Forks over Knives - The Engine 2 Diet - and so much more...

It was a packed house today at the Boston Museum of Science to see the sneak preview of Forks over Knives. So very thankful I got in!  Can we reverse the Diseases of Affluence?

And, of course, it took two hours to find the cable to the camera and I still can't upload the picture for the world to see the autographed page from The Engine 2 Diet by Rip Esselstyn.  He was one of the panelists discussing the film.  The text reads:

YIPEEEEE!!!!!

Forks and Knives is coming out in May.  Hope it's a HUGE COMMERCIAL success and leads to many, many thoughtful discussions and dialogues. Found myself too scared to ask:  why do the countries with the highest dairy consumption also have the highest breast/prostate cancer rates?  Since I spent most of tonight looking for the camera cable and now (OF COURSE) I can't find the WHO statistical page with age standardized breast/prostate cancer rates by dairy consumption and country origin I have completely given up.

Was thrilled to see the movie used the same quote from Hippocrates that's on the SuperMom101 Show:

Let food be your medicine [and medicine be your food.]

Best health always to you all!

p.s. For dinner I had no meat and it was delicious.  Leftover sauted brussel sprouts with garlic, leftover steamed spinich, freshly cooked brown rice with peas and 3 chocolate covered strawberries for dessert. (The strawberries are leftover from our Valentine's Day Dinner with the kids from last night.)

Wish you had asked the question about dairy consumption and cancer rates! It felt like I was at my primary care doctor's appointment when the MD spoke. It's really too bad that the medical establishment knows nothing about diet and disease.

Nice to meet you in line for the book signing.

Best health to you and thanks for sharing your story!
