Planeat



Life Changing!
I first saw Planeat as part of a film festival that Whole Foods put on. I was vaguely aware of the benefits of a plant-based diet, but I had no idea that eating plants can reverse heart disease and arrest cancer growth. The film is a real eye-opener for those not already aware of the work of doctors T.Colin Campbell and Caldwell Esselstyn (Bill Clinton's heart doc), but also focuses on the benefits to the planet from reducing our intake of animal protein. It shows how plant-based diets can mean eating amazing food, with top chefs like Chad Sarno from Whole Foods and the team at New York's Pure Food & Wine, among others, demonstrating amazing recipes for healthy, plant-based eating. I've gradually changed my diet to a being mostly plant-based and it feels great and tastes great. Highly Recommended.

The Beginning of an Amazing Journey
I also saw Planeat as part of a film festival that Whole Foods put on in 2011. It started me on a wonderful journey into the world of plant based eating and the incredible health benefits associated with the program. I've since read many other books and viewed other videos covering the same topic and have now switched to a plant-based eating program and feel terrific. If you are looking to improve your health and do something good for our planet, this video is the perfect place to start on your journey. You won't be disappointed.

Healthy Eating for Foodies & Other Humans
I received a review copy, and thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It's up there with other excellent and inspiring nutrition documentaries like Forks over Knives, Fat Sick & Nearly Dead, Food Inc., etc. Planeat is the perfect film to give to friends who are 'foodies', but not yet convinced that a plant-based way of eating can be delicious and even sophisticated. The evidence that this way of eating is just as tasty, plus healthier for the individual and the planet, is overwhelming. And the descriptions of interesting restaurant recipes are tantalizing.Thanks for a terrific documentary.
