About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a provocative, easy-to-follow documentary that mixes personal stakes with broader questions about food marketing and health; Not for you if you dislike agenda-driven docs or want rigorous science like Gasland.
Pros: bold self-experiment hook; eye-opening industry facts; engaging, often funny | Cons: not very scientific; message feels heavy-handed; some parts feel dated
