I didn't see this movie. But my wife is a registered dietician and she's studied this stuff, the real science of it, and while I don't know what this movie is citing to, but it's pretty inrefuteable that a more plant-based diet is better for your health-wise than a more heavily meat-based diet and that processed foods can be quite harmful to you for various reasons. There's nothing "psuedo" about that.
It's one thing to acknowledge this, like Jon, me and many others I would suspect, and choose to continue to eat what they want for whatever reason, but it's quite another to claim it's not true.
Also, I don't see why deciding to be a vegan for health reasons (or whatever other reasons) is "not good"?
