“Planeat” Food Documentary Encourages Plant-Based Eating (Video)
Written by Vegetarian Star on May 6th, 2011 in Environment-Eco-Green, Film & TV, Food & Drink, Videos.
A new film detailing three men in their quest for the ultimate diet that will save humans and the planet has been created and is currently screening in select locations in the U.S. and the UK.
Planeat follows the journeys of Dr. T Colin Campbell, the author of The China Study, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, and Professor Gidon Eshel as it encourages people to “reduce their meat and dairy consumption, and be inspired by plant-based cuisine.”
The film features interviews with vegan chefs, including Erin McKenna, founder and owner of BabyCakes restaurants in New York and Los Angeles.
Planeat has already received praise from vegetarian celebrity Paul McCartney, who started a Meat-Free Monday campaign in the UK meant to encourage consumers to eat less meat to lessen the impact of its production on the environment.
“Those of us here at Meat-Free Monday fully support the efforts made by the makers of Planet, which we hope will alert to the dangers of some of our current practices,” McCartney said.
While screenings are taking place now, Planeat will also be available for DVD purchase and for download online later in 2011.
Below is a trailer for Planeat. For more information, visit the film’s website.
