When I went a'visiting to Debra's blog at Vegan Family Style, she had posted a trailer for a new documentary coming out this summer. I just had to share with you as well.

I love that there seems to be more documentaries out focusing on health and talking about the (true) epidemics facing us - that most illnesses, conditions, and diseases can be cured/reversed if we're willing to change our habits, most of which are our daily diets. So many people don't get this.

Anyway, Forks over Knives is the documentary and features Dr. T. Colin Campbell (co-author, "The China Study") and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn (author, "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease") as well as many other doctors and nutritional experts, including Dr. Neal Barnard who is part of the Blog Posse at Crazy Sexy Life.

By the way, love the title of this film. So fitting.

Below is the trailer but in case you're somewhere you can't view it, here is the synopsis.

We’ve all daydreamed about having a superpower like superheroes, haven’t we? I mean Superman can fly, reverse time (at least, in the name of love) and is uber strong.

Um, no thanks. At certain times though, I’ve wished for the ability. Could’ve saved a lot of problems, you know? Or be a fly on the wall… * According to this list, there’s insanely rich. I never really thought of that as a superpower per se but it is one I would love to have. That superpower should just be a given. With super wealth I could share it and help so many people, go to so many causes

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding
