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!

Who’s watched The Cove? I rarely watch movies, or pay that much attention to them, as I’m always so busy on Black Velvet, and other stuff (like SaveAScream, and of course dayjob work) so for some reason I’d missed out on The Cove when it first came out. I also never ever go to the cinema. When a movie is out that I want to watch, I either wait until it eventually lands on terrestrial TV, or I buy the DVD. If it’s an animal rights related one I usually buy the DVD.
So last month someone on my friend’s list of Facebook mentioned The Cove. I googled it and watched the trailer on the official site. It looked worth buying so I went to ebay and found a copy. After a slight hitch in getting it (the first copy seemed to have gotten lost, so I had to email the seller and they sent a second one), it finally arrived yesterday. I’ve just sat down and watched it.
Incase you don’t know, it’s a documentary about the dolphin entertainment/food industry. It sees Ric O’Barry, who captured and trained five dolphins on the famous ’Flipper’ TV programme in the 60’s, now as an activist, setting out to uncover the dark secrets behind this horrid industry. A team goes to Taiji in Japan where the Japanese catch and slaughter dolphins in order to get the evidence they want to show to others.
It’s a gripping and eye-opening documentary. It’s sad in places, as you see how the dolphins are killed, leaving the sea red from their blood. It’s not too dissimilar from the Canadian seal hunt - only with dolphins.
The movie is a reminder to not support companies that include dolphins as entertainment. Don’t give your money to companies that offer you to swim with them or have your photo with them. These amazing creatures deserve to be free and not in captivity for human entertainment. And it’s interesting to hear about all the mercury in dolphin meat that is sold for food too.
If you have yet to see the film, I recommend it. Check www.thecovemovie.com for more info.
