Film explores plant-based diet
Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., is a nutritional scientist who
provides much of the information for the film "Forks Over
Knives," which examines the benefits of a plant-based, whole
food diet. Photo courtesy Plumas Arts
A special screening of
"Fork Over Knives" will be
held Tuesday and Wednes-
day, Nov. 8 - 9. at the Town
Hall Theatre in Quinc,y.
Showtlime is 7 p.m. both
evenings.
"Forks Over Knives"
exam-
ines the" profound claim that
most, iS not all, of the degen-
erativd diseases that afflict us
can becontrolled, or even re-
versedi by rejecting animal-
based nd processed foods.
The najor storyline in the
film trces the personal jour-
neys o a pair of pioneering
researchers, Dr. T. Colin
CampOell and Dr. Caldwell
Esselsyn.
WJla has happened to us?
Despie the most advanced
medical technology, in the
worldi we are sicker than
ever ly nearly every mea-
sure.
Twoiout of every three of
us are overweight. Cases of
diabetes are exploding, espe-
cially amongst our younger
populSti0n. About half of
prescription drug. Major
medical operations have
become routine, helping to
drive health care costs to
astronomical levels. Heart
disease, cancer and stroke
are the country's three lead-
ing causes of death, even
though billions are spent
each year to "battle" these
very conditions. Millions
suffer from h host of other
degenerative diseases.
Could it be there's a single
solution to all of these
problems? A solution so com-
prehensive but so straight-
forward, that it's mind-
boggling that more of us
haven't taken it seriously?.
Campbell, a nutritional
scientist at Cornell Univer-
sity, was concerned in the
late 1960s with producing
"high quality" animal pro-
tein to bring to the poor
and malnourished areas of
the third world. While in
the Philippines, he made
a life-changing discovery:
the country's wealthier chil-
us ar taking at least one dren, who were consuming
relatively high amounts of
animal-based foods, were
much more likely to get liver
cancer.
Esselstyn, a top surgeon
and head of the Breast
Cancer Task Force at the
world-renowned leveland
Clinic, found that many of
the diseases he routinely
treated were virtually un-
known in parts of the world
where animal-based foods
were rarely consumed.
These discoveries inspired
Campbell and Esselstyn, who
didn't know each other yet, to
conduct several ground-
breaking studies. One of
them took place in China
and is still among the
most comprehensive health-
related investigations ever
undertaken. Their research
led them to a startling conclu-
sion: degenerative diseases
like heart disease, Type 2
diabetes and even several
forms of cancer could almost
always be prevented and
in many cases reversed by
adopting a whole foods, plant-
based diet. Despite the pro-
found implications of their
findings, their work has re-
mained relatively unknown
to the public.
The filmmakers travel with
Campbell and Esselstyn on
their separate but similar
paths, from their childhood
farms where they both pro-
duced "nature's perfect food,"
to China and Cleveland,
where they explored ideas
that challenged the estab-
lished thinking and shook
their own core beliefs.
The idea of food as
medicine is put to the
test. Throughout the film,
cameras follow "reality
patients" who have chronic
conditions from heart disease
to diabetes. Doctors teach
these patients how to adopt a
whole foods plant-based diet
See Forks, page 13B
LETTERS, from page 11B
The r0tired are living with
fixed vages and decreased
benefits. It is time they get
the same treatment.
The BOS has been influ-
enced by their employee
union i(Operating Engineers
Local 3) at the expense of
community services. It is
time to "Say No!" and put the
self-serving interests of the
union out of our government.
They are refusing to accept
a 4 percent contribution
toward their retirement fund.
Taxpayers have been paying
for their entire retirement
plan. They also have a health
care plan that should be
re-negotiated.
The BOS has had to consider
furloughs as an alternative to
balance the budget. The nine
hours a day/four days a week
is not good for community
services. It is time for the
union to work for the benefit
of the community or pack
their bags.

Wild charges
I was really dismayed to
read the article in the Oct. 19
paper about Sharron Angle's
repeated remarks about
"voter fraud" and her
demand that "the laws are
enforced with penalties for
voter fraud."
1 have been a poll worker
for a number of elections, and
I think that if Ms. Angle had
any idea how much careful
checking, cross-checking,
verifying and triple-checking
goes on with the voter regis-
tration lists and voter verifi-
cation before, during and-
after elections, she wouldn't
dream of tossing around wild
statements such as "children,
deceased people and non-
existent addresses showing
up on voter registrations and
people registering and voting
more than once."
! guess she's complaining
because she lost her last elec-
tion badly, but that's no ex-
cuse for making wild charges
as though the whole voting
process was an amateur free-
for-all instead of the careful,
thorough, professional and
non-partisan operation that it
is.
Supreme Court Justice
Oliver Wendell Holmes said,
"The most stringent protec-
tion of free speech would not
protect a man in falsely
shouting fire in a theatre
and causing a panic." Ms.
Angle suggests all voters
do thorough investigating;
she Should take her own
advice.

Hang-ups
Hoping that the newspaper
didn't mind, I decided to use
it to communicate with the
person who has flattered me
with telephone calls every
morning and then hanging
up as soon as I pick up except
once when a woman's voice
said "goodbye" before hang-
ing up. I think the calls
are designed to bother me,
but I am actually flattered
that someone is giving
such weight .to my printed
comments.
In a way, I feel sorry for the
woman who has to remember
to make that call every day.
Perhaps, if she could meet me
face to face, she could yell at
me in person and get it out of
her system. I won't yell back.
I promise. I usually come to
Quincy on Tuesdays.
On another note, I recom-
mend an article written by
Joseph R. Chenelly, titled
"The 1930s: Challenging
Times" published in the
September/October issue of
the Disabled American
Veterans magazine regarding
the "Bonus Marchers," the
destitute veterans of World
War I.

Go figure
Last week Supervisor Lori
Simpson wrote an article
disputing my written state-
ment that Plumas County's
unemployment rate was 19.9
percent. In trying to justify
her statement that the un-
employment rate was under
14 percent she very conve-
niently used the EDD's unem-
ployment rate for the lowest
month of the year.
Apparently Ms. Simpson
either doesn't understand
how unemployment rates are
set for a county, or, and I
hope this is not the case,
she purposely misled the
public.
If you go to the U.S. Bureau
of Labor statistics, you will
see that the unemployment
rate in the summer was 13.7
percent. If you look at Janu-.
ary, you will see that the rate
was 20.2 percent. It clearly
states that neither rate was
"seasonally adjusted" so if
you pick a month that is
neither winter or summer,
say March, you will learn
that the unemployment rate
was, guess what, 19.9 percent
-- exactly what I quoted in
my article.
The Plumas County Board
of Supervisors puts out a
"Plumas County Economic
Indicators" and in that docu-
ment the EDD says, and I
quote, "These unemployment
statistics show those persons
that are registered in the
EDD system. Various sources
estimate the 'real' unemploy-
ment or underemployment
may be up to-twice the
official unemployment rate."
Of course if you don't trust
the government's figures
(they never stretch the truth,
do they) you could turn to
a private company called
Sperlings, which tracks such
things as people, health,
economy, housing, rankings,
crime, climate, education,
transportation, cost of living,
religion, voting and, yes,
unemployment statistics
nationwide. You will find
that they say the unemploy-
ment rate in Plumas County
is, you guessed it, 19.9 per-
cent, again exactly the figure
I quoted in my article.
If Ms. Simpson is going to
remain a politician she
should learn two things.
First, never ask a question at
a public meeting unless you
already know the answer and
second, when you are going
to dispute someone who
quoted specific numbers,
make darned sure you
know what you are talking
about.
