Important movie to watch

[tishbite]

Forks over Knives. Watched it tonight and made me feel very fortunate for being vegan. Even though it doesn't bring up crohn's I feel that it could be applied towards not only cancer but also crohn's and many other illnesses. Definitely has me thinking.

Yes! I want to see this movie. I think we can all benefit from this.

It's actually playing at the University that my daughter attends tomorrow! I think she plans on seeing it

I saw it with my fiance as I was trying a vegan diet for two months. It's an interesting, enjoyable movie but the vegan way didn't work for me though I know it works for many. I think it's about figuring out what our bodies need and honoring that. Just remember to take you vitamin B12 if you're going vegan

I followed a strict vegan diet for 8 months. Its very detoxing, but it did not help my crohns at all. In fact my disease spiralled out of control, not that I blame being vegan on that.

I just did a gluten free diet for 2 months without much luck either.

So far a whole foods, unprocessed diet works best for me.

We still eat vegetarian/vegan meals about 3-4 days a week. I know some really great healthy recipes, that I loved during that 8 months.

I'm with you on the organic whole foods Lydia, that's all I buy now. My next step is to grow as much of my own as I can

I'm watching it now. Lol. Very interesting. I try my best to eat alot of non processed food and fresh foods. I have a hard time cutting out dairy though... I'm addicted.
