But only the healthy forms, such as Grass fed beef and lamb, pastured poultry and eggs etc.

Whether its convincing to skeptics, I'm not sure. I can personally attest to the ease in which overall health is achieved when going back to a diet composed of real foods like grass fed meats, seafood, organic veggies, nuts, tubers, etc. But I still find it humorous that there would be pushback against a movement like this to get us eating as closely to the original diet of real whole foods that made us human in the first place. Our genome is unchanged and still has the expectation of certain nutrient requirements and environmental pressures to thrive. But I suppose there are many interests in protecting the status quo for large populations to consume diets mainly of empty carbohydrates – calories that provide quick energy to make it through another day, but long term getting ourselves as a species sick, suboptimal in how we look, feel and perform, as we starve the brain and transform our gut bacteria for the worst.

The only shortcoming of this film is it does not stress the importance of seafood and shellfish nearly enough. Name any nutritional deficiency the general population is currently lacking – zinc, iodine, DHA, mg, iron, copper… and fish and shellfish provide these things in abundance, far more than any other food on the planet. It explains the success of the Mediterranean diet, the "French paradox", the historically chronicled superior health and vitality of the Inuit (prior to their adopting Western diet and lifestyle), and so on.
