Ms. Orange's review does a serious disservice to her readers. I do sympathize with her. Given the amount of docu focused on food, a critic can fall easily into nitpicking the production values of Forks Over Knives and miss the point of the film. Which she does. The unique contribution of FOK is in revealing the complicity of a host of institutions in and out of government in advocating a diet for Americans that enriches purveyors of processed pseudo-foods while promoting degenerative disease, and in casting suspicion on a diet that is shown to promote health. From the FDA to the National Science Foundation, with the American Medical Association and the American Dietetic Association, American institutions for years have moved to shield Agri-Business from the fallout from the careful, rigorous science presented in FOK. Alas, Ms. Orange's review will dissuade some folks from seeing the evidence, and so miss the opportunity to improve their health. For shame!
