TED Talks: Chew On This
I've been watching the TED talks on NetFlix - especially the ones on food (Chew On This) - I highly recommend them:
"TED is a conference that takes place all around the world, known for attracting speakers who give thought-provoking, big-picture speeches about a range of subjects. The motto of the conference is, “Ideas Worth Spreading” and talks run anywhere from three minutes to a half hour, hopefully packed with insight. Netflix is aggregating these talks into two and a half hour segments called TEDTalk Shows, and divvying them up into 14 different categories, such as space, beauty, food, and sex."
For example:

Falafel with Lemon Tahini Sauce
Falafel:
2- 15oz can chickpeas
1 – 15 oz can cannelini beans
3 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2-3 large cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Lemon Tahini Sauce:
2 tablespoons tahini paste
zest and juice of 1 lemon
water to thin it out to your liking
Put all of the falafel ingredients in the food processor and blend until smooth. It should be very thick. Then, make it into patties however big you prefer. I make them about the size of 2 teasoons. Bake them on 400 for 20-30 minutes. Watch them during the last 10 minutes. They should dry out and be a bit browned.

Food Matters
Summary:
51% of each meal needs to be raw or the body treats it like it's under attack.
Spirulina is a super food (most soluble complete protein of any food).
Cacao is good, chocolate is bad (most minerals of any foodstuff).
Vitamin supplements didn't exist 100 years ago - we survived since the dawn of man without them, getting them from food.
Less than 6% of US doctors have ever gotten training in nutrition.
Modern drugs are bad for you when taken for any significant period of time.
People need Education not Medication.

Hungry For Change
I watched the free world premiere of Hungry For Change at http://www.hungryforchange.tv/online-premiere.
Summary: Sugar is bad. Sugar Makes you fat. White flour turns into sugar in your blood stream, which gets stored as fat. HFCS is super sugar. It's super bad. Aspartame is bad. Local foods are better than processed foods. Your body will not burn fat until you stop taking toxins in (fat is where your body stores the toxins to protect itself from them). Loving yourself and self-imaging is the key. "I accept myself unconditionally, right now." Ask yourself where does my food come from, what went into it (ethically), what is my intention to do with the food - will it support me?
Eat chia seeds, parsley, and cilantro to detox.
juice: celery and cucumber base with kale/collards
Some movies come across like they are trying to help and advise you. Others, like this one, come across like it's trying to convince you.
