Movies are like food. There are popcorn pictures that entertain you and the spinach movies that are good for you. In more ways than one, Forks Over Knives is a spinach flick. Go to Full Review

I'm guessing that after every screening of "Forks Over Knives," the theater is littered with half-empty popcorn boxes and unfinished containers of soda. Go to Full Review

06/17/2024 It is a bit odd not to mention the ethics at all in a plant based documentary, but there's no wrong information and it should help a lot of people towards health. It just goes over a bunch of people and how they improved on a whole food plant based diet, it goes over how eating animal corpses is inherently unhealthy and how vegetables are inherently healthy. It showcases Campbell like a lot of documentaries and goes over the China study even more than most plant based documentaries I watched. I really need to read the China study. I don’t think this is specifically a vegan documentary as it exclusively focuses on the diet. I am starting to feel that plant based documentaries have a lot of the same information and it overlaps quite a lot, if only the general population watched even some of them, it is starting to not feel like such a task that should be daunting just from the sheer number of the documentaries I watched. You can watch at least one of them! Thanks! A lot of doctors that care about nutrition are old now and I suppose this is the sort of stuff you might care the most at an old age, but a lot of them are still attractive, just saying. I love how a lot of these old people become marathon runners in the documentaries, I really need to step up. I recommend watching a documentary on animal rights and ethics after this one like watch dominion if you haven’t already. See more Nikec N 05/15/2023 100% must see! I believe everyone should watch this movie, and decide to have at least one or two days in the week without meat and daery See more 02/12/2022 This is great foundational information for anyone focused on starting a plant-based diet. See more 03/27/2021 A good documentary with important informations about what humans should eat on a daily basis, and what not. I also recommend watching "Cowspiracy", "Seaspiracy", "The Game Changers", "What the Health" and "Dominion (2018)". It's time to act. Let's make this world a healthier & better place.

It was so convincing that I immediately adopted the program and it changed my life quickly and drastically in lots of ways. See more Read all reviews
