What Was Gamechangers<\/strong><\/p>\n

This documentary seeks to expose the negative effects of eating meat, while promoting plant based diets.\u00a0 There were many statistics including that the main narrator who was recovering from severe knee injuries had tried 6 weeks on a plant based diet and shattered the record time at his gym on battle ropes of 20 minutes with his own personal best of 1 hour and 1 minute.\u00a0 Another example is that \u201cpeople who get all of their protein from plants reduce their risk of heart disease by 55 %\u201d(36.28)<\/span><\/p>\n

Ideologies<\/strong><\/p>\n

The stereotype that vegetarians are not as strong as those who eat meat. Originally thought protein gives you energy but it was shown that that was false, glycogen from carbs and veggies give you the energy to exercise. All protein originates from plants, it’s what cows, pigs, and chickens eat. Patrik Baboumian was asked how \u201care you as strong as an ox without eating any meat?\u201d He replied \u201c have you ever seen an ox eat meat?\u201d\u00a0 Another example is James Wilks, he was doing the ropes and the goal time to get is 20 straight minutes, and you write your time on the wall,\u00a0 just from doing the plant based diet he was able to do it for over an hour.<\/span><\/p>\n

Key Storylines<\/strong><\/p>\n

The documentary picked examples of primarily world records, but also pointing out smaller successes.\u00a0 This meant anything from Olympic sports to erections.\u00a0 In the case of the erections, all 3 subjects had them stronger and more often during the night after eating plant based.\u00a0 I think they choose such a variety of situations in order to sell the plant based diet to as many people as they could.<\/span><\/p>\n

Linkages to Class<\/strong><\/p>\n

Culturally most people eat meat and it is a staple of their diets. In the weightlifting and sports world meat has been thought to be the only way to get bigger and stronger muscles and to excel in sports. In class we have discussed how food is advertised and aimed toward a certain race or a certain gender, but this plant based diet is being pushed to everybody to all races and genders. We have also talked about companies advertising and in a way are lying about the healthfulness of the food they are promoting. In this documentary it showed a nutritionist talking about how processed meats have no bad health effect, and people should feel free to eat as much as they want, because companies paid her to say that to keep the dollars rolling in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Film Opinion<\/strong><\/p>\n

This documentary was very informative and it did a great job selling plant based diets.\u00a0 However, it made it seem like all plants taste great or that getting access to great tasting plant based meals is easy.\u00a0 From my experience this is a huge turn off for me.\u00a0 As a college student I simply don\u2019t have time to cook my own meals, not to mention that I have never enjoyed the process of cooking.\u00a0 It is boring for me, not to mention it is stressful because I don\u2019t want to mess it up and not have anything worth eating.\u00a0 Also I have yet to find a plant based option that tastes anywhere near as good as one with meat.\u00a0 That being said I am a picky eater, so a plant based diet to me would be pretty much nothing but lettuce and ranch dressing.\u00a0 Tomato soup is okay, but I\u2019m not a fan.\u00a0 Vegetables like broccoli or carrots taste great if they are cooked right, but that also can make them less healthy as well.\u00a0 As for fruit, I like apples, but I don\u2019t like eating up close to the core, so I leave a good bit of it still on the core.\u00a0 Bananas are fine, but relative to most other foods I wouldn\u2019t choose one.\u00a0 Same goes for grapes, and I stay away from any other fruit because I hate citrus so much, and I haven\u2019t liked anything other than those 3 fruits.\u00a0 So although the documentary made many compelling arguments, I would be unable to deal with the taste.\u00a0 I don\u2019t believe that I would feel better.\u00a0 I do believe I might be healthier if someone else made everything for me, but on my own I would be constantly hungry, and I would not enjoy food like I do now.\u00a0 It would be simply something I had to do to live rather than something I look forward to.\u00a0 In the future when my metabolism isn\u2019t so high and I have more money and time, maybe I could ease into it, but for now it is simply not an option for me.<\/span><\/p>\n
