I’ve watched many films in the past few years that advocate a plant based diet, but none has ever done it as eloquently and as convincing as Forks Over Knives has. This film has saved countless lives and is on a promising path to save many more.
Forks Over Knives covers the work of Dr. T. Colin Campbell, author of The China Study, and examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting animal-based and processed foods.
One in every three people in the United States is overweight. At least 10% of our population has Diabetes and that rate is growing steadily every day. Todays children are said to be the first generation who will not live as long as their parents. These statistics are staggering. Yet, there is one thing in common with all of these facts – these afflictions are 100% controllable by a proper diet and lifestyle. Forks Over Knives does more than just wax poetic on this fact – they show it in action. What you see will change your life.
Forks Over Knives is a profoundly important film. If you care about your health and the health of your family and loved-ones, you will watch this movie and share your knowledge with the world.

I would like to have a get together with family and friends and show this film and make delicious vegan treats for them. I am the only vegan in the bunch.
I’m running a half marathon in support of a farm sanctuary and in the process of getting sponsors and donors I am spreading the word of the vegan lifestyle. I have been hand putting together Veg Starter Kits, and other goodies (bracelets, magnets, buttons), along with giving away Vegan shirts and books. I would love a copy of FOK to better the effort!
I would use the DVD to help everyone in my family learn about plant based diets and eating healthy.
I was vegetarian, but after watching FOK I became vegan like my beautiful daughter. We already have conversations with all our friends about the importance of a plant based diet and avoiding processed foods. I work with preschoolers and hope they notice my food choices. If I had the dvd I would hold screenings in my home and anywhere they will let me. I would also loan it out to friends who are interested in my new lifestyle.
I’m currently reading The China Study and started transitioning to a vegan lifestyle in June. I’m also working to veganize my kids! I’m a full-time Health Studies student specializing in Community Health, and it wasn’t until I watched Earthlings and started reading The China Study and The Omnivore’s Dilemma that I finally discovered my passion: to get people back to basics with their diet and empower them to take charge of their health! Owning Forks Over Knives would be a great resource to have in my toolbox!
My husband and I wanted to go see this movie, but we spend most of our money on organic vegan food. Almost everyone I know would benefit from this movie, most of them have been unwilling to watch Earthlings, perhaps Forks Over Knives would be much more appealing to them 🙂
Thank you for doing this giveaway!
As a vegan of 2 years, I would show it to all of my family and friends to help explain and back up all of the arguments I have been presenting for the past 2 years! I think that one of the biggest misconceptions of veganism is that it is unhealthy and I think this films does a great job of debunking that silly rumor. Also, I would probably have some FOK parties and just let everyone I know borrow it and pass it along.
Somehow, some way, I will get my family to watch!
I have been a vegan for 12 months now. I started this lifestyle due to health reasons. I have been converting my children, they are almost dairy free and have been meat free for months. My husband, however us not as convinced as I wish he was. He doesn’t believe dairy is bad for you. I have shared FOK recipes and companion books with my friends and neighbors. I feel if I could share this knowledge via the video with them they will be able to pass the truth forward. It IS up to us to get it out there, the media/government isn’t going to do it!
I am so excited about this movie and can’t wait to watch it! Unfortunately, I just missed it at my local theatre. I was a vegan for several years but went astray after traveling to some foreign countries (where the term vegan just gets you a confused look). I’ve tried to get back on track because I do believe a plant-based diet is ideal for optimal health. I think this film will be great inspiration for my journey back to being a chic vegan.
I have been vegan for 8months now, and will continue to be so for the rest of my life. My children will be vegan from the womb and I truly have not been happier or healthier in all my life. Though I have a small support base of friends, many other friends and most of my family are unwavering in their lack of consciousness toward food choices. I believe if I could share this video with them they would have no option but to at least CONSIDER the difference they could make, for themselves, for the animals, for the planet.
I’m a yoga teacher at a college(SWIC) and I will share the DVD
to other teachers so they could incorporate it into their curriculum
reaching many others.
I would like to host a viewing of FOK on my college campus that is free and open to public as a way of reaching and educating not only students, but the also the community about the benefits of plant-based food!
I will be letting people borrow it because I think if you let people watch it in their own home and at their own speed it will sync in more.
This is a film that my meat-and-potatoes dad NEEDS to see. His health and longevity aren’t going to be good if he doesn’t start eating more plant foods. I would use the DVD to educate him and anyone else interested in the benefits of a plant-based diet.
i’ve been dying to see this and spread the word, but it hasn’t shown anywhere around here yet. can’t wait for the dvd to come out!
I hope to see this movie soon! Thank you for doing this giveaway! Such a great opportunity for your readers!
I would love to win this…I think this would be the final kick in the butt for me to change my ways!
I would love to win this, I have been a vegetarian for a year now and want to go completely vegan, but just have not been able to complete the transitition. I am hoping that this DVD will be what I finay need to becoming vegan and cutting out all animal based foods and all the icky processed foods.
Thank you 🙂
What an awesome giveaway! Thank you! I have really been wanting to see this movie! A preview of it came on last night during the Hurricane Irene watch and everyone we were staying with started asking about it. Would be a great way to spread the word.
Can’t wait to see this one!!
