The game changers on Netflix is an amazing documentary on how having a plant based diet is beneficial to being an Athlete.

I strongly believe that becoming vegans (especially ones who are physically active) is the future for humans to have a healthier and more ethical population, and it will be crucial to the survival for many lifeforms on our incredible planet...

So I wanted to like this show, but it is quite problematic. It's well-produced and it was so neat to see these different athletes reveal they are vegans, but it was clearly an ad for their book/products. To be fair? Most kinds of fitness/health productions (especially ones linked with books) are like this. This is a massive issue I have with the fitness/health industry. A lot of it exists—not to help people get better—but to make them feel dependent upon a product or organization. Some someone who worked in the commercial industry as an animator/graphic designer making products to influence people in very unethical (but totally legal) ways, I see this readily.

But I appreciated seeing the different athletes in this who talked about their experiences. If it helps influence people to eating more healthy or ethically—or at least gets them to talk/think about it, it's mostly a positive thing. I'd love to see a documentary like it that was explicitly about vegan athletes and their experiences—minus aggressively pushing an agenda/product—especially with generalized science with holes (IMO, there was a bit on there).
