Review of Food Matters (2010) by Peter P — 07 Mar 2013
Andrew W. Saul is a unfounded prick. His pandering of the Medical Community is easily debased by any person with minimal knowledge of medicine. The Documentary makes some basic points about our sad state of food consumption, which is definitely a subset of a consumer culture spiraling deeper and deeper into the dark abyss of mind control, but that doesn't mean people like Andrew W. Saul should be given air time. His dualistic "I'm right and everyone else is wrong" solution to the issue is exactly THE issue!!!!!
We can't take 1 single step forward as a common humanity until we respect the ancient tradition of collaborating with each other to create new ways and ideas, and to write off the entire medical community is just dumb. Why not attack our legislature, and the lack of proper regulatory Government bodies on Pharmaceutical Companies? Why not help Doctors actually survive in the increasingly oligarchical fascism of this country. Why not help all types of hard working Americans, who are having an increasingly harder and harder time performing simple, honest jobs as the ruling class (aka Fascist Media/Government/Celebrity) practices mind control and predatory propaganda docs emanate the Anti-Gandhi seeking their piece of the pie.
Yes, quite obviously, Pharmaceutical companies and the powers that be in a large portion of the medical community are purely out to make more money, but that doesn't mean that "all medicine and science is a hoax" and that YOU, THE COMMON DUPED VICTIM OF SOCIETY should take Niacin to make all your problems vanish in a nasally wisp of air reminiscent of Mr. Saul's snarky glibness.
The smartest person on this doc is David Wolfe and he's a raw veg, yoga-guru with a plastic giraffe coddling his backside. More power to him, but lesser followers of the cutesy Buddhist lifestyle branded by him are EXACTLY THE TARGET AUDIENCE of the pile of political propaganda poo and the wellness of their lives are cartoonish at best.
The MARGINALLY SMARTER members of society will gawk and squawk just like the CONTROLLED DUMB MASSES about this doc. Both groups are held in contempt by the wacko talking heads, complete with their Yellow Journalism, transparently divisive and scientifically barren.
There's really no difference between the target audience of Buddha-rubbing white yuppies and the "mindless" masses. Most people, middle-class interest groups included, are people who don't understand the big picture enough to see the difference between this movie and a McDonald's commercial. There is a difference, but it's not much. Sure, the philosophies on display here are about healthy eating, healthy lifestyle and seemingly acquiring knowledge about the truths kept hidden from common society since the dawn of modern medicine, but as the doc goes on, it turns into a blatant lampooning of the medical community, utterly devoid of big picture thinking that was merely eluded to in the opening of the doc.
Great. Fine. The medical community is a joke. Pharmaceutical companies are a joke. Great. Fine. What's so special about that claim? Everything that is mind control is a joke. Including, but not limited to, this sorry excuse for a documentary.
