On Saturday January 12, 2013, The Byrd Theater in Carytown played host
to the Vegetarian Society of Richmond and Another Limited Rebellion as they presented a viewing
of the pro-vegetable documentary Forks
Over Knives. Directed by Lee
Fulkerson and released in 2011, the documentary preaches the benefits of a “plant-based
diet” and its effects on degenerative diseases.
I could use this blog to critique the film, but no critique or description
or review will come close to rocking as hard as health blogger Neil Barnard’s review on RawFoodSOS.com.
Seriously. Read it. Especially if you’ve
seen the movie.
Besides the Vegetarian Society being set up in the lobby
handing out informational papers and brochures, Whole Foods had a table in the
lobby serving up lots of healthy snacks like dumplings and other tasty treats.
Overall it was an awesome experience and if the Byrd hosts
another documentary film in the future, I’ll be there. And I have a feeling they do it more often than I know.
For more information on the documentary, check out the Forks Over Knives website.
