You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment (2024)
Extremely biased, but interesting
I have looked into the benefits of veganism for years, and am convinced there are a lot of health benefits. I enjoyed the show, but there are two major issues. First, they portray this as a scientific study, while every single person involved is biased from the start. That bias is present in just about every moment of the show. The second issue is that those in the show, with the exception of one person acknowledging one time that prices will go down over time, completely ignore the fact that the vastly majority of Americans cannot afford to eat the products and diets that they are pushing in the show. They try to make everyone feel guilty for not eating plant-based meat, even though it is $10 a pound as opposed to $3-4. Most American families cannot afford to double or triple their food costs to eat healthier or save the planet or whatever else this show is telling us we are failing at. Most of us are just trying to get by with the little that we have. Many are probably like me, who wish they could make these changes, but simply can't afford it.
