When I first heard about this movie, I thought the title described a salad fork conquering a steak knife, but it turns out the imagery actually refers to diet (fork) and medicine (knife, or scalpel). Vilification of animal products aside, “Forks Over Knives” highlights something I strongly believe in-the power of diet and lifestyle to trump illness. Proud meat-eaters are less enthused, sometimes hilariously so. The film’s producers call it a movie that “examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods.” Roger Ebert calls it “a movie that could save your life.” I call it a movie that deftly blends fact and fiction, and has lots of pictures of vegetables. Vegans everywhere are swooning, giddy that their message is now animated, narrated, and on sale for $14.99. Colin Campbell, this should seal the deal.Īs most of you probably know, a documentary called “ Forks Over Knives” recently hit the theaters after months of private screenings. Thanks for stopping by!
