The Camden Public Library’s Friday Film Club plans to meet at 4 p.m. Friday, Jan. 21, on Zoom to discuss the films “Forks Over Knives” and “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead.”
Both are documentaries on healthy eating, and should be watched prior to the online discussion.
“Forks Over Knives” compares the Western diet with that of other countries, which have lower rates of cancer and heart disease. It challenges authorities who seem to be ignoring the link between meat and dairy consumption and disease in order to protect the status quo in the U.S. and touts the benefits of plant-based foods, according to a news release from the library.
“Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead” follows Joe Cross on his journey to find a more natural way to cope with a debilitating autoimmune disease. With doctors and conventional medicine unable to help, Cross traded in junk food and hit the road with a juicer and generator in tow, vowing only to drink fresh fruit and vegetable juice for 60 days.
To request a Zoom link for the discussion and details for how to watch the films, email jpierce@librarycamden.org.
The Friday Film Club meets on third Fridays to discuss a wide variety of movies and documentaries. New members are always welcome.
