This Vegan Documentary is a Bait and Switch

What I liked: I like the concept of 'bringing the viewer along with the science.' I agree with the fact that the SAD eating pattern is problematic and that it would be an improvement to eat a whole food-based diet. I also (very much) acknowledge there are non-health related issues about food that we should have adult discussions about.What I didn't like: (1) This series wasn't really about the twin study. Data were only presented, a bit, in the last of the 4 episodes. (2) The advertised foods (fake meat, fake cheese, fake eggs) are cast as similar/identical, but simply aren't, nor were they the basis of the participant's diets.(3) The data presented were, I think, not all that impressive. And some data presented in the documentary could not be found in the paper, e.g. body composition.For more on the topic of Data Misrepresentation, see our new paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002231662372806X?via%3Dihub Learn more about your ad choices.
