Forks Over Knives - Official Trailer -

I just had a chance to see Forks Over Knives! Take the time to see this movie and bring your kids if they are old enough! It may save your life and may make your kids make some healthier choices, even if they don't go vegan 100%. The movie promotes a vegan diet for optimum health and shows data that indicates that the Western high protein diet is largely to blame for heart decease, diabetes, and cancer; stating "we can turn cancer on and off purely by what we eat." Would it be hard for you to give up milk products and meat? Harder than triple bypass surgery or cancer treatment?  If you watch the movie... check back and let me know what you think. I have gone back from Paleo (Paleo diet consists of meat, fish eggs, nuts, seeds vegetables, fruit) to Vegan a few times... Which one do you think is healthier? Did the movie change your point of view?

SYNOPSIS: What has happened to us? Despite the most advanced medical technology in the world, we are sicker than ever by nearly every measure.

Two out of every three of us are overweight. Cases of diabetes are exploding, especially amongst our younger population. About half of us are taking at least one prescription drug. Major medical operations have become routine, helping to drive health care costs to astronomical levels. Heart disease, cancer and stroke are the country’s three leading causes of death, even though billions are spent each year to “battle” these very conditions. Millions suffer from a host of other degenerative diseases.

Could it be there’s a single solution to all of these problems? A solution so comprehensive but so utterly straightforward, that it’s mind-boggling that more of us haven’t taken it seriously?

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.
