I would like to choose this item for both professional and personal reasons. As a Kinesiology professor, I do believe that behaviors have the largest impact on chronic disease and feel that we can prevent and treat chronic disease through a whole-food plant-based diet. Personally, this movie resonated with me because when I arrived at UTA I weighed in excess of 260 lbs. Through the support of my wife (Julie), kids (Nathaniel & Callie) and by adopting a primarily plant based whole food diet I have lost in excess of 75 lbs.
