Back when I was studying nutritional science in university, I began to seriously question what we were being taught. The alarm bells didn’t truly go off, however, until we ventured into the core of the program — dietary recommendations for health.

I was quite surprised to discover these recommendations were nothing more than the USDA food pyramid developed in the early 1990s. Processed food heavy — with a staggering recommendation of 6-11 servings of bread, cereal, rice and pasta — the bottom tier of the pyramid is the result of reducing the fruit and vegetable suggestion, due to an order by the Secretary of Agriculture who wanted to push more cereal grains and processed foods.

As it turns out, poor nutritional recommendations aren’t limited to the USDA or universities — they are rife in our medical system and organizations such as the American Heart Association, American Cancer Society and the American Diabetes Association.

What’s more, these establishments have been shown to have huge conflicts of interest with industries that have everything to gain in keeping Americans fat, sick and tired. This is exactly what filmmakers Kip Anderson and Keegan Kuhn (creators of Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret) set out to expose. What they discovered was far more corrupt than they imagined.

Not so long ago, the World Health Organization looked at some 800 studies from 10 countries and subsequently classified processed meats — including bacon, salami, sausage, hotdogs — as a group one carcinogen, the same classification at asbestos, plutonium and cigarettes. Just one serving of processed meat per day increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 18%. As noted in the film, many of these studies have been around for 50 years. This led Anderson to ask, “Why haven’t I been hearing this information from the American Cancer Society?”
