Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

capitainelaitue This is the story of a narcissist heteronormative man who believes he holds the truth about the history of the human kind. From avoiding the realities of slavery in american history (supposedly, food brought black slaves and slave owners together in peace), to having the egocentrism to believe he can impose meat eating onto vegetarian AND have change their life, to perpetuating patriarchal male ideals as well as gender inequalities, to cultural appropriation, to assuming that meat is the main food in all culture, Pollan really succeeds in showing how narrow-minded and ignorant white privileged folks can be.

jorgitovk The initial approaching is quite exciting, an anthropologist journey into the origins of the cuisine culture itself,... I like the idea.Unfortunately you will find yourself socked by the prejudice male sexist speech of the author. All served with abundant ethnocentrism, and 'pearls' like "how barbecue's build our manhood" and worse. Very offensive for women, and an insult to the intelligence and critical thinking in general.

bellebones-33752 Spoiler alert - I couldn't continue watching after an aboriginal woman snapped a giant lizards legs "so he wouldn't scratch" her while she carried him around. If you're going to eat the poor thing at least don't torture it. That scene made me want to vomit. It's disheartening because I was genuinely looking forward to learning about cooking on a meta scale, but I'd rather research on my own without having to view the shocking image of a woman being cruel. It seems that if our brains were so large and advanced that we would stop being so archaic. Anyone who holds reptiles especially close to their hearts will be devastated by the manner in which they are still tortured and killed - even now when this film was made in 2016.

Navaf What I really relished watching this series is when he backtracks the basic inventions like bread making to its best origins. How the modern mass scale industrial production had ruined the basic essence of bread making. How some basic techniques were discarded to speed up the process but in doing so we were actually making a backtracking interms of the nutrition processing in its natural raw form. Its almost as if the importance of sour dough is rediscovered. The gluten scare maybe born of skipping this step.The same journey with that of natural fermentation of cheese.Its a delight to watch.
