Title: Forks Over Knives
Type: Documentary
Premise: 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 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 degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting animal-based and processed foods. The major storyline in the film traces the personal journeys of a pair of pioneering researchers, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn.
My Rating:
Even if you don't want to become a vegan (which I am not), this movie has great info about eating healthy and how it can eliminate so many problems we are trying to treat with medication while still eating unhealthy. That's crazy right? Why take medication for problems that food is causing? Why not just change your diet? Anyway, watch in on Netflix (instant play) or rent it or whatever. It's a good informative movie.
