Forks Over Knives

Despite the most advanced medical technology in the world, we are sicker than ever by nearly every measure.

Two out of every three of us are overweight. Cases of diabetes are exploding, especially amongst our younger population. About half of us are taking at least one prescription drug. Major medical operations have become routine, helping to drive health care costs to astronomical levels. Heart disease, cancer and stroke are the country's three leading causes of death, even though billions are spent each year to "battle" these very conditions. Millions suffer from a host of other degenerative diseases. You get the picture by now. 

Could it be there's a single solution to all of these problems? A solution so comprehensive but so straightforward, that it's mind-boggling that more of us haven't taken it seriously? 

The answer is animal-based foods. Having a meat based dinner is not good for us. We need to grow our own food and adopt a whole foods, plant-based diet. We are slowly going to that. The problem is we don't know where our food comes from, and just how much of it is sprayed, shot with antibiotics and the like. Let's all decide to go healthy by eating whole foods. I know these foods can be expensive in health food stores, but just how much is " nature's perfect food," worth?
