What the Health

A 2017 American documentary film directed by Kip Andersen and Keegan Kuhn, examines the impact of meat, dairy, and egg consumption on human health, and questions the practices of leading health and pharmaceutical organizations. The film follows Kip Andersen as he interviews physicians and other experts on diet and health topics, and attempts to contact representatives of various health organizations, expressing dissatisfaction with their responses. Through these interviews, he explores the alleged connections between the meat, dairy, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as various health organizations. The film posits that serious health issues are a consequence of consuming meat and dairy products, and suggests a conspiracy exists to conceal this information. "What the Health" was funded via an Indiegogo campaign in March 2016, raising over $235,000, and was released globally on Vimeo on March 16, 2017. The film received mixed reviews: some medical professionals and journalists criticized it for scientific inaccuracies and bias, while others praised it for raising awareness about health and nutrition issues.
