The Challenge

30 days of plant-based foods, including plenty of fruits and vegetables, grains and legumes and no meat, dairy, eggs or animal products. Yes, we bribed them with rewards at the end of the 30 days and no, we are no expecting them to be 100% perfect. During the 30 days, we have a Superbowl Party, a Birthday, Valentine's Day and numerous kids parties and class parties.

Forks Over Knives

We sat down with our greasy, processed, McDonalds meal and watched the movie, "Forks Over Knives".  We cringed watching footage of heart surgeries and stories of men and women who struggle with lives full of shots and pills and surgeries that were results from diabetes, cancer and heart disease.  It made us think of family we know that struggles with these diseases and some who have passed away from them. 
We were amazed by stories of people who were able to reverse the diseases completely and get off all their meds by simply changing the foods they ate.  Did you know that doctors have been able to turn on and off cancer in lab rats by increasing and decreasing the levels of milk protien they feed them?  It's true!  And now we have proof from humans that eating plant-based foods provides and environment where cancer cells don't thrive, arteries heal and cells regenerate like they were many, many years ago.  It was really eye opening! 
Here's how our discussion went afterwards.
