Eat like a firefighter!

I love Netflix!  For 7.99 a month I can watch tons of great movies and my favorites are Food, Inc, Food Matters, Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead, Forks Over Knives, and today my husband and I watched The Engine 2 Kitchen Rescue.  The movie is about Rip Esselstyn, (son of Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D. author of Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease) who is a firefighter and a vegan.  Rip goes to 2 different families and does a menu makeover that suits the particular lifestyles of each family.  The first family was a married couple in their late 50s/early 60s and he showed them how to redo burgers and fries and also lasagna.  The second family was a married couple with 4 children.  He showed them how to redo cereal, sandwiches, pizza and ice cream..... all vegan!  In keeping with many of the videos and websites I mention on this blog, this is part of the plant-based diet movement that is sweeping this country.

I hope that you enjoy the video and the website http://engine2diet.com/
