  1. I saw another film recently, and while it is not #vegan by name, it all but confirms it throughout the movie.

    The movie was #TheGamechangers (available on Netflix), and it feels like an updated version of #ForksOverKnives (in fact there are a few 'cameos' of some of the people from the original film). I believe it was very well done stylistically, and I found the animations when discussing the science quite nice. Also, the appearance of #ArnoldSchwarzenegger was, I feel, a great boost to the movement. In fact, I found the executive team consisted of quite a line up, in addition to Arnold the executive producers included:

    -#JackieChan
    -#JamesCameron
    -#LewisHamilton
    -#NovakDjokovic
    -#ChrisPaul

    (There's debates on their dedication to the #veganism movement, as I am sure some will point out.)

    Not sure how I feel about the section on the erection talk but it seems like the film was targeting a male based audience at that point!

    The conclusion was quite clear though, a #PlantBasedDiet, doesn't hinder an athlete, and you can get tasty food out of a vegan diet.

    It is rated well on #imdb and is rated 'fresh' on #RottenTomatoes.

  2. After watching #WhatTheHealth and #Cowspiracy, I made some time to check out a few other similar movies.

    I first saw #Seaspiracy, and the message was very clear to me...

    If you don't eat, but like and admire the intelligence of:
    -#Whales 🐳
    -#Dolphins 🐬
    -#Sharks 🦈
    and
    -#Octopuses 🐙 (side note, #TeamOctopuses! 🐙🦑),

    Then you shouldn't be eating #fish of any kind, and you should very well adopt a #vegan / #PlantBasedDiet. 🐟🌱🐠

    Directed by Ali Tabrizi and available on Netflix, it has the same style as the previous films directed by Kip Andersen, so that could be seen as either a +ve or a -ve, depending on your bias. I thoroughly enjoyed it, finding the whale hunt and the subsequent whaler interview particularly powerful.

    It is rated well on #imdb and is rated 'fresh' on #RottenTomatoes.

    The second film I saw was #ForksOverKnives. This I found to be a much better film overall in presenting the history, science and research in benefit to a whole foods plant based diet. Sadly, I feel like the way it was filmed will put some people off (some -ve reviews talk about it being slow/boring (c.f. What The Health being over the top)). I personally didn't feel that. In fact, I am currently watching the Forks Over Knives Extended Interviews film, because I want to know more! It is the kind of film I wish someone recommended to me when it came out! It's the scientist in me talking. 🧑‍🔬
