What's the thrust of this doc?

Eating plants = good, Eating Meat = you will slowly die as your body rejects what you're putting in it

What is your body rejecting, according to the doc? Saturated fats? Antibiotics? Stuff occurring naturally in animal protein, or stuff that's put in there from factory farming?

Blood vessels restrict, stomach bacteria goes haywire...... 'Animals are the middlemen - you only get protein from the plants that they eat' - there was a small bit about the effects of farming on the environment.

Maybe you should watch it, and then report back

Nah, that sounds like a bunch of bullshit.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
