Hungry for Change

As you are probably well aware at this point, I have developed an unhealthy obsession with documentaries. I have at least ten queued up, just waiting for me to watch. However, my most recent screening was of Hungry For Change
and it might have changed my life completely.

Basically, the film is comprised of a number of experts-in health, dieting, nutrition, whatever- discussing the state of nutrition. Then, they basically say the best way to a healthy body is feeding it full, whole unprocessed foods. Their recap of the chemicals and processing of so many common and popular foods was horrifying. Food today is actually manufactured to make up want more and nothing less. Foods that are manufactured have little to no nutrition and that really struck me.

After these experts horrified me with the state of the food industry they offered their solution: real food. Our body is programmed to know what to do with whole vegetables and real fats. Of we eat that our bodies will shine from the inside out.

Finally, these experts emphasized the value in loving ourselves. If we do not love and accept who we are right now we will never change. If we don't deal with what's eating us from the inside out, we will never gain control of our health.

The whole concept of the film really changed how I think. I've always been pretty health conscious, but it showed me I've been going about it all wrong. There is so need to be restrictive. Just eating the foods my body is built to digest and loving myself will help me be healthier and happier, and my body will continue asking for more good food.

I really enjoyed this film and I learned so much. I actually want to watch it a few more times, just to fully understand the methods and practices they advocate.

This film changed me. Now I too am hungry for change.
