It is blindingly obvious from their titles. Reading a synopsis confirms them as advocacy films. That's fine, as long as they don't pretend to be factual and generally applicable, like Rush Limbaugh and Michael Moore.
Yes, that's fine. Watch them and take from them what you will. Probably wise advice if you want to continue to be a smart arse.
As a former vegetarian I have always felt this to be a ridiculous argument in favour of not eating meat.
Good for you, thankfully your feelings are not obligatory feelings for the rest of us. My daughter would disagree with you but what does she know. Anyway, as it happens, I happen to have no problem killing animals or anything else for food. I have a problem with mass produced chemically induced schyte that's passed off as meat by large companies that think I'm stupid though. Different story.
Since I can't get a burger for less than a head of broccoli, unless it is in fact one that contains no patty I can't say it would tell me anything. I don't make judgements based on how much a particular food costs relative to another because it is a meaningless point of comparison. It really shouldn't be enough to get anyone thinking about the relative merits of various foods. It's in fact been shown for instance that more expensive organically grown vegetables are no more nutritious or healthy than industrially grown ones, and that in blind tests even hippies can't tell them apart.
Lol. I get the feeling that in your haste to have an opinion which conflicts with mine, you have completely missed the point. Hippies ffs, what are you on dude? Don't force your ignorance and stupidity onto me please. If I was concerned with taste I'd be sitting in the Spur right now chowing down a pepper melt hunga buster with chips and onion rings.
But sure, ok, on you go then. Where has this been shown? And really, who gives a schyt? I'm far more interested in the implications to mine and my families health when considering the effects of genetically modified crops or the findings of the China Study on meat and dairy rich diets. Hippies and taste tests? Good grief man.
But back to your point. When adding up a meat patty, a bun, a couple of gherkins, tomato sauce and mustard to R10 for a McDonalds burger compared to at least R15 for a packet of non organic broccoli from Woolies, I have a curious enough brain to wonder how the burger would cost less. But as I say, I'm inquisitive enough to ask these things t least to myself. Seems like you'd rather pretend to be cool. Again, good for you.
Well some examples are that salt is bad for you, fat is unhealthy, etc. More recent research shows this to be bunkum, but we're still told to cut down on salt in spite this now being known to be potentially dangerous, even fatally so. We still get people advocating consuming as much anti-oxidants as possible, but we now know ingesting more can be harmful.
Too much of anything is bad for you? Is that a surprise? But wtf is the salt and fat thing about? Have you read a headline on news24 or something? Care to elaborate on exactly which kind of fat you are talking about. And just what is the recommended daily allowance for salt? And where did you read it and why would you believe it's now ok? Who carried out this research, can you post a url?
