This show opened my eyes to much more than I was expecting! It has had a transformational effect on how my husband and I eat on a daily basis. I am one of those people who used to (inside my mind) roll my eyes when people talked about the environmental effects of raising cattle, large scale chicken farming and farm raised fish. As biased as other reviewers want to say the show is, the reality is the drone photography of the cattle "farms" doesn't lie. Never once in my life did I consider eating a more vegetable focused diet. I grew up eating meat, veges and starches - good, traditional American diet. However, after watching the show, my husband and I have been eating mainly vegetable based dinners (we are NOT vegetarians). We are just limiting meat - especially beef - as well as processed food (thanks to the app Yuko - blessing and a curse). In about 5 weeks, my husband is no longer coughing. at. all. Before, he would cough thru the night due to post nasal drip (allergy) and he takes allergy medicine. Now, no coughing - what a blessing! Additionally, he said he can hear better. We are thinking it is due to reduced inflammation in his ear canals. Now, don't get me wrong, we love a good Ruth's Chris steak and will continue to eat meat. I am just really thankful for this study and this show - it has shifted our perspective, which got us to try new ways of eating, which has been positive for us. Thank you!
