Forks Over Knives

The documentary “Forks Over Knives” begins with this disclaimer: “Statements in this film are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice.”

Director Lee Fulkerson’s movie goes on to say that people will have longer and healthier lives if they give up animal-based and processed foods in favor of a plant-based diet.

That’s sound advice, perhaps, but it’s presented in deadly dull fashion — talking heads and academic charts — reminiscent of an infomercial.

The preachy movie is hardly worth the hassle and money required to see it in a theater. Better to download it or wait for it to pop up on TV.
