Food Documentaries

[bananaberrie]

I LOVE documentaries about food. I have watched everyone that I know about, but I am sure that there are a lot more out there. My two favorites are:

The Beautiful Truth (this one is really great!!)
Food Matters (this one helped me in my decision to go raw)

Some others that I have watched are:

The Future of Food
Food Inc.
Killer at Large

Are there any other good ones you guys know about that I haven't listed?

Thanks

Simply Raw was pretty cool. It wasn't as great as I was thinking it was going to be before hand, based on all the hype, but it was good.

And this isn't actually a food movie in and of itself, but The Green Beautiful is a terrific movie if you've never seen it and I just think it splendidly accompanies the raw life!
You can watch all 9 parts on Youtube.

Oh, I forgot I have also watched :

King Corn
Dirt: The Movie
Super size Me

[Psychalone]

Breakthrough was a good one, i thought. Not alot of science but still inspiring. For me Storm was the one who inspired me to get into raw veganism. And you can watch it free here:

Other food oriented ones would be things like "The fluride deception", and that film on GMOs, I forget what it's called, I downloaded it off a torrent.

I agree! I love having new ideas for films (and books, tho that's not this thread) for inspiration, motivation and new knowledge about RF.

Oh yeah, I forgot about The Gerson Miracle. Any good ones that are available on Netflix. I'm having a hard time finding some of these.

When does Fat, Sick an Nearly Dead come out?

The Botany Of Desire

The Botany Of Desire

Oh yes! That is a very good one.

[Raw Angel Mom]

-A diet for all reason
-A diet for a new America

Helped me to stay vegan and very informative.

A new one that is coming "Forks versus knives", i cannot wait to see this one. It is playing in some locations in the US but i don't think it is available in DVD

i loved DIRT. :)

Food Matters is what I've used in the past in attempt to convince others that health is important.

I know this has nothing to do with RAW Food living, but I also love watching health documentaries and another thing that appeals to me are Docs on Earth/Life/Plants:
Check out The Secret Life of Plants. It's a wonderful series.

I thought people might appreciate Roger Ebert's review of "Forks over Knives"

By the way, I did pick up the Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead DVD at Whole Foods - it was really good!!

[klomasius]

Most of the ones I'd mention have already been mentioned, but another one is 'Supercharge Me' and 'A Delicate Balance'. :)

[klomasius]

Great thread by the way! I've got some good suggestions to watch.

OMG. I just watched the first 20 minutes and cried like a baby. I didn't close my eyes. I will watch the rest later. Unbelieveable.
