Product Review: ‘Hungry for Change’ Documentary

Monday, January 28th, 2013

Have you watched Hungry for Change yet?

A few Saturday nights ago, I had nothing better to do than sit in front of Netflix (sad, I know, but let’s stay on topic here). As I flipped through the new releases, a documentary called Hungry for Change caught my eye.

I suppose it was the documentary’s cover image, a happy chick holding a grocery bag full of whole foods wrapped with a measuring tape, that caught my eye.

Because my grocery bags have been looking more and more like that lately (see Can Clean Eating Help Restore Hormonal Balance?), it seemed potentially up my alley.

So, what’s Hungry for Change all about?

Lady Gaga Responds To Weight Gain Criticism, Launches A Body Revolution 2013

WHOA!

So, this week’s earlier Christina Aguilera-inspired post about loving rather than complaining about our bodies was super timely: Lady Gaga has launched a new campaign to do just that!

Following a week of open criticism about the weight she’s gained (by her count, more than 20 pounds), Lady Gaga did what she does best: Bared her soul

On Tuesday, the 26-year-old “Bad Romance” singer posted four pictures of herself to her fan website, littlemonsters.com, wearing only underwear (see left) under the blog title “A Body Revolution 2013″ and with the following captions:

Still from “Your Body” set.

Be honest: Are you more likely to flaunt your toned legs or complain about your huge butt? Show off your flat belly or gripe about your flat chest?

If you chose complain and gripe, you’re probably in the majority. (Of course, this is just my opinion; I haven’t conducted a super scientific survey or anything). Too often, people complain about the body parts they hate the most, instead of enjoying and finding confidence in the body parts they love.

Of course, not everyone focuses on what they believe are the negatives, and one such well-known person is singer and actress Christina Aguilera.
