"Forks Over Knives" is a newly released film about the ground breaking work of Dr. T Colin Campbell. Dr. Campbell, a Cornell nutritional scientist, discoverd in the 1960's that wealthier children of the Philippines, who consumed relatively high amounts of animal-based food, were more likely to get liver cancer than poorer children who did not consume animal-based foods. Dr. Campbell went on to join in a study in China that led to the conclusion that diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes and several forms of cancer could almost always be prevented by adopting a whole foods, plant-based diet. Maine Animal Coalition believes that both people and animals will benefit by getting the facts out about the value of a plant based diet.
