Eating You Alive Movie Discussion (on Zoom)

TOPIC

Movie Eating You Alive (1 hour, 52 minutes long) – Half of all adults in the U.S. struggle with chronic health conditions including cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, Alzheimer’s, arthritis and erectile dysfunction. Despite countless dollars spent on medical research, new drugs and innovative technology to improve our health, more Americans are disabled and dying from chronic disease than ever before.

Featuring leading medical experts and researchers, Eating You Alive takes a scientific look at the reasons we’re so sick, who’s responsible for feeding us the wrong information and how we can use whole-food, plant-based nutrition to take control of our health—one bite at a time.

HOW TO WATCH FILM – Participants should watch the 1 hour 52 minute film ahead of time, which is available for free on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMdSUB-Lbp8. You can get more information about the movie and watch the trailer at https://www.eatingyoualive.com. Feel free to take notes and/or write down any questions that arise.

DISCUSSION LEADERS – Jeff Baker and John Dundon will lead a discussion of the movie on Zoom on Thursday 10/20 and Saturday 10/29 from 7 to 8:30 pm. They will invite participants to share their reactions to the movie, discuss the health effects of a plant-based diet, share strategies for changing your diet, provide resources, answer questions, and facilitate discussion among participants about the joys and challenges of moving towards a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle.
