The Game Changers

Total garbage. An unscientific movie, that presents lies as truth, and leading ignorant people to the wrong conclusion. Comparing the intestines of wolf and humans, saying that our intestines are longer, so, we are vegans, but not comparing us with herbivores too, to see even a bigger difference. Lying by omission and misleading. Our ancestors were vegans, but they had B12 drinking water from the rivers and eating dirty plants. They say B12 is made by bacterias, so it doesn't come from animals. Well, bacterias that made B12 belongs to Animalia Kingdom, so, are animals. Total garbage. Couldn't watch the whole movie. Should be removed, just like fake news. Also, presents around 5 vegan athletes with some results, generalizing from 5 to all, but ignoring the vast majority of omnivorous athletes, Olympic champions. Who made this film is an biased shameless person.

I absolutely loved it. Convinced me to try veganism with the science they presented. It's a great watch. Try getting 80 grams of protein from tofu for a few days, I swear you'll can feel the results. Thanks terminator

Fantástico. Mudou minha visão de algumas questões de forma bastante relevante e me foi um divisor de águas. Para mim poderia se chama "Life Changers". Excelente produção.

I have no idea why I suddenly started getting ads for this movie that came out six years ago about veganism, but I recently did a fast and read a book about fasting. The two general schools of nutrition that adopt fasting seem to be vegans and screw-loose keto-diet types. I already understand the keto diet and I reject it. It's so, so misguided. I'm also pretty familiar with the vegetarian movement and I support it for primarily ecological reasons. This book I read argued for whole-plant-foods diet and cited a bunch of books including works by Dean Ornish, T. Colin Campbell, and others. So I watched this movie when I saw that it featured interviews with Dean Ornish and focused on high-performance athletes instead of sad sacks weeping into the camera. I'll give it, like 42/100. It is short, which is a mercy. It's on solid footing when it's showing world-class vegetarian athletes as a demonstration that you can give up meat without sacrificing manliness, and especially when it begins to talk about the ecological impacts of meat production. That is all why I have significantly reduced my own meat consumption. Discussions about the science of plant food diets is a lot rougher. There are some specious claims made about evolutionary biology, for example, that human digestive tracts more closely resemble those of vegetarian animals than carnivorous animals. This claim is supported by a graphic showing that human intestines are 15x our body length, compared to 4x for carnivores. I thought "That would make my intestines 90 feet long. I don't think that's right." In fact it's not right, human GI tracts are usually on the order of 5x body length. The movie also uses interview snippets (from Dean Ornish, among others) from people who advocate replacing our meat largely with vegetables, without fully embracing the claims that vegans make. I read a rebuttal of Ornish's work and his rebuttal to the rebuttal and the rebuttal to the rebuttal to the rebuttal, and I have to admit that Ornish acquits himself well in justifying his support for a diet that largely replaces meat with vegetables without necessarily requiring total vegetarianism (one of his books prominently places a piece of salmon on the cover.) I think that's a message that's justifiable from both a health and ecological point of view. But it's not the same as the one being promoted in the movie, which features a lot of beauty shots of vegan junk food like mac and cheez. Watch it to hear vegan athletes tell snippets of their stories. Scrunch up your brows a bit when a doctor shows a cloudy plasma fraction in a test tube, as if the Brix score of your blood plasma were the same thing as your heart attack risk.

Everyone should watch this movie!

Like most humans, I probably wouldn't have watched this if I new what it was about. Thankfully, I accidentally ran it this. I think this and the paradigm shift it has inspired in my life and the seven miles I ran this morning - make it the most important film I've seen in a long time. POWER UP!

An interesting documentary but isn't going to be a "Game Changer" for the genre

An inspiring documentary with people that clearly know what they're talking about. Well edited and produced, filled with sources for the information that is shared.

Science based & very insightful. Funny and engaging.. a must watch!

Fuzzy facts and they try to trick you with seemingly logical arguments with no basis in reality. Pretty smart movie for people who don't fact check.
