Roger Ebert Review: "Forks Over Knives"
A very interesting review:

Here is a film that could save your life. So you'd better stop reading now, because you don't want to go to the trouble. You are addicted to fat, salt, sugar and corn syrup. Your body has established a narcotic-like dependence on them, and you're comfortable with that, just like smokers know why they keep on smoking. If you have to die 10 or 25 years sooner than necessary to smoke, if you need Viagra because your vascular system is compromised, or if you're overweight, you can live with that.

it's an interesting movie review. It's actually more of an article about the importance of cutting out animal proteins from your diet than a movie review. The last line of the review really surprised me:

P. S.: I have recently decided to ditch my canned nutrition and switch to a liquid diet based on fresh fruits and vegetables. Yes, I consulted my physician.

Roger's going vegan!

He has stated in other articles he does not get hungry or taste his gtube nutrition.

He wrote an informative article about Gtube feeds :
