This documentary pissed me off.
It’s so biased and a lot of the stuff is *beep* and untrue, e.g.
‘Eating fruits and vegetables no matter how much the amount will never cause you to gain weight’
WRONG.
If the number of calories you consume is more than the amount you burn you WILL gain weight, no matter which foods you are eating.
It then goes on to show alternatives to meat and diary - basically packaged, processed, soybean filled foods, which are just as bad as the hormone, antibiotic, steroid filled meat and diary products of today.
This is followed by a preview of foods which are actually vegan without meaning to be e.g. Oreos! Excuse me, but that is not in the least sense healthy at all. There’s a difference between healthy vegans and junk food vegans just as there are healthy meat eaters and junk food meat eaters. They’re lying to people to try and get them to turn vegan! Seriously enraging.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t eat meat or diary - just fish - but I do know that eating these highly processed alternatives is NOT healthy.
The less processed, and more ‘whole’ a food is, the better.
(However I will say that they show good footage and give good information on how animals are treated, on factory farm practices and on the effect on the environment - but besides that the documentary is biased and makes false claims and accusations)

12. Capitalism: A Love Story (2009)
R | 127 min | Documentary, Crime, History
An examination of the social costs of corporate interests pursuing profits at the expense of the public good.
Director: Michael Moore | Stars: Michael Moore, William Black, Jimmy Carter, Elijah Cummings
Votes: 43,880 | Gross: $14.36M
I think it's disgusting how Michael Moore went to the churches and used religion to try and convince people of his opinion.
Seriously disgusting.
Capitalism isn't the devil - Corporate America and most TNC's are.
The concept of capitalism in itself, if regulated well, with rules in place limiting too much power and wealth concentration, is actually great.
But this probably will never happen in the present system.
