If the folks at Cafe Gratitude are an example of what this lifestyle does for a person, count me in!
Remarkable !! Both as an 'experiment' in human transformtion,.. and that these non-filmmakers could come up with such a great film about it !
This is an important film. Many people in this society go through life eating food with questionable value, drinking alcohol instead of water (and sometimes drugging) without ever giving our bodies a chance at something better... not mentioning the expense to our happiness.
Loved this documentary and the people from the Cafe Gratitude who introduced Frank to a new way of looking at food and life.
