InfoJournalist C.J.Hunt’s global quest for a solution to the obesity epidemic and diet-related disease. It explores modern dietary science, previous historical findings, ancestral native diets and the emerging field of human dietary evolution.Runtime: 90 minIn 1978, at the age of 24, C.J. Hunt suffered a cardiac arrest while jogging. He was told his life would be severely limited due to his heart condition, and that there was a 50% chance he would not live for two more years. This sent him on a journey to find health that ultimately led him around the world. He explored many diets, even writing two books along the way. His most recent project is a documentary film, five years in the making, called “In Search of the Perfect Human Diet,”Determined to Find the Best DietHunt spent many years eating in ways that were commonly touted as being the healthiest way to eat, including following the standard U.S. Dietary Guidelines and trying vegetarian and vegan diets. The film contains some brief footage of these points of view. But Hunt’s journey ultimately led him elsewhere: to the diet of our ancient ancestors. In the film he features many experts in fields of study which focus on the diets of human beings through the ages. He points out that instead of relying on short-term diet studies, we have a natural study with a sample size and length of “human beings through our history.”Participants in the 90-minute film include Loren Cordain, Gary Taubes, Michael Eades M.D., Robb Wolf, Barry Sears, Dr. Lane Sebring, Prof. Jean-Jacques Hublin, Dr. Jay Wortman, Leslie Aiello Ph.D., Andrew Weil, Boyd Eaton, and David Getoff.Website: http://tinyurl.com/lgktbnkIMDb: http://tinyurl.com/m8p8ftyTrailer: http://tinyurl.com/olrusaw
