You can watch this movie and feel totally informed and inspired.You can also watch a movie called "Fat head" also on Hulu, and feel totally informed and inspired.These two movies have conflicting points of view and messages regarding nutrition, and yet both movies show people improving their health, cholesterol, etc. through doctors and scientific tests. If scientists can't even agree upon all this, where does that leave the rest of us?

I recently read the most powerful book I have read in almost 20 years. The book is called, "The China Study". As a result of reading this book, my wife and I have changed our diets. We didn't have to go out and buy any special pills or join any programs. In the last eight weeks, I have eaten everything I could stuff down my throat and I've lost 30 pounds. This documentary movie, Forks over Knives, is a mini version containing some of the information from the China Study book. The movie is not as informative as the book but it gives the gist of what the book is about. I think you will find this documentary very interesting and inspiring, but don't stop here, read the China Study. This movie and the book may add 20+ healthy years to your life.

I'm a meat eating medical student in my 3rd year of training. After learning the pathophysiology of the diseases that they discuss, their message hits harder than it would to someone with no science or medical background. In short, everything they have said is right on the money. Just like a Redwood tree uses carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to build the vast majority of it's bulk, only using a significantly smaller fraction of nitrogen and trace minerals to compose the rest, an overwhelming portion of the composition and function of our bodies can be sustained by plant based nutrition and the recycling of nutrients already stored in our bodies. Don't underestimate the power of what a living body can do giving the right tools.I'm changing my diet. TODAY.

This film can save your life!

As a researcher in the field of dietary medicine this is nothing more than a biased view of an enormous issue, its sad that when 80 % of what they say is true they have to push a vegetarian or vegan diet that has been proven to be harmful to the body, enjoyable movie but the science is hanging on for dear life among a whole heaping helping of vegan propaganda, the point I knew the movie was not to be taken as a whole was when they suggest the removal of animal based products. Animal fats have been proven to be better and safer than plant fats, and the proteins only found in animal tissue are vital to the function of the brain. Vegan is not healthy, but neither is eating processed foods so take from this what you will but remember to take the film with a great deal of skepticism towards the elimination of animal based foods

This movie just saved my life, aswered all my questions and thoroughly confinced me they are right!!! Please Watch!!!
