Part 10 - Unifying Theory of Nutrition Conclusion

You may be wondering what happened to that plant based couple I talked to in episode 1… well they haven't withered away from their poor diet just yet. Just joking it isn't too bad and they seem to be pretty savvy with not eating a lot of the plant-based trash. You'll also notice they started eating sardines in this episode, so they should be getting a great boost of nutrition there to keep their bodies in tact. It took us a while to find a time to record again but we finally got a chance to finish up the conversation and get into the environmental aspects as well. I'll have some more guests talking about this side of things very soon.

So now this is the time when on other podcasts you'd be hearing annoying ads for products you don't care about. Luckily, I've chosen to not try to make any money off this podcast even though it's taken hundreds of hours of work. If you're listening, you probably really care about this topic or are interested to learn more. If you're getting any value from this podcast, please show your support by contributing to the film. It's called Food Lies and is crowdfunding now on http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post
