Forks over Knives

What do you think this documentary will be about?
I think this documentary will be about food and poverty, there seems to be an epidemic with kids living less than their parents for the first time. Kids are now becoming sick with Diabetes, Heart Disease, High Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure, and many other things just because we are not eating right and exercising.

What do you think the title implies or indicates about the film?
I think the title implies choosing forks, which might not be the best over a better quality choice. Since it has to do with our health and food, that was my thought. Knives are hurtful, they give you pain-they cut, well th title can also imply choosing forks-as a better thing instead of knives-they hurt you.

Back in the 1900s we used to eat about 200-300lbs. of dairy and now it has doubled, we now eat about 600lbs of dairy foods. The same with meat- before we used to eat about 100lbs. and now we eat about 222lbs.  Starting in the 1960s heart disease was rising up, this is caused by having an excess amount of cholesterol in the heart area which causes a blockage, a heart pain called angina. A doctor discovered that women in the U.S. were far more to have breast cancer than in Kenya.
In the 1950s 12% less in china had heart disease.No matter what source the protein came from they needed more. Animal Protein is important to the human body,animal protein provides many things for us. Nutrients from animals caused Cancer.
