“Forks Over Knives” - A one-hour vegan film examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict Americans can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting animal-based and processed foods. The major storyline traces the personal journeys of Dr. T. Colin Campbell, a nutritional scientist from Cornell University, and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn Jr., a former top surgeon at the world renowned Cleveland Clinic. Inspired by remarkable discoveries in their young careers, these men conducted several groundbreaking studies and their separate research led them to the same startling conclusion: degenerative diseases like heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, and even several forms of cancer, could almost always be prevented – and in many cases reversed – by adopting a whole foods, plant-based diet. In addition, cameras follow real-life patients who have chronic conditions from heart disease to diabetes. Doctors teach these patients how to adopt a whole food, plant-based diet as the primary. Tickets available at available in Sandpoint at Winter Ridge Natural Foods, Truby’s Health mart, Pedro’s at the Panida, and at the door on the afternoon of the showing.
