Forks Over Knives

Want cancer, diabetes, heart disease? Then eat meat and dairy!

Forks Over Knives is a documentary now available to buy on DVD that shows how eating a plant based diet can cure diseases. It can reverse the effects that eating meat and dairy can cause, it can stop you having to take pills on a daily basis. Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn have both been inspired by the research discoveries they’ve made during their years in the medical industry which led them to the conclusion that meat and dairy is bad for humans. Eating meat can cause strokes, heart attacks, dairy has been shown to bring on more cancerous tumour growths, hypertension and diabetes and more. On this DVD the duo explain it.

More and more people are getting these diseases. There are some interesting quotes in the movie, one being ‘One quarter of what you eat keeps you alive, three-quarters of what you eat keeps your doctor alive’. The medical industry makes billions from the illness of humans. This is why many won’t just tell you to change your eating habits and cut out meat and dairy - and are just happy to keep giving you pills. Would they like to be out of a job? Hell no!

In the DVD you see a number of people who were on medication for diabetes or heart-related problems - and you see how thanks to a change to a plant-based diet they have combated those diseases and no longer need medication, becoming healthier, happier individuals.

Forks Over Knives is the DVD everyone that eats meat or dairy needs to watch. Everyone is always so happy to keep their eyes shut and pretend cruelty to animals doesn’t happen, as long as they can eat the food they like - but in years from now when you start needing medication on a daily basis, won’t you wish you’d done something about your eating habits? Won’t you regret the McMurder Burger you ate on a weekly or monthly basis? Or that slab of steak that wrapped its wings around your heart. Was it worth that taste to be unwell?

Forks Over Knives is inspiring from 30 seconds in - and doesn’t let up until the end. A definite, informative DVD to learn from, and for others to learn from too.

Watch this trailer and then order the full product. It’s well worth it - especially if it means you get to live longer!

Protest With The Heroes

I’ve been to Santa Monica a couple of times. Only briefly while visiting LA. One place thankfully that I didn’t go to when I was there was The Hump Restaurant. Apparently they are now serving Whale meat. Gross. NY Times revealed a few days ago that the restaurant is serving this illegal meat to diners. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/09/us/09sushi.html

So it’s nice to hear that punk rock frontman Zoli Teglas of the punk/rock band Pennywise will be protesting at the restaurant this Friday, March 12th (ie. tomorrow) with Sea Shepherd Volunteer Music & Outreach Coordinator Kurt Lieber, and Grace Ko, director of operations for Pelican Rescue Team. This protest will take place during the lunchtime rush to educate patrons in Santa Monica that endangered whale species are being consumed at the restaurant. Operators of The Hump could at most be fined $20,000 and serve one year in prison for violating the Marine Mammal Protection Act.

If you’re in the area and would like to be involved in the peaceful protest on Friday March 12th at 11.30 (until 2pm) head towards The Santa Monica Airport, 3221 Donald Douglas Loop South, Santa Monica, CA 90405.
