So I finally saw this movie.
I loved the 'shark' visual, about being a pleasure seeker. Now when I circle the sugars and simple carbohydrates, I see myself as a shark.
Clearly eating a diet based on very high amounts of meat and dairy, including processed and high fat forms, leads to poor health in most people. I can see how the population health type data supports this. I do not see strong evidence that smaller amounts of quality meat, eggs, and milk (meaning from grass fed, free-range animals) is not a healthy way to eat.
On a personal account, I've had an analysis done on foods that my body is sensitive to. Apparently I'm likely to get an inflammatory response to almonds, eggs, cow's milk, wheat, kidney (and other) beans, and pineapple. I do not react to beef, chicken, or fish. After meeting with Melissa Spooner, a dietician, she reminded me that it's best to combine foods, and have lots of variety. For example, instead of having only soy milk, mix it up with rice milk, hemp milk etc. She also reminded me that we do not all respond to food in the same way. For some of us, it would be very hard to get adequate protein from plant based food alone, especially is that person is intolerant to certain beans, nuts, soy. For many vegetables, the protein content looks reasonably high, but apparently we cannot access all that protein because some of it is not broken down and exits with the fiber. I'm aiming for a diet heavy on the veggies, but one that includes some quality meat and whey protein.
