The feature film Forks Over Knives 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.

I see in the comments posted, that there were no obese people in the paleolithic, eating large(?) portions of meat tht gave us "big brains." We were hunter gathers, I am sure the majority of you have some idea of men going out every day and catching large portions of meat everyday. In actuallity meat was a rarity, and not the staple in many prehistoric diets. Per calorie our species used to get the bulk of their nutirition from gathered foods. i.e natural vegitables, nuts, fruit, grains. (Vegan)

People that are disagreeing with this documentary didn't watch it or didn't read the journals and science that went into the findings about meat and dairy in a person's diet. And it's unfortunate. This is real, and in time, more will see and realize that a plant based diet is the original design.

@applepiebetty Since I live in the country, I have ran out of animal products for a couple of days at a time now and then, and I did feel better in just that amount of time. As I watched this on NetFlix I can see the coalition of the information and my circumstances. Can't wait to get started and well see how that turns out. Clearly it can't hurt.

@Alaska47Boy I have been in the ranching business for 46 years, and I can vouch for the difference in eating meat. I feel sluggish now, have diabetes, high blood pressure, weigh 290 pounds, have degenerating bones, and have done one diet after another just to gain more back after I loose some. This makes sense, has science and actual change behind it. It's the first one that really makes sense.  I eat allot less, cut out wasted calories, and it does nothing. So it has to be something else.

Oh boy. I see Youtubers are solving the world's problems in the comments section again.

@TheGeetarDog - "You could never believe?" Sounds like you have a habit

of short-changing yourself, then. Sort of ironic you "believe" everything you

hear on this video, and yet have difficulty believing someone would take

take issue with what how it was being presented. I'm not "closed to

considering" ANY idea, and nothing I've stated thus far would indicate

that- I'm closed to the idea that the way you make people consider

those ideas is through slants and propaganda, like this film.

@TheGeetarDog Why must a film necessarily be incomplete? It can, and should, be just as factual and balanced as any book. I understand just fine. Why, when discussing the diet changes imposed on Norway in WWII did the film not mention the other changes in their diet then? Changes like the decrease in sugar, increase in vegetables, and dramatic increase in fish consumption. Because fish is an animal, and including that information would not have fit with the very biased slant this movie takes. 

[TheGeetarDog]

@Alaska47Boy I could never believe that someone could read that entire book and speak like this. You reveal yourself to obviously have a clear, bias by using terms "kool-aid drinkers" and "tin foil hat wearers" without speaking factually. Why are you so closed to considering the idea that a primarily plant-based, whole grain diet can have a dramatic effect towards reversing disease? I work in the nutrition field and there is almost universal agreement on this principal.

[Alaska47Boy]

@TheGeetarDog - I have read it. That has nothing to do with this mock-

umentary. It's a slant and has a clear agenda. Only the tinfoil hat wearers

and kool-aid drinkers are in agreement with what this film is saying.

[TheGeetarDog]

@Alaska47Boy Read "The China Study" and educate yourself on what the study is actually saying.

[TheGeetarDog]

@fmby I appreciate your willingness to comment on here and take a rational approach. That's what these discussions need. Of course the movie is incomplete in a sense because it's a movie and not a book or research study but to say that it has an agenda that uses "poor science" shows a lack of understanding. Challenge yourself to explore the facts and read "The China Study." It's the most thorough epidemiological study of it's kind.

@79ddb1 Actually Honey isn't... coming from someone who absolutely loves honey, apart from a few benefits such as introduction of allergins (specifically in consuming local honey) to build immunitity in your body, honey causes the same spike in blood sugar levels which can lead to health difficulties just like table sugar. As my nutritional professor said , "sugar is sugar is sugar".