Since obesity and many food-borne illnesses are becoming the mainstream, I plan on using the DVD to educate as many people as possible to the life changing concept of a plant based diet.
I saw this at a screening and it was amazing. I would love to share this with my meat-eating friends and family!
I would be thrilled to win this DVD. I have a few friends who would love to see this and really open up their eyes.
I have been Vegan for 2 years. I have some family members that I’d like to watch this video. It might be the push they need to make the switch to a plant-based diet.
Wow i would soo love to win this! iv’e been wanting to learn more about how the vegan lifestyle is beneficial to my health. This would come in handy if i choose to become a dietician. Also, i would like to show this to my mother because she’s thinks i’m going to the extreme by becoming vegan, and i hope this would change her mind when she sees how healthy being vegan is.
Have had to change to a veggie diet because of impending kidney disease. Almost a year now and I have lost my taste for sweets too. There are so many veggie products out there that it isnt a problem at all. Had been an avid meat protein eater for most of my life and thought the change would be hard but it wasnt after a few months. Also, cut way back on sodas too and drink more tea. Im feeling downright perky these days. 🙂
After 10 years of being a vegetarian, just 2 months ago I made the decision to go vegan. While most of my family and friends are supportive, it seems that a few of them are having a harder time with this than when I went vegetarian-which surprised me. People just have deeper feelings about dairy engrained in them. I think it’s because it makes them look at themselves harder about what they’re eating and why they’re eating it and they feel a guilt that makes them so angry they refuse to look at it. Which I understand, it took me very long to make my decision to give up all animal products–but it’s films like this one and studies like this one that solidified my decision and made it easy for me. So, whether I win this DVD or not, it will definitely be a good tool to use in spreading the word about our American diets and it’s tragic affects on our overall health and well-being. It’s a win-win! Go vegan and better your mental and physical health–help alleviate some of our dependence on animal suffering.
I need to see this!!
Sadly I missed the one showing held in NYC :(. I can’t wait to see this movie!!! I think this one is a serious game changer.
I’m entering my second year of Nursing. I was told multiple times by instructors last year that a plant-based diet was far from optimal. This would be a perfect resource for me to lend out and enlighten a lot of people!
I would love to win this, I have been a vegetarian for a year now and want to go completely vegan, but just have not been able to complete the transitition. I am hoping that this DVD will be what I finally need to become vegan and cutting out all animal based foods and all the icky processed foods.
Thank you 🙂
The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Visalia CA is committed to sharing this message with the community. This video will be a valuable tool for our project.
i would love to win this and make my family watch it with me!
I’m really excited to watch this! I’ve heard great things about it!
I can’t WAIT to see this movie – I’d love to win a copy!
I would love to win a copy of this movie, but promise to watch it even if I don’t. Looks FANTASTIC and will hopefully help the rest of my family join me in a plant based, preservative and white sugar free lifestyle.
Hope I win this dvd.
I can’t wait to watch it and learn more so I can change the world a bit more
I’d love to host a movie night at my house and show the movie to friends. I think it’s one of the most powerful and compelling food-related documentaries of the last decade.
My mother’s friends saw this in the theaters and immediately became vegans (my mother told me because I’ve been vegan about three years now). If I won this DVD, I would let my mother and the rest of my family and friends watch it, so they too can make this momentous decision.
I wish this was in theaters for longer in my area! It was only showing a few evenings and I was away. I can’t wait to see it.
I work at a library in south east wisconsin and will put it in our collection to share with everyone!!
I’m throwing my hat in the ring to win this. Hoping my parents might change their eating habits after watching it, since they won’t listen to me. Well, my mom will, but my dad is so stubborn.
I am dying to see this and share it with others!
I am an alcoholic…
I want to change my lifestyle via “vegan”. It is the healthiest diet that I know of for sure…I flirt when I’m hungover because I feel like crap and what the heck I already feel like crap let me continue the day that way. So, I need help to say the least and I heard about this documentary a while ago and I missed the showings in NYC, I live in Albany.
Thank You for giving away 5 of these dvd’s…that is fabulous.
And congratulations to all the winners.
p.s….I hope everyone and their families are safe today with this hurricane. I feel bad that they evacuated NYC…my prayers are out to all of you.

This movie looks awesome! I am seventeen and have been a vegan advocate in my high school for over two years. I would love to be able to share this with my friends and other students in the music and art department!
I would love to see this movie!
I would use it share with my friends who don’t understand the health aspect of a vegan lifestyle!
I have been wanting to see this movie since I first heard about it and now realize that I missed it in theaters. Would love to see it no matter what format it is .
We saw the movie and it impacted my hubby and me that we ran to Barnes and Noble to get the books about the China Study and recipes on how to transition to a plant sourced diet! Our cholestorols were 271 and 266 in May! Today they are 166 and 112! We are thankful for this information that is slowly changing our lives for the good! My hubby and I would enjoy having a copy of Forks Over Knives to have in our arsenal to try to warn the omnivores in our lives! Thank you for the opportunity to tell the results of eating this way! Please!!!! Please!!! Please!!! Allow us to receive this DVD!
I Don’t Need A Knife Anymore,
Teri White
I would love to win the dvd and have a viewing with my friends!
