Forks Over Knives

Forks Over Knives

"One quarter of what you eat keeps you alive. The other three
quarters keep your doctor alive.". That's an Egyptian proverb quoted
at the beginning of Gene Stone's Forks Over Knives: The Plant-Based
Way To Health. I'd say there has never been a time in which it was so
true. American food purchases are keeping a whole lotta doctors and
their chums in big pharma golfing and yachting.
But it doesn't have to be this way. That's the empowering
message Stone and quite a few of his colleagues in the health
professions deliver. We can decrease our chances of or slow down the
progress of heart disease, cancer, alzheimers, and a number of other
dreaded life style illnesses. What we have to do is learn to resist
the flashy allure of the animal product and processed food industries
and enjoy a wholesome plant-based diet and let our food be our
medicine (without all those nasty side effects).
Forks Over Knives gives plenty of advice on making the
transition. My favorite part of the book, however, is the recipes.
Good stuff like:
*blueberry oat breakfast muffins
*arugula pesto risotto
*sunny orange yam bisque
*woodstock peace salad with tahini dressing
*frozen chocolate banana treats
And so many more.
If you want to feel better and enjoy a healthier life style, Forks
Over Knives is an excellent investment. It costs less than a months
supply of pills and does not have all those nasty side effects that
require...more pills.
