The Marshall Plan documentary full version

When Texas Mayor Ed Smith III was diagnosed with prostate cancer, he elected to forego conventional treatment in favor of a whole food, plant-based diet. The results were nothing short of miraculous: his cancer disappeared. He and his wife embarked on a mission to help their town and community adopt a healthier lifestyle based on plant foods. Their story is being told in THE MARSHALL PLAN. The documentary focuses on the transformation of one town into a healthier place when its residents adopted new eating strategies. The stories of Marshall’s residents are combined with interviews from expert doctors and researchers in the field of nutrition, and professional athletes.

No-Bake Cranberry Pear Tart | Forks Over Knives

I created this tasty dessert one holiday when there was no room in the oven to bake one more thing. The filling cooks quickly, is tart and just sweet enough. And the crust comes together before you can say “Happy Holidays.” If you prefer, you can use a tart apple in place of the pears.

Find this recipe and more in the Forks Over Knives Recipe App.

By Del Sroufe, 

  • Crust
  • 2½ cups walnuts or pecans, toasted for 8 minutes in a 350º oven
  • 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon sea salt to taste
  • Filling
  • 3 ripe pears, thinly sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup apple cider
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. For the Crust: Combine the walnuts, dates, cinnamon and salt in the bowl of a food processor and process until the mixture is well combined but not completely smooth. Press it into the bottom and up the sides of a nine-inch non-stick tart pan and refrigerate while you make the filling.
  2. For the Filling: Place the pears, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, apple cider, and dried cranberries in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the pears are tender, about 10 minutes. Remove the pears and cranberries with a slotted spoon to a bowl and set aside. Return the pan to the heat and cook the remaining liquid in the pan until it is reduced by half.
  3. Spread the fruit over the tart crust and pour the reduced liquid over it.
  4. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

A vegan personal trainer has revealed that he can’t keep up with the demand for meal and training plans since the launch of The Game Changers.

The sports documentary, which is available to watch on Netflix, is directed by Oscar-winner Louie Psihoyos and executive produced by Oscar-winner James Cameron. James Wilks produced and starred in the film.

‘Deluged’

Now Paul Kerton – aka Hench Herbivore – has told Plant Based News that the number of people wanting to get fit on a plant-based regime is skyrocketing.

“I have been DELUGED with nutrition and workout plan requests since The Game Changers came out,” he said. “It is having a MASSIVE impact.”

Impact of the film

Multiple plant-based businesses have seen interest increase since the film was released on Netflix and iTunes last month.

allplants, which delivers plant-based freshly cooked and frozen meals directly to people’s doorsteps, has has seen a 66 percent increase in sales. In addition, the company has received multiple enquiries from athletes and sports clubs with an interest in plant-based eating.

Jonathan ‘JP’ Petrides, CEO and founder of allplants, told PBN: “The increase in plant-curious new customers we’ve seen flock to allplants since the film launched on Netflix is encouraging, and most excitingly they’ve stayed with us. We welcome everyone to the table, whether they want to go all the way or give life on plants a try twice a week.”
