Forks Over Knives

I saw this documentary last night at the Village 8 for $3 with my friends Shelley and Russel Hulsey.  Thanks to them for making me aware of it!!!!

Here's a link to the film's website: http://forksoverknives.com/

EVERYBODY IN AMERICA SHOULD SEE THIS FILM!

I didn't realize how much CANCER is tied to animal protein consumption. 

Here's the synopsis from the website:

FORKS OVER KNIVES examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the so-called “diseases of affluence” that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods. The major storyline in the film traces the personal journeys of a pair of pioneering yet under-appreciated researchers, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn.

So the documentary focuses on how nutrition can reverse:

• Heart Disease
• Diabetes
• Cancer
• Osteoperosis

The documentary follows the filmmaker as a patient himself.  He is working with an MD to convert to a plant-based diet. By the end of the film, they present his bloodwork numbers (which are astonishing) and weight loss (20 lbs). 

The film follows several people in addition to him with a variety of common health problems affecting people who consume a typical western diet.  The graphics are pretty good, and they present a lot of research and data to back up their claims.

Everyone should see this film.
