Health/Food/Exercise Documentaries?
 

Hey, I am just wondering the names of some documentaries that are related to health/food/exericise.. things like that. I remember there is one "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" and "Food Inc". Does anyone have any suggestions for others?

This probably isn't what you're looking for, but I thought "Marathon Boy" was not only really well done, but also quite thought provoking... And for some reason I find it very motivating... I mean if this little kid can run marathons under pretty brutal conditions... well, then I really shouldn't ever be complaining about my training...

I really liked "Forks over Knives", and then "Supersize me" and "Fat Head" were interesting to watch- they are both conflicting ideas but it was interesting to see different takes on different types of eating..

"Sugar: the bitter truth" can be found on youtube and I loved that also!

Someone just recommended to me "Hungry for Change." I found that you can rent it on iTunes, which I plan to do. I looked at the trailer and it looked really good.

I'd also like to see "Pandora's Lunchbox" by Melanie Warren but not sure if there is a documentary or just the book.

Also I highly recommend the documentaries (on YouTube) by Michael Pollan.

I second the "Vegucated" recommendation. DH and I really enjoyed it. Interesting concept - it follows a few New Yorkers who agree to go vegan for 6 weeks, and documents their journey, struggles, and successes.

I just watched Hungry for Change and thought it was really interesting. It's online streaming on netflix :)

"Hungry for Change" is available for rental on YouTube as well. I've been debating about renting it since there is so much good free stuff available on YouTube and Hulu.

"Food Fight" by Michael Pollan is very good. You can watch it free on Hulu

"Chow Down" is also good...and free on Hulu

The Skinny on Obesity is a series of small documentaries about Sugar: The Bitter Truth. All free on youtube and they are awesome!

Awesome! Thank you for the suggestions!

I'm watching Hungry for Change right now (I can only vouch for the first half :D) but it's very interesting so far!

Here is the whole thing for free

My votes go to Forks over Knives, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, Food Matters and Hungry for Change. I have watched all three at least three times each. Love them all! Very motivating!
