Awesome. I really do find it amazing that the health organizations and top nutrition professionals don't even pay lip service to a whole food plant-based diet.

Dr McDougall wasn't in the trailer though! It would be cool if he is in the film.

This sounds like a good excuse for a Bay Area McDougaller outing. I'll be rousting the troops to see this screening.
Thanks Skip.

The health industry must be under pressure. Finally a major disease organization the American Diabetes Association in the 2017 Standards for Diabetic Care have put a recommendation for "plant-based" as a healthy eating pattern. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics had a statement on vegetarian/vegan diets for a long time, recently revised. Other than that, much of the health organizations are heavily influenced by the animal product industry as well as big Pharma, Monsanto, and even junk and fast food companies. For example, look at this donor list of American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation:

What's wrong with this picture? Even the AAP had the shame enough to kick Monsanto "to the curb" under pressure from mom bloggers.

I just finished watching a private screening of it, OMG it is AMAZING! Not enough Dr. McDougall, but this will really hit home for so many people. It makes the American Cancer Society, American Diabetes Association, American Heart Association look like criminals.

This is the study the diabetes association president relied on in his famous tantrum. Any analysis of this already? Makes it look like all diets are the same. My guess is no one followed them too well. 3 pounds in a year of weight loss? McDougall's live in gets that in a week.

Damn, I would have so loved to have been at the NYC premier but I was in and still am in Greece and will be returning March 13th at night.

Are there going to be any other screenings in NYC or Northern NJ?

I respectfully disagree with that one, they really ACT like whole bunch of criminals by working synergistically to rob everyone:
