In the documentary Food Matters the main argument was about medicated drugs and vitamins. They talked about how vitamins could be just as effective for humans and better for us then medical drugs. They talked about how people use medicated drugs to heal themselves but the body heals itself naturally and all it needs is the proper nutrients to help the body heal itself. The people in this film believe that if more people were to eat healthier and have the proper nutrition the body needs then they would not need to take medical drugs which only help with one area of the body. Were as Vitamins help with every part of the body so you would not have to go back and take another medical drug after another. When things in your body stop working you just eat right and take your vitamins and your body will be okay. I do agree with the things that were said in this movie. When they talk about how vitamins help with the body I have a personal experience with that. When I was younger my mother used to give me cod liver oil. What this did was it helped with the immune system. Taking this oil as a child I noticed that I didn't get sick like the other children in my school and I was not back and forth to the doctors. It was not until I got older and I stopped taking this cod liver oil that I began to get sick more often with the common cold. I also started to realize that there are a bunch of different medicines that are used for the same thing its just that some are more than others. In the movie they talk about doctors not studying nutrition. Now I don't know if this is true or not but when I go to the doctors and tell them whats wrong with me they always direct me toward a medical drug that will help with the problem I am having. And the medical drugs always has side effects of things that may happen if I take that drug. But they don't tell me about a vitamin I can use to help with the problem I am having and how that is better for me because it does not have any side effects that can hurt me unless I am allergic. So this movie got me thinking about questions i want to ask. Is money more important than health in America? Are doctors not informed about vitamins and nutrition?
In the documentary Food Matters it is about nutrition in the world today. There are about three or four people who are being interviewed on nutrition in the world today. They are all giving information on nutrition how to get it and the importance of super foods and vitamins. These people study nutrition and believe that nutrition is what we need. They all do their research and find that medical drugs are not needed because the body heals itself but it needs the nutrients and vitamins. The nutrients and vitamins are needed to help the body heal on its own. They talk about the food that we eat now a days and how it is grown from soil that does not carry all of the proper nutrients that is needed to grow properly. Some of the doctors that are being interviewed have a very strong opinion on what they believe is wrong with the medical system today. For instance "They need education not medication" this quote was said by one of the nutritionist and it is clear that he believe that the doctors now do not have the proper education they need to help with the human body. Its mentioned that that in order to get what are body needs we should consume 51 percent of every meal raw because once it is cooked it loses its nutrients. One of the doctors stated in this movie that less than 6 percent of doctors study nutrition. Their studies are mainly focused on medical drugs. The purpose of this movie was to both inform and pursude
