Vegan Documentaries Highlight Plant-Based Eating

Vegan documentaries highlight the benefits of a plant-based diet

This spring and summer, encouraging a friend or family member to choose vegan foods can be as easy as taking them to a movie, thanks to two new vegan documentaries highlighting the benefits of vegan eating: Forks Over Knives and Planeat.

In Forks Over Knives, renowned nutritional researchers Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn discuss how their groundbreaking research found a link between animal products and certain chronic diseases including heart disease and cancer. Viewers hear from a number of once-ill individuals who are now living healthy, happy, plant-based lives. Visit ForksOverKnives.com to find out how to watch it.

Planeat promotes the many benefits of vegan eating. From interviewing chefs at top vegan restaurants such as Pure Food & Wine in New York City and Saf in London to sitting down with researchers to discuss the impacts of our dietary choices on the environment, Planeat highlights just how easy it is to find delicious vegan fare and why it’s so important for the planet and our health.
