A Bold New Documentary Uncovers the Truth About Meat, Nutrition, and Health
The all new documentary Animal, written and directed by Josh Feldman, is poised to shake the foundations of conventional nutritional thinking. With a compelling narrative backed by powerful interviews, historical investigation, and cutting-edge science, Animal explores how modern society has been misled about meat, health, and the diet that once sustained human evolution.
Our team at Generation Iron was able to sit down with Feldman to get his thoughts.
Unmasking a Century of Misinformation
Animal dives deep into a century-long web of political, economic, and religious influences that, according to the film, have systematically vilified meat and pushed populations toward processed foods and pharmaceutical dependence. The film argues that this shift away from ancestral eating patterns has resulted in widespread chronic illness, obesity, and a loss of connection to nature’s most nutrient-dense foods.
Through gripping interviews and unapologetic insights, Animal dares to question mainstream health narratives and reintroduce the primal importance of animal-based nutrition.
A Cast of Controversial and Influential Voices
The film brings together a formidable cast of medical professionals, nutritionists, and influencers who are leaders in the Carnivore and ancestral diet movement, including:
- Dr. Anthony Chaffee
- Dr. Ken Berry
- Dr. Shawn Baker
- Eddie Abbew
- Steak and Butter Gal
- Dr. Eric Berg
- Judy Cho
- Dr. Robert Cywes
- Dr. Robert Kiltz
- Sally Norton
- Dr. Lisa Wiedeman
- Dr. Cate Shanahan
- Zane Griggs
Their perspectives challenge mainstream dietary guidelines and promote the healing power of meat-centric nutrition, with many discussing their own transformations and clinical experiences.
Behind the Camera: The Vision of Josh Feldman
Josh Feldman serves not only as the director and writer but also as one of the producers, alongside Vinny Lingham and Kevin Carter. Lingham, who also serves as executive producer, brings business and media experience to help deliver this disruptive message to a wide audience.
In a recent exclusive interview with Generation Iron, Feldman revealed his deep personal interest in the Carnivore diet. He discussed how this way of eating—centered around animal products and the exclusion of most plant-based foods—has changed his life and inspired the film.
Feldman shared that his own health journey led him to become disillusioned with processed food culture and seek out whole food sources, particularly from animal products. His passion for truth and transparency in nutrition shines through in the film’s tone, which is both investigative and deeply personal.
What Is the Carnivore Diet?
The Carnivore diet is a highly restrictive way of eating that focuses on consuming only animal products—meat, fish, eggs, and in some versions, dairy. It eliminates all plant-based foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes. Advocates claim it can help treat autoimmune issues, inflammation, obesity, and other chronic conditions by eliminating anti-nutrients and allergens found in plants.
Critics of the diet argue that it lacks essential vitamins and fiber, but Animal presents a starkly different viewpoint—one that encourages viewers to reconsider everything they’ve been taught about diet and disease.
A Movement Gaining Momentum
With growing communities around ancestral eating, carnivore nutrition, and anti-processed food advocacy, Animal is launching at a time of increasing public distrust in Big Food and Big Pharma. Its release is likely to stir debate, provoke thought, and empower those seeking a radical yet biologically grounded approach to health.
Animal has debuted as chart-topping documentary title on Apple TV, it promises not only to entertain and inform but also to ignite a cultural conversation about the food we eat and the forces that shape our choices.
