He is most known for his documentary Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead in which he tells the story of his 60-day juice fast. Joe’s problem is that he’s 100 pounds overweight.

It inspired me because an overweight man a really overweight man lost about 100
Obesity and opposition are the two main issues of this film. The issue of obesity, treated lightly in the beginning of the film and then severely by the end, reflects society’s approach to weight loss. To ...
This movie enlightened me because in learning the different ethicists. I was able to see how a care ethicist and virtue theorist acts. It was a very emotional movie. This showed me the different medical plans they have available. What do their plans offer to me; if I am ever put in situation like John Q.? I have to know what medical plan I have to have; God forbid anything every happened to me or my family we can be covered.
Not once in the film did they distinguish between bad calories and good calories. In fact during the film they talked about how if you take in so many calories, you need to burn almost all of those off. This would be ideal if you were eating all junk food, but what if we thought in a responsible manner and ate the same amount of calories in healthy foods? The film generalizes all calories and basically ignores the personal responsibility of
The two films "Let The Right One In" and "Let Me In" are both based on the same novel and made only two years apart. However, the "original" Swedish-based film "Let The Right One In" is in my opinion, and many critics also agree, is better than the "Americanized" remake "Let Me In" for various reasons. Beth Accomando summarizes the views best when she wrote, "anything good in the remake comes directly from the original" and I would add onto that the remake is not only just following the original but loses some qualities as well making it worse off.
on a train. The music is very sad and depressing; it is slow and is
The film enlightened me about many topics concerning the production of food. Although I would prefer not to view many of the graphic animal scenes I believe that they are necessary to present the arguments. I was also surprised to see the connections between so many political figures and the major corporations. I do not think that my eating habits will change, but I do think that I will give more thought to something before I eat it.
The consequences of obesity are clear: various metabolic problems, high cholesterol, insulin resistance and high blood pressure. Risk of heart diseases more as we gain more fat. Sleep apnea can also result, as well as joint problems. Obesity is not only a result of lack of exercise, but of the kind of food people consume. The film “Fed Up” does not address whether “real food” as solution to this endemic is feasible, assumes that people have the time, money and energy to control their health by buying, preparing and cooking real food, and leaves the audience wondering whether their laziness that prevents them from investing time, energy and money to cook and consume slow food at home. However, health is not just a personal battle left to individuals; the food industry and the government should take more part in conscienscious research and education to provide truly healthy choices at reasonable
The movie teaches us to look beyond the cover and into who someone is as a person. We also learn that sometimes contact with people makes us reconsider our judgement towards them, to find out the real person underneath.
...e has a very sensitive and personable narrative throughout the book that transcends to showing how caring of a person she is. That aspect, who the writer is, is very important to me especially when discussing such important topics that needs to be coming from someone I trust and believe in. Since food and eating habits is something that every human all has in common it is a very good book that is able to affect anyone on a personal level. For me it has drawn an even further connection to the things I have learned in this course. My family has always been health conscious because my mother has been having health problems for 20 years so the importance of health and exercise is something that I have been raised with. With textual evidence the class and this book has presented to me I am very confident in my health habits and choices today and for the rest of my life.
I was able to see patients and how they were being documented on their success stories. I found it to be inspirational and motivational. I am overweight and I am working out and trying to eat better, however, I am not in optimal shape as of yet. Watching this film has definitely inspired me and I tend to start making changes so that I can get into the best shape of my life. Forks Over Knives is a film that can be controlled or even reversed, by simply giving up processed and animal-based foods. This is what happened to one of the patients in the film. SanDera Nation was one of the patients in this film. She was a mother working at a hospital. Her diet consisted of heavy cafeteria meals and fast food. She eventually had high blood pressure and had been diagnosed with diabetes. She then went on a strictly plant based diet, and in a few weeks she had lost a great amount of weight, lowered her blood pressure, and reversed her diabetes. With that being said, I know that eating well and putting forth the effort to making changes can indeed make a lot of things better for anyone's health. Some may think that although meat and diary may not be the best for one's health, it's a way to enjoy them in smaller quantities, however, we
Slaughterhouse Five is the story of Billy Pilgrim who has become “unstuck in time.” He travels back and forth being able to see his birth, death, and all the years between his birth and death. During the times he travels back and forth they either happen repeatedly or out of order. A major theme in Slaughterhouse-Five would be War and Death. In the beginning of the story, Billy Pilgrim talks about the bombing of Dresden, which it killed almost 100,000 Germans. Some parts of the story are based on Vonnegut experiences. Vonnegut survived a war which it could lead to having some kind of lasting effect on him. In chapter one Billy or Vonnegut, goes to Dresden again with his old friend Bernard O'Hare. Where he meets his wife and sensed
I chose to view the weight of the nation clip on “ Children in Crisis”. I personally choose this clip because I have an older sister who was overweight as a child and struggle with her weight as a teenagers and young adult. The target audience for the clip is parents and educators. The documentary gives useful information on how, who and why child obesity occurs in the United States. Even though I am not a parent. I found all of the information addressed in the film to be helpful in understanding obesity and the problems related to obesity . It was useful to see that the creators interviewed parents and children to get their opinions on health related issue. Ellen, a mother in the film addressed the issue of not even knowing what it is the schools are servicing to their students. She stated that it is the school responsible to make sure that nutrients needs are being meet. I remember eating lunch at school and not knowing what some of item where because I was brought up eating a heal...
The emotional feel or atmosphere created by the documentary was just trying to help. You could tell that they want to help people and make sure they are all healthy and can live the right lifestyle. While watching this film I encountered many things I found questionable. I found three claims to be bias/ controversial in this documentary: it uses correlation as causation, they claim someone having health issues can be solved by cutting meat out of their diet, and lastly they only use one study to prove their method, and it is the one that one of the main people in the movie made.
The disorder I pick to do my paper on is bulimia nervosa. In the text book it describes bulimia nervosa as an invisible eating disorder because patients are of normal weight or overweight. It is explain as recurrent episodes of binge eating and inappropriate compensatory behavior. Binge eating is when a person over eats in a short period of time then most people would.

Then there is objective binge eating which is describe as eating comparatively large amount of food thats out of control. The pattern of binge eating various it can range from occasionally to a few times a week to 20 or 30 times per day. Once per week for 3 months is a
Not only does this movie deal with the issues of society, but it points to biblical scriptures that help lead us in the right direction. The biggest lesson that this film taught me was that if I put my complete faith in God, then no matter what happens, he will provide, watch over, and take care of me. I learned that expressing belief in God is not enough. I have to live everyday believing and trusting him and I have to show my trust and faith through my actions and my words.
