Idokhumentari ethi What the Health ikhiqizwa yiqembu elifanayo ngemuva kwe-Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret. Ababhali babheka imithelela yezemvelo embonini yemfuyo, bahlole ukuxhumana phakathi kokudla kanye nezifo, bese umqondisi u-Kip Andersen ebuza ukuthi inyama egayiwe yimbi yini njengokubhema. Umdlavuza, i-cholesterol, isifo senhliziyo, ukukhuluphala ngokweqile, isifo sikashukela - kuyo yonke ifilimu, ithimba lihlola ukuthi ukudla okusekelwe ezilwaneni kungaxhunyaniswa kanjani nezinkinga zempilo ezimbi nezidumile.
Yebo, njengoba abaningi bethu bezama ukudla izithelo, imifino, nokusanhlamvu okwengeziwe, sesikunaka kakhulu ukudla okugayiwe njengenyama ebomvu, ubisi namaqanda. Kodwa-ke, ngokusho kwabahleli bewebhusayithi ye-Vox, kule filimu, izinkomba zokudla nezifo ezithile zivame ukusetshenziswa ngaphandle komongo, futhi imiphumela yocwaningo luka-Andersen ngezinye izikhathi yethulwa ngezindlela ezingadida ababukeli. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ezinye izitatimende zinokhahlo futhi ngezinye izikhathi azilona iqiniso.
Isibonelo, u-Andersen uthi iqanda elilodwa lilingana nokubhema ugwayi oyisihlanu, futhi ukudla inyama nsuku zonke kwandisa ingozi yomdlavuza wesikhumba ngo-18%. Ngokusho kwe-WHO, kumuntu ngamunye lesi sibalo singama-5%, kanti ukudla inyama kukhuphuka ngeyunithi eyodwa.
“Ingozi yokuphila komuntu yokuba nomdlavuza wesikhumba icishe ibe amaphesenti amahlanu, futhi ukudla inyama nsuku zonke kungandisa lelo nani ngamaphesenti ayisithupha,” kubhala umlobeli weVox uJulia Belutz. Ngakho, ukujabulela isiqeshana sikabhekeni noma isemishi le-salami ngeke kwandise ingozi yesifo, kodwa ukudla inyama nsuku zonke kungayandisa ngephesenti elilodwa.”
Kuyo yonke i-documentary, u-Andersen uphinde abuze imikhuba yokuhola izinhlangano zezempilo. Kwenye inhlolokhono, usosayensi omkhulu we-American Diabetes Association kanye nesikhulu sezokwelapha uyenqaba ukuphenya ngezimbangela ezithile zokudla zesifo sikashukela ngenxa yezinkinga zokudla okunomsoco okuthiwa wakhuluma ngazo ngaphambili. Cishe bonke ochwepheshe bezokwelapha okukhulunywe nabo kule filimu bangama-vegans. Abanye babo bashicilele izincwadi futhi benza ukudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni.
Ama-movie afana nokuthi What the Health akwenza ungacabangi ngokudla kwakho kuphela, kodwa futhi nangobudlelwano phakathi kwemboni yokudla nokunakekelwa kwezempilo. Kodwa kubalulekile ukugcina ukulinganisela engqondweni. Nakuba ulwazi lwangemuva kufilimu lungelona amanga, luhlanekezela iqiniso ezindaweni futhi lungadukisa. Nakuba inhloso yefilimu kuwukwenza abantu bacabange ngalokho abakudlayo, isalethwa kanzima kakhulu.
