Eating for your Health and World Health

During the past 2 weeks I have had the privilege of leading a two-part series on "Eating for Your Health and the World's" hosted by the Unitarian Universalists of Southern Delaware. 35 participants viewed with me the life-changing film FORKS OVER KNIVES which served as the basis for our exhilarating discussion on the health and environmental consequences of our western diet of meat, dairy and processed foods. A reception followed with tastings from an array of delicious, colorful plant-based foods.

The second session focused on the extraordinary benefits of eating plant-based foods and how to make simple dietary changes for optimum health. The group enjoyed tasting breakfast, lunch and dinner foods freshly prepared on the spot from fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes.

As many times as I have viewed the remarkable film FORKS OVER KNIVES, I am always heartened by the ability and eagerness of people, when presented with clear and convincing evidence, to make dietary changes to restore personal and global health. Such change is not easy for everyone but it is necessary to reverse the escalating chronic disease epidemic, unspeakable animal suffering and the environmental devastation attributed to animal agriculture.

The film FORKS OVER KNIVES is available on Netflix for viewing or at Amazon for purchase as is the companion to the hit documentary FORKS OVER KNIVES THE COOKBOOK by Del Sroufe. Books by the film's leading figures are also available at your local library, bookstore and Amazon: THE CHINA STUDY by T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., and PREVENT AND REVERSE HEART DISEASE by Caldwell Esselstyn, M.D.  In addition FORKS OVER KNIVES maintains a publicly accessible information-packed FACE BOOK page as well as an online website.
