Your Diet Sucks Your Nutrition Documentary Sucks.
This week on Your Diet Sucks, Kylee and Zoë take a hard look at health documentaries, specifically the cult classic Game Changers—aka, the boner experiment film—and other nutrition flicks that have people rethinking their entire diet for about a week. They break down why these documentaries always go full fear-mongering mode, how they cherry-pick studies to push an agenda, why they obsess over masculinity and strength, the biggest nutrition myths they keep pushing, and how to actually fact-check food and health claims so you don’t get duped.
Plus, Zoë does what she does best: fact-check their questionable science in real-time, rage-Google studies, and ask the real questions—like, who decided we needed a documentary about penis blood flow?
Hit play, grab your popcorn (or, I don’t know, a block of cheese like we did), and let’s get into it.
