Food & Nutrition: 50 Docs Challenge! Finished 20 of 50!

 



I placed myself on a 50 Documentaries/Films/DVD challenge during my transition to raw foods lifestyle.  I'd say this is an excellent general introduction into:  raw foods and plant-based diets, industrial agriculturepreventative health care and disease reversal (cancer, heart disease, diabetes), nutrition basics, the bio-tech industry, gmos, the conventional medical industry, homeopathy and alternative medicine; options in organic and urban farming, government subsidies, and raw food recipes and lifestyle changes.

One of my career goals is to get certified as a health & nutrition coach and minister.

The time I spent watching the first 20 documentaries equals 32.75 hours of work, which isn't too far from a full-time workweek of increased knowledge.  If I were to equate this with a three-hour college course, which totals 45 hours a semester with a minimum of 90 study hours, I will be in my first quarter.

I'm happy to reach my first benchmark goal.

These videos will inspire you to change your thinking about food, lifestyle choices, the environment, and personal nutrition.  I am happy to sit as a student and complete 40% of my 50 Documentary/DVD/Films challenge.  As a student, I've taken a lot of notes, and have a lot of reviewing to do.  Of course, this has expanded to "100 Docs," which will focus more on nutrition, but 50 is my goal!
