I’m working on a nutrition multi-part question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

The Game Changers is a 2018 documentary film about the benefits of plant-based eating for athletes. It covers multiple success stories of plant-based athletes, references scientific studies, and touches on other arguments for plant-based diets that extend to non-athletes.

Please watch the documentary and then answer the questions below.  Your write-up should be around 500 words (400 -600 words).

Game Changers Documentary (Links to an external site.)

1. According to Dr. James Loomis in the film and according to scientific research, where does most energy for exercise come from? (Which macronutrient?)  What happens to athletes when they don’t have enough of this macronutrient?

2. After watching this film, do you believe athletes can get sufficient protein from plant-based sources to perform at their highest levels?  Why or why not?  

3. Is plant-based protein inferior to meat-based proteins?  Why or why not?  

4. Give two examples from the film of the benefits of a vegan lifestyle?  (One should be an athlete and the other a non-athlete.)

5.  How does animal agriculture negatively affect the environment? 

6.  The film discusses how the tobacco industry promoted the idea that smoking was “healthy”.  How are the meat, egg, and dairy industry doing the same thing? 

7.  List 5 “vegan” sources of protein. How many of these do you eat and how often do you eat them?
