From the folks who brought us Chow Down, another movie touting the benefits of a whole foods diet is coming from the theatres to DVD.
Forks over Knives traces the personal journeys of a pair of pioneering researchers, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn as their independent research and discoveries lead them to the same startling conclusion: degenerative diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and even several forms of cancer, could almost always be prevented – and in many cases reversed – by adopting a whole foods, plant-based diet.

Cereal grains have been the stable for people and animals for millenia. The Mayans and Incas lived and thrived on a diet of corn and beans which have complimentary amino acids to build strong muscles and tissues. Our dogs and cats also can thrive on cereal grains. As our bodies are constantly building up and breaking down tissue – we are in fact what we eat!!!
Hi! I think one of the most important steps to being healthy is eating real food that is raised naturally! How can you have a healthy diet when you’re eating meat pumped with antibiotics? I’d love to win this dvd to learn more.
I just started reading the book that this movie is based on (The China Study) because I have been looking for ways for my dad to make some dietary changes to keep his cancer at bay. This is his second form of cancer (he’s almost done with treatment!). Our our family has multiple autoimmune diseases and multiple types of cancer. If my generation (and my father’s) can start making changes to our diets to prevent these issues, I would love to know. If making small changes (less meat or no meat) can change my family’s health long-term, then I’d like them all to try.

Hi. I just went vegetarian in May of this year after watching Food Inc. I’ve since quit eating eggs and dairy also. I’m kind of “on the fence” about soy, so I’m finding your blog very helpful. Thanks!
I also follow you on facebook and twitter and I love all the blogs and stories you post. Thank you
