  You're kidding right? Steve Jobs delayed his cancer treatment because he believed this sort of stuff. We do not know how to cure cancer by changing your diet.

  I know you have good intentions, but that documentary wasn't very realistic -- it wasn't really well-grounded in science. For example, they keep presenting an argument about how milk protein is harmful because lab rodents developed liver cancer when fed with a diet of 20% milk protein, as opposed to rats fed with a diet of 5% milk protein. What they don't mention is that many of the rats fed 5% milk protein died. In terms of meat, they don't make a logically sound argument against eating lean white meat or fish. Fish can be extremely healthy and nutritious. Every argument presented in that movie applies mainly to red meats or unhealthily-cooked white meats. They just use red meats as an example, and then make generalizations. And like most documentaries, they include anecdotes to keep your attention. It's a movie with good intentions (it's a lot easier for the average American to be healthy just by cutting down on meat consumption), but exaggerated claims (meat -- especially fish and lean white meats -- and milk protein isn't going to kill you, and can actually be very nutritious).
