Planeat! (length: 72 minutes)
 
  Join May’s film watch party! Our Creation Care Team invites you to watch the informative and inspiring documentary film Planeat, alone or with others, at your convenience, anytime from Thursday, May 15th through Sunday, May 18th. Maybe you could even invite others over for a watch party!
 
  The film Planeat will increase our awareness as well as raise some questions about the impact our diet has on personal health and climate change. To help sort through such ponderings, CCT will be leading a zoom discussion on Sunday, May 18th at 7PM.
 
  Why watch and discuss this film? Healthy eating has long been part of health advisories and medical treatment plans. More recently, there is accumulating evidence that food choices have our greatest personal impact on climate change. Even if you already eat a plant-based diet, Planeat provides information and personal narratives for re-energizing and promoting sustainable food choices. For others, this film might sway decisions about menu planning.

About Planeat: Where have we gone wrong? Why has the death rate from heart disease and cancer exploded in recent times? Why are the ice caps melting, the oceans dying and the forests being cut down as we produce the food necessary to support our burgeoning populations? Against a backdrop of colorful and delicious food grown by organic farmers and prepared in the kitchens of world-famous chefs, Planeat for the first time brings together the ground-breaking studies of three prominent scientists who have made it their life’s work to answer these questions: Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, and Professor Gidon Eshel.
