00:00Hey nationally curly world, I'm Evelyn. Welcome to another episode of Watch and Go,
00:05the series where we review things that we watched while we do our wash and goes.
00:09For the month of August and a little bit of September, our watch and goes will be featuring
00:14brands that are participating in our annual texture on the runway hair and fashion show
00:20happening this September in New York during New York Fashion Week.
00:23So today I'm going to use Shea Moisture to do my wash and go while I review the documentary
00:31What the Health.
00:32These companies really have a vested interest in making sure that the public doesn't have
00:36information about their effects.
00:37Any little thing that comes up, man, they beat it to death.
00:40They are trying to silence people into not speaking out and not showing the truth.
00:45If that's where you want to go with this, I'm sorry, I'm not the person that you should be
00:48talking to.
00:49The European Association of Stive.
00:52So I'm going to start off by washing my hair, actually.
00:58My hair is pretty stretched, so I'm not going to detangle it first, you know, like you've
01:01been accustomed to seeing me do.
01:03I'm going to shampoo my hair with the Kukui Nut in Grape Seed Oils Damage Rehab Shampoo.
01:11So I just washed my hair.
01:13It's feeling very soft and moisturized.
01:16Now I'm going to use the Shea Moisture Damage Rehab Conditioner.
01:21So What the Health is a documentary about food and nutrition and health.
01:28It's agenda, because all documentaries do have like an agenda.
01:32It's agenda is to tell you that you should go vegan or you should eat a plant-based diet,
01:38which to me, vegan and plant-based aren't the same thing.
01:42But I think the creator of the documentary wanted people to go vegan.
01:47There were some major issues that I had with it.
01:52I do think that in general, we eat way more meat than we need to.
01:58I don't think anybody needs to be eating a meat-based diet.
02:02Like, I think we can all agree that we should be eating lots of vegetables and stuff.
02:09And I think we all already know.
02:11Well, I would hope we all already know that if you buy meat that's like mass-produced,
02:17that it's going to be crappy.
02:19But for me, growing up, like my mom gets meat from the halal place.
02:23You know what I'm saying?
02:24Like, she's not buying like the ground beef that comes in that like Tootsie Roll looking package.
02:30Like that just tube of meat.
02:31So seeing the atrocities of like, of how we treat animals, I knew that already.
02:38You know what I'm saying?
02:39If you didn't know that your 99-cent chicken breast was not what you thought,
02:44then I don't know what to tell you.
02:45So he starts off the documentary with the revelation that sugar doesn't cause diabetes, fat does.
02:54And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
02:56I'm going to need a lot more than like two other doctors saying that it's fat, not sugar
03:03for me to believe that it's fat, not sugar.
03:05So I looked it up.
03:06He cited the World Health Organization.
03:08And the World Health Organization, literally on their FAQs, was like,
03:12that's not what that data point means.
03:15It means the amount of research we have is the same.
03:18So like we have the same amount of research saying baloney is cancer-causing
03:23as the amount of research we have saying cigarettes cause cancer.
03:26That is a more honest statement than what he was saying.
03:30He was showing kids eating cigars.
03:32So the main crux of what the health was the documentary maker and his quest to go to all
03:42like the Heart Association, the American Cancer Association, going to all these prominent disease
03:49organizations and confronting them about the knowledge that these two or three other doctors gave him.
03:57And so he would call, I don't know if he's calling the 1-800 customer service number.
04:02I don't know what numbers he's calling, but he would call and be like,
04:05hello, can you tell me why you're recommending sausage when everybody knows sausage causes cancer?
04:10And the person on the phone is like, what?
04:13And I understand like, oh, he doesn't, he probably doesn't have access to the person he should be talking to.
04:19But don't use that person's inability to answer you as proof of, you know, the organization hiding something.
04:27My biggest gripe with what the health.
04:29So what the health is trying to tell people about all the horrible things that happen in the meat industry
04:33and all the bad things that meat does to your body.
04:36Henceforth, you should eat plants.
04:39But what he never does is talk about the human cost of all of us just eating plants.
04:45Who do you think picks your greens?
04:47Who picks your strawberries and makes it so that you have strawberries in January?
04:52You know what I'm saying?
04:52Like, you can't tell people to like eat quinoa without talking about where does quinoa come from?
04:59Can that location sustain us eating all that quinoa?
05:03Like, you know what I'm saying?
05:04So if you're so gung-ho about like rights, you should also be gung-ho about like, you know,
05:10migrant workers and henceforth immigration laws and you know what I'm saying?
05:14And sustainability.
05:15All right, so I am done detangling.
05:17So I'm going to go rinse my hair, style it, and I'll be back.
05:26All right.
05:26All right.
05:28I'm back.
05:31I rinsed the conditioner out and I used as my leave-in on soaking wet hair the Shea Moisture
05:37Raw Shea Butter Extra Moisture Detangler.
05:40Then, on top is my styler, straight from my shower, so I use this regularly, the Shea Moisture
05:48Saatcha Inchi Oil.
05:50I'm going to blow dry my hair so that it stands up instead of like this and I'll be back with
05:54my final review.
05:55All right, so my hair is as dry as it's going to be for right now.
06:02My roots is still wet and it's a little floppy in some areas, but we're good for now.
06:08I give, what the hell, a two out of five.
06:11You can make a documentary out of like Googling things and then rolling up on the receptionist.
06:16I came in knowing that people didn't really like the documentary or that people were like,
06:22oh my god, I'm going to go vegan now.
06:24I'm not going to go vegan.
06:26I do try to stay away from processed meats and I do try to eat a plant-based diet, but
06:31at the end of the day, sometimes you just got to go to Waffle House and what you going
06:34to do?
06:35Comment below, let me know what you thought of this documentary, what the hell, did you
06:40like it?
06:41Are you vegan now?
06:42Are you still alive or are you just on that Oreos are technically vegan diet?
06:47Let me know.
06:48If you're vegan before this documentary came out and you just want people to get on the
06:52vegan train, give us some tips, give us some recipes, hopefully some flavorful ones.
06:58I'm willing to eat more plants, you know what I'm saying?
07:01I'm just also concerned about the cost associated with that, the human cost associated with that.
07:09So that's my watch and go, hopefully you enjoyed it.
07:12Give this video a like, share it, and subscribe.
07:15We post watch and goes every Wednesday, so we'll see you next week.
07:19Bye.
