A common thread in the documentary proclaims the benefits of a 90-98% plant-based diet , supposedly used in some areas of the world that have larger than normal populations of older humans: beacons of longevity!But what if I told you that the roots of the plant-based movement trace back to the Seventh Day Adventist Church and a certain breakfast cereal?
