This is a new doc about a couple of guys who lose a bunch of weight by drinking fresh juice. An Australian in shitty shape decideds to go on a 60 day juice fast while driving across America. He talks about health and tries to convert folks over to juicing.
Half way through the story shifts to a 400+ pound trucker he met and his weight loss attempt.
It's an enjoyable doc that makes me want to break out my juicer that's been collecting dust for a while. (It's a pain to clean.) What I found most disturbing was how many of the fat Americans talk so casually about how they are shortening their lives by overeating.
"Yeah, I'm probably going to die in my mid 40's if I keep eating like this." Wow.
