Forks Over Knives

      With Obesity rates on the high, Americans and other countries are not fighting to protect their health. The movie forks over knives has taught us how to protect our health and fight for a healthier future. Humans have been becoming overweight after the past 70 years, yet no one has tried to fight it. With diabetes and many other health related diseases as high as ever we need to stop this problem now.
      To fight obesity we need to look at our past and what we ate 90 years ago when Americans were quite healthy.In the American diet we ate half as much meats, dairy, poultry and sugar. We also ate more plant-based foods back 90 years ago.In this movie they said if you ate a 20% casein diet which means 20% dairy you increase the risks of cancer and cancer bearing tumors. See, Humans aren't meant for an animal based diet. Humans are Omnivores meaning we can eat anything we want to, but the further you go back in time the more you see that we ate more and more plants. Our body is designed to run off of plants and it's only designed to in take a certain amount of meat. This westernized diet needs to be controlled we all need to eatwer meats and more plants. That way we all become healthier and we might get to live past our parent's generation
     Ever since I watched this video I'v been taking a stand up to fight obesity and diabetes and started to eat healthier. I've ate a salad with every meal since than. I'm already really healthy but I'm wondering what this salad approach will help me with. I believe it will make me healthier in the long run and will give me a way to tame hunger in which I don't have to eat unhealthy. I'm really appalled by this video because so many people can take a change and stand up against this obesity yet they don't.I believe if all Americans watch this video we can take a real fight against obesity and health issues. Let us make food our medicine.
