Hungry for Change is a thought-provoking documentary produced by James Colquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch that delves into the implications of a modern diet. Using pathos, facts, figures and associations, Hungry for Change delivers a meritorious performance that engages viewers and leaves them questioning their diet and lifestyle choices. The film's use of rhetorical and advertising strategies and its ability to captivate viewers make it an effective, life-changing documentary. As obesity and diet-related medical problems become a larger problem within society, it is imperative to educate humans on the importance of maintaining a healthy diet. This is exactly what Hungry for Change does. One of the key points made in the documentary is that humans no longer eat a natural diet like their ancestors did; When humans began to inhabit the Earth, they lived on a diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, grains and meat. During these times, famine and disease were rampant, so humans adapted to store nutrition more productively. Now that humans live in a more developed society, they have a (virtually) unlimited supply of food. However, much of this food is processed and manipulated for better flavor and longer shelf life, and while this seems like a positive situation, it has become a big problem. According to Dr. Christine Northrup, best-selling author on women's health, “we have lived on Earth for a millennium at a time when there was a shortage of food. You are programmed to gain weight whenever there is food available. There's a lot of food available now, but it's the wrong kind." (Northrup, as cited in Colquhoun et al., 2012). This is a logical and widely accepted theory as to why humans continue to binge on foods despite...... middle of paper ......The use of pathos, facts and figures, and association persuades and motivates audiences of all ages to change their lifestyle habits and demonstrate that Hungry for Change is an effective and inspiring documentary.
