The impetus for this new diet was the movie Forks Over Knifes. This movie began to culminate with a lifetime of experience, surrounded by well educated friends who care about healthy living, doctors suggesting I cut down on saturated fats in dairy and meat products, and on and on. I’ve heard it all my life, from nearly everyone. They were all pointing to the same solution, a plant based diet.

I am convinced that our diet is critical to achieving/maintaining health, happiness and longevity. Many of the deseases that impact us today are actually food-borne. Combine that with our sedentary lifestyles, sitting at desks all day, and we have a recipe for disaster.

The solution to staving off heart problems, diabetes, and the like was simple, eat healthy and exercise. Remaining a victim of poor nutrition (so prevalent in our modern society) was no longer an option. It was time to take matters into my own hands.
