Pomegranate Cafe to screen movie ‘Forks Over Knives’ Wednesday

“Forks Over Knives,” a 2011 documentary that advocates a vegan diet as a means of combating a number of diseases, will be screened at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Pomegranate Cafe in Ahwatukee.

Professor of nutritional biochemistry T. Colin Campbell (pictured) suggests “most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods.”

The film, which got 3 out of 4 stars from movie critic Roger Ebert, is part of the cafe’s monthly “Feed Your Body, Feed Your Mind” series.

Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at the cafe or online. Dinner can be ordered between 6-7 p.m.
