Forks Over Knives

This summer I've been getting a certificate in nutrition and I'm excited to share that 2 of my professors (Dr. T Colin Campbell, nutrition biochemist from Cornell University and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, former top surgeon at the world-renownd Cleveland Clinic) are featured in an innovative documentary set to be released in theaters March 11th, 2011. The film, entitled Forks and Knives, has already been privately screened in advance in a few select cities and it has already received lots of support.

Just from the trailer alone, this looks to be a very compelling film.

The documentary examines the profound idea that most, if not all, chronic diseases that afflict those eating a Western diet can be REVERSED by rejecting our current diet of animal-based and processed foods. Imagine a world with virtually NO degenerative diseases such as heart disease, type 1 and 2 diabetes, cancer and auto immune diseases -- simply from just adopting a whole foods, plant-based diet! As the EMT paramedic said in the trailer, "the answer is so easy. It's criminal."

Watch the trailer and please feel free to post your reactions below!
