Brian Sanders - Food Lies The Movie Ep. 124

Brian Sanders has spent the last 4 years creating the movie - Food Lies. In this episode, we discuss why he decided to risk his own money and use crowdfunding to raise the funds to make the movie. Why he was so motivated to get the out message that the nutrition guidelines we've been told for so long are not only wrong but also dangerous. We discuss how finding the diet that suits you best is the one you need to focus on and not what you read in the press. One size does not fit all Why vegetables do not need to be the main part of your diet and loads more....honestly, I probably speak too much during this interview so I apologize!
