Host, Laura Theodore, the Jazzy Vegetarian, hears about the groundbreaking feature film, “Forks over Knives,” which examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the so-called “diseases of affluence” that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods.

Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. I’ll talk with Brian Wendel, Creator and Executive Producer of the film and Lee Fulkerson, Writer and Director.

Lee Fulkerson has written, produced, directed or supervised nearly 170 hours of documentary programming, and has won 19 international awards for his work.
