Good amount of pop-sci-esque half-truths; includes the classic "uhhh acshually BMI isn't accurate because you could be obese if you're a huge bodybuilder." Yeah, like that applies to most of us.
Anyway, as someone that has spent a good amount of time reading books, listening to podcasts, and perusing the odd paper, you're not gonna learn much with this.

Interesting start for a documentary series, which ended up bouncing from one topic to another a bit too much. I was expecting a full focus on the twins' journey on this experiment and the results.
I was disgusted by the footage from the chicken, cattle and fish farms; especially about the fish, since I had absolutely no idea it was that bad. While I did get some new information personally, I do think (and hope ) that the majority already knows the impact of eating animal-based food. At times, this already well known topic was really dragged on at certain points. I liked the vast amount of vegan dishes shown, as it visualized the versatility you can pull with vegan products today.
The results given were very interesting, but I felt like we only scratched the surface. A real bummer. Still, I think the show impacted me, since now I really want to take another look at what I eat daily.
