Forks Over Knives Website

I love the Forks over Knives website.  I actually get posts on my Facebook page.  The website has research, articles, recipes and more.

I really enjoyed this article titled How a Plant-Based Diet Helped Me Become an Endurance Athlete.
It tells the story of a man who has struggled with weigh and fitness issues most of his life.  He began participating in long distance running and ultimately found that switching to a plant-based diet has allowed him to tale his performance to a whole new level!

FED UP movie on Nextflix

I just finished watching Fed Up a documentary about the childhood obesity epidemic in the U.S. and now around the world.

To say that I enjoyed it would be wrong.  It was hard to watch, that is the truth.  However, I think that as consumers, voters, parents, and eaters, we need to know that our culture of processed foods is killing our children. 

If you have Netflix I urge you to watch this movie with your whole family.  It will be long, a bit boring at times since there are no special effects and no young good-looking stars.  What there will be is information that is critical to your well-being and that of your children and grandchildren.

Lets not let this be the generation where our children have a shorter life span that that of their parents.

Other great movies on Netflix are listed on this page the right.
