“2 years ago I watched #whatthehealth. It felt like standing in front of Everest at this time to me, with all the changes I haven’t made back then connected to my food behaviors. 2 years and 4 tons of oranges later I watched the movie with understanding and wisdom from the within. I can rely from my own personal experience and totally agree to all the facts guys said in the movie. Everything!” said a third.

Recently, Greggs CEO Roger Whiteside revealed he had ditched meat after being inspired by the vegan documentary.

Speaking at an awards ceremony, he said: “I watched it [The Gamechangers] and thought this is interesting.

“Obviously, there are arguments based around animal welfare and the environment, but this was all about the health benefits, and I thought I should give it a go.”
