Ending the debate on The Game Changers
When an ex pro MMA fighter, world-record holding athletes, National champions, professional bodybuilders, and a multitude of other athletes all promote a plant-based diet for optimal performanceโฆ itโs naturally going to turn heads, right?
Letโs be honest, these athletes are the healthiest and fittest humans on Earth, so weโre going to want to know their secrets to success.
Weโve got to hand it to James Cameron and the rest of The Game Changers Team, theyโve marketed Veganism from a very strong angle. Weโre not surprised that itโs gone so viral.
But in the midst of this veggie frenzy and everyoneโs polarising opinions, weโre here to share our thoughts with you.
Not only is the documentary is polarising, but many experts have critiqued it too.ย
Yes, there is information in the film that we donโt agree with, but weโd like to discuss its overlapping messageโฆย
A message of health.
A vegan diet is not a โbetterโ diet.
It’s a different diet.
If you choose to go purely plant-based, be smart!
Although the documentaryโs main focus is on performance, the reason it has come about is the idea that cutting out meat will save our planet. Unfortunately, weโre still feeding into the issue; mass production from both mono-crops and animals are bad for the environment.
You can eat Vegan, but be very conscious of your choices. If youโre doing it for the enrolment, then be doubly conscious; products such as soy, wheat and supermarket brought produce are mostly suboptimal for the environment.
Whatโs the answer?
Buy locally grown and farmed produce to support your local farmers.
Eating Vegan may work for some, but it certainly isnโt for everyone.
If you havenโt already, check out my interview with Lierre Keith, author of the Vegetarian Myth, to gain an alternative insight into the world of a plant-based diet.
And stay tuned for a new podcast with plant-based expert, Jeremy Evans, and myself talking about all-things vegan.
