That evidence, and the theory which it supports, is the main subject of Forks Over Knives. Colin Campbell, Cornell University professor and author of The China Study, presents evidence in favor of a plant-based diet for health.Įsselstyn and Campbell both grew up on farms believing that animal protein was essential to our well-being, but have since changed their beliefs in the face of mounting data pointing in one direction - that a whole foods, plant-based diet could be the answer to our country’s obesity epidemic and health crisis. That’s one of many, many points raised by Dr. If the argument against a plant-based diet is that it’s extreme, then what do you call 500,000 people each year having their chest opened up on an operating table, and having a vein from their leg sewn onto their heart? The knife, here, is medicine and surgery. Instead, it’s an image that evokes far more emotion - it’s a scalpel. Only, it isn’t a knife like you’d use to eat. At the bottom of the page, there’s the knife.
In the upper left of the page, there’s fork with a tomato on it. I figured “Forks Over Knives” was simply a reference to vegetarians’ choice not to kill animals for food.īut an image on the film’s webpage leaves no doubt as to what the title really means.
