    Great documentary, everyone should see!

    by

    Forks over Knives was a very well-done documentary on how diet affects us. They profiled several individuals who were able to reverse diseases simply by changing their diet. They also gave a fair view of the opposing opinions. I highly recommend this movie to all!

    Very Informative, Extremely Interesting

    by rlugo

    This movie was put together extremely well with established studies to back up the lifestyle. Great information to change our way of thinking with regards to our overall acute health and nutrition. I was overwhelmed at the conclusion of the film. It's filled with important information throughout its duration. This film gives you a "user friendly" pace to follow each real-life character, each graph, each study and it keeps your attention on the most important issue....your health and the fact that there is an alternative to our daily living. I'm looking forward to seeing this film again just so I can prepare my own personal journey to better nutrition with the hope of a healthier lifestyle. It's been a great personal inspiration and I can only hope I can emulate what occurred with the same results.

    Very Informative and Eye Opening

    My wife and I switched to a vegan diet 6 weeks ago. She had taken a free lecture course at Whole Foods, where she learned of the Engine 2 Diet and Rip Esselstyn. The book was extremely interesting. The course instructor had mentioned this movie at a dinner provided for the lecture graduates. We went the next night and are so glad we did. The film presents an in depth look at the reasons we should eat a predominantly plant based diet. I believe that those people that value their health should watch this film. It will change the way you look at the fuel you put into your body. The movie poster for Forks over Knives has a message at the top it that I believe to be true. It says, "WARNING... THIS MOVIE MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE".
