Food Matters (2008)
1/10
Virtually total "BS"
14 January 2011
This movie is virtually full of crap and only the gullible will believe this garbage. Now not all of it is bad since the info on Spirulina is fairly accurate, so there is some truth. Unfortunately the rest of it is pure trash, "doctors don't believe in vitamins"?. I've never met a single colleague that has never taken vitamins and their prescription lightly.

What medical schools did these guys attend, one of the main things you learn is about vitamins and their benefits, not to mention in my board exams there were plenty of questions based on vitamins alone. We as health professionals don't ask about the persons diet? Again that is a sheer lie, anyone that is one of the first things you ask when trying to figure out the origin of a problem.

Watch this for what it is entertainment, but do not take it as truth because frankly this is one of the worst documentaries I've ever seen. This move is full of lies and cherry picking cases, because lets face it there are good (majority) and bad doctors. The film makers had an agenda and picked up nuts and liars.

Notice how there was at no point anyone to offer a counter point in the move, a key piece in serious documentaries. Everyone one they've picked all spout the same thing, not to mention the majority from the one man in his living that was flat out lying and distorting the truth from the beginning.

Sadly I see that a couple of the reviews actually believe this crap and I feel sorry for them. If you actually believe that the medical field is as bad as this movie says it is, then there is no hope for you. One of the few things they got right is that we are what we eat. Unfortunately unlike what the movie would have you believe, pharmaceutical company executives are not forcing people to eat McDonalds, Pizza Hut, KFC, etc at gun point. Obesity is a problem because people eat crap regardless whether you tell them to change their diet for good.
