Food Documentaries

Throughout my posts from time to time I may mention a documentary I see as worthy of viewing. Some are difficult to watch, but definitely worthwhile. Whilst many people have seen these, I will link them all the same for those that have not. I will try to give a brief description of each one so you know what you’re getting yourself into prior to watching it. I hope that the collection of documentaries below help people see some of the truths behind food production and health. As with everything these days, take from these what you will, but be open minded to the possibilities of what’s happening in the world today.


You can find most of the full versions below. (I will try to find the full version and link them for you). Otherwise trailers on YouTube for the documentary will be provided and you will need to look for the video yourself, or buy it.


Some of the videos listed below are certainly not suitable for children as they are very graphic, and raw.


Food Inc.

This documentary is based in America so some of this does not apply to Australia....yet. America sets the bar for most western countries so I feel it’s only a matter of time before we too have similar issues with our food system, if it hasn’t already started happening. Food Inc lifts the lid on how foods arrive on our plate, and covers various industries. This is a great introduction to what’s happening in the mainstream to our food.

Forks over Knives

This documentary is compilation of doctors and scientists views on existing eating habits, documented studies, and the conclusive results they have come to. It's a very interesting watch as multiple studies from different parts of the world come to the same conclusion about out eating habits and how we need to change.

Fire Water

This documentary is a little close to home for comfort. I was unaware our tap water in Victoria had chemicals added to it to "mass medicate" the public with things like fluoride which is supposed to be good for your teeth. This issue as proven in this documentary is that a clinical pharmaceutical grade Fluoride is NOT used in our water. Instead they use a waste product from metal smelting and fertilizer production factories. The issue with this is that it is in fact a different type of Fluoride, and it also contains other harmful chemicals and heavy metals. This is apparently what’s in our drinking water and this process has been banned in many countries because of the harmful effects, and resistance to mass medicating the population.

Earthlings

My god.....never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would ever see a documentary that would literally change my life from that instant. From the moment I finished this documentary, I was an instant vegan (no joke), and have been doing so since seeing this. Now whilst some will say that "this only happens in America", or “they are isolated incidents", I say it does not matter. My take was that this is happening today all over the world, and it's only going to get worse with our ever growing demand and greed for meat and animal tested products. This documentary IS NOT SUITABLE FOR MINORS.

It is by far the most raw and gruesome footage I have ever seen (and I have seen some really messed up stuff on the internet),....except it is real. I challenge you to watch this in full, and don't turn away. If you eat meat, it's time to learn how it gets to your plate! We owe the animals we have eaten the humanity to at least uncover how this industry works. No more ignorance or denial about happy cows and pigs. You have been warned...

Food That Kills
This was a rather interesting doco on linking meat related diets to health issues now common and present in most parts of the westernized world. Presented by Dr. Michael Klaper, he presents scientific evidence proving how harmful certain meat related produce can be for the human body.

Sweet Misery

We all know that chemical's we put in our body will not be good for us, but when they are concentrated, and our body does not know how to handle it, that’s when the unbalance within the body begins, and as some people in this doco have experienced, they became sick and some developed cancer. The most interesting point from this I personally found was the small comments on MSG, and its effect. Whilst I knew it was bad, I had no idea it was THAT bad! Same goes for aspartame. How is this stuff allowed to be sold, and what effect is it going to have on us and our children in the long term? Again people will tell you that its safe, but there is nothing natural about both MSG or aspartame, and the evidence is stacked against these chemicals.

Best speech you will ever hear

I was sceptical at first when this man started speaking, but he does add some value to my current beliefs. He lays it down like it is, he is not out to sell anything, but purely to provide the world with information about what’s taking place in the meat/dairy industry. He helps people realize that by supporting the industry, you are supporting the cruelty. As he says “What’s the argument for causing the least amount of harm?”. A great watch. Enjoy.
