Low carb, paleo, vegan, or Atkins? It is hardly surprising that author and filmmaker, Michal Siewierski, found himself to be overwhelmed by the variety of conflicting opinions in existence when it comes to diet and nutrition.

What is the best diet for the human species, and how does the food on our plates impact our environment? It is precisely these questions that he seeks to answer in his 2016 documentary, Food Choices. Through interviewing a variety of experts in the fields of diet and nutrition, such as Dr. John A. McDougall, Dr. Pamela A. Popper, and Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Siewierski seeks to debunk common myths when it comes to what we should be putting on our plates, exposing how various industries are profiting from fad diets and the proliferation of false information in the media.

The viewer accompanies Siewierski in his journey toward achieving a more comprehensive understanding of how the contents of our shopping trolley impact upon our health, wellbeing, and the future of our planet. Presenting the information in a way that is easy for its audience to understand and digest, Food Choices seeks to grasp its viewer by the shoulders and shake them from their daydream. It is a warning that unless we change our dietary habits soon, the future of our species, and our planet, may be seriously at risk.
