'You Are What You Eat' is a 1968 American counterculture semi-documentary movie that attempts to capture the essence of the 1960s flower power hippie era and the Haight-Ashbury scene. The film features locally known personalities, including well known and somewhat mythical pot dealer Super Spade (Bill Powell Jr) and musicians of the day, including Tiny Tim, David Crosby and Peter Yarrow, and radio disc jockey, Rosko.

The film soundtrack features music by John Simon and by artists as diverse as Paul Butterfield, The Electric Flag, Eleanor Barooshian, Peter Yarrow, John Herald and Harpers Bizarre, accompanied by several members of The Band.[http://www.thevideobeat.com/beatnik-hippie-drug-movies/you-are-what-you-eat-1968.html The Video Beat (website), accessed 12 July 2012]

The film was preserved and restored by Ed Carter at the archive of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.
