Review of Forks Over Knives (2011) by Lonna E — 30 Jan 2012

Very informative and eye opening. We needed another wakeup call. We all know that our diets are killing us and causing 90% of our diseases. Yet we bury our heads and continue with the instant gratification and ease of a processed and fast food diet.

We continue to treat the symptoms by taking medications for each and every ailment but don't deal with the root of all these issues our diets. The dietary guidelines the US government sets forth are driven by money from the dairy and agricultural departments.

Test results are skewed by allowing advisers and scientists who are paid by these organizations to determine the results of testing. It will be hard to change our diets, the same as it is for smokers and alcoholics to give up their addictions.
