Learn WHY top health organizations don't want people to know!!!
About this Event
What the Health exposes the collusion and corruption in government and big business that is costing us trillions of healthcare dollars, and keeping us sick. What The Health is a surprising, and at times hilarious, investigative documentary that will be an eye-opener for everyone concerned about our nation’s health and how big business influences it.
“One of the best-kept secrets in all of health care — understood by few doctors — is that the peer reviewers, medical journal editors, and guideline writers, who are assumed to be performing due diligence to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the data reported from company-sponsored studies, do not have access to the real data from these trials. The published reports that doctors accept as fully vetted scientific evidence can be more accurately described as unverified data summaries prepared largely by or for the sponsoring drug companies.”
― John Abramson, and How We Can Repair It (2022)

What The Health is a compelling documentary. It examines the link between diet and disease, and the BILLIONS of dollars at stake in the healthcare, pharmaceutical, and food industries.
FILM SYNOPSIS
Advertised as "The Health Film That Health Organizations Don't Want You To See", the film follows Kip Andersen as he interviews physicians and other individuals on diet and health topics. Andersen is also shown attempting to contact representatives of various health organizations, but comes away dissatisfied with their responses. Through other interviews he examines the alleged connection between the meat, dairy, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as various health organizations. The synopsis is that serious health problems are a consequence of consuming meat and dairy products, and that a conspiracy exists to cover this up.
You don't need to be vegan to attend, just someone who enJOYs eating more plants!
Check out the What The Health trailer.

How do I GET STARTED with a plant-based diet?
While most people think eating better is simply a matter of willpower, the reality is that being PREPARED (make whole food plant based recipes) and SUPPORTED (join a whole food plant based group and meet new friends) is much more important.
Take classes, watch documentaries, enjoy potlucks, learn from plant-based leaders, share meals with more plant-based friends.
___________________________
Note: The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (pcrm.org/about-us) has designed a FREE app (21 Day Vegan Kickstart) to give us all easy access (if it's on your phone, you can refer to it whenever, wherever) to great plant-based eats. These recipes can be enjoyed and shared with others who might like to add a plant based recipe to their repertoire, and have plant-focused gatherings like potlucks, social gatherings, or reunions to give others more opportunities to relish flavorful plant dishes that are good for us, for animal rights, and for the health of the planet as well. Peace is every bite
