I recently saw one called "What the health" and "in defence of food" (better) about how USDA is in bed with The meat, egg, sugar and pharma industry and how their guidlines are just plain wrong if not harmful.

I've been reading about this lots and lots to the effect that I've reduced my non veg intake to once a week and yes my health has improved a lot since too. But ymmv and it's definitely worth a watch even if you don't agree to hear their viewpoints.

The Fog of War https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317910/

Robert McNamara gives his accounts of WWII and Vietnam wars.

He was a senior member of the White House administrations and saw a lot.

I'd recommend "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" on Netflix. It's a really interesting look into the mind of someone seeking perfection and mastery of their craft.
