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.

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.

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

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.

This movie has helped me change my life on understanding nutrition and what I eat today. It exposes what many won't on what is needed to help reverse your health conditions and our top two killers being heart disease and cancer. It's fact-based by a scientist among others and will help lead you on your journey back to health!
