GO SEE IT. Seriously, it's in my new top 5 for documentaries. I saw it at Varsity Theater here in Seattle and it was amazing. And I came in with a pretty solid hard-on (teehee) for meat, walked out quite a bit more ambivalent. I expected it to be really preachy and vague with science, but it was actually incredibly detailed, and detailed all of the studies involved in coming to the conclusions they did. The "China Study" was particularly amazing.. they studied like 20,000 Chinese people to draw some of these correlations between disease (liver cancer, CHD, prostrate cancer) and ratio of animal products to vegetable and whole grain products in their diets, over like a dozen years.
