“Here is a film that could save your life.”

“What every human being should do is eat a vegetarian diet based on whole foods. Period. That’s it. Animal protein is bad for you. Dairy is bad for you. Forget the ads: Milk and eggs are bad for you. Skim milk is no better, because it contains proportionately more animal protein. What you’re trying to avoid is dietary cholesterol. You also need to cut way down on salt and sugar, and run like hell from high fructose corn syrup.”

“The bottom line: I am convinced this message is true. A plant-based whole foods diet is healthy.”

—Roger Ebert, in a review of the documentary Forks Over Knives at the Chicago Sun-Times.

The documentary that examines the claim that a plant-based diet can cure and reverse heart disease, Forks Over Knives, is out in select theaters across the United States. For some, it’s a matter of taking the train or driving a few miles, but for others, as the locator states, it’s a matter of “contemplating a road trip.”

At least that road trip is now a lot easier with detailed driving instructions, mileage, driving time and a map using Google Maps.
