"Forks Over Knives" Documentary

Whole Foods Market offers the following description:

Landmark Theater at Plaza Frontenac Cinema features physicians and expert researchers, “Forks over Knives” presents compelling evidence suggesting that many of the nation’s most-debilitating degenerative diseases may be prevented, and in many cases reversed, through a whole food plant-based diet. “Forks Over Knives” has joined forces with Whole Foods Market, and our Healthy Eating Partner, Rip Esselstyn, author of The Engine 2 Diet, in sponsoring prescreening events of the documentary in select markets across the country – including St. Louis!

Join us for this exciting evening to view the film, which offers clear information about the serious but often misunderstood relationship between food and health, and stay for a panel discussion with Mr. Esselstyn, Joe Pollack and Ann Lemons Pollack, both writers for St. Louis Magazine and co-presidents of stlouiseats.com, along with our emcee for the evening, Catherine Neville, editor of Feast Magazine.
