Reel and Meal-Forks Over Knives

Reel and Meal will feature "Forks Over Knives" with a personal appearance by Dr. Neal Barnard, who will lead a discussion on the film. "Forks Over Knives" examines the profound claim that most degenerative diseases afflicting us can be controlled or even reversed by adopting a plant-based, whole foods diet and rejecting animal-based and processed foods. This 90-minute, 2011 documentary presents amazing research conclusions of two prominent pioneers in the field of health & nutrition.

December's speaker is Neal Barnard, MD, president of the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). Dr. Barnard is a renowned clinical researcher, health advocate and the author of several books.  He has appeared on "Dr. Oz," "The Today Show," "The Ellen Show," and "PBS" — and is featured in "Forks Over Knives."
