Forks over Knives

Posted on May 24, 2019October 31, 2019 by Dharma Documentaries
A very influential film on the need to switch to a plant-based diet and the benefits it brings to health.

Forks over Knives

This is a film from 2011 looking at the health crisis in the USA, and one way that has been found to help patients recover from all sorts of life-threatening diseases: turning to a plant-based diet.

The documentary mainly follows the work of some health care specialists, particularly Colin Campbell and Caldwell Esselstyn in medical research, and Matt Lederman and Alona Pulde, and the patients they have worked with.

The film also looks at the misinformation spread by government agencies and the related industries and their lobbyist groups, which influence so heavily the information that gets out to people.

The film looks at only one aspect of switching to a plant-based diet: that of health, but there are so many other reasons also: ethics and global warming amongst them.
