Movie Night in Sea Cliff: What the Health
Details
Join Plant Powered Metro New York for a home-hosted gathering and community screening of What the Health.
This investigative documentary explores the connections among diet, chronic disease, and the influence of major industries on public health. Following filmmaker Kip Andersen, the film examines why leading health organizations may be overlooking the role of animal-based and processed foods in conditions such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Featuring insights from physicians, researchers, and consumer advocates, What the Health invites viewers to consider how food choices, industry interests, and a plant-powered diet can shape personal and public health.
After the film, we’ll open the floor for a group discussion to share reflections and takeaways.
Guests are invited to bring a light snack to share as we mix and mingle before the screening. In the spirit of the film, bring a dish made only with whole plant foods — whole grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Please, no animal-based foods, vegan processed foods, white flours, or added oils, and we ask you to minimize added sweeteners and salt.
