In Search of the Perfect Human Diet (2012)
Great presentation of a simple yet profound idea
Excellent documentary of an idea that seems so simple yet profound: when determining what we should consume, look to how we as humans have lived for the vast majority of the past 2 million years. When viewed through that context, the ideas of eating highly processed foods, eating only vegetables or eating large amounts of grain are the untested and somewhat radical approaches. Yet those diets are what we either consume or are told to consume. I wish the documentary would have explained in more detail that they recommend removing grains and sugars but replacing them with healthy fats. I thought the Primal Diet was about eating more protein but they seam to say that we should replace the sugar and grain calories with more fats including animal fats for optimal health. But otherwise, fast paced for a documentary, well presented information that should be eye-opening to all.
