I just saw this movie Plant Pure Nation. It’s playing at Kahala theaters in Honolulu Thursday. It talks about the legislative process in attempting to pass an amendment advocating plant-based diets for improving health in the Kentucky State legislature. The film-maker Nelson Campbell, son of Colin Campbell, PhD, author of the China Study, offers a 10 day Jumpstart Plant Pure Diet for people with chronic medical problems such as Diabetes and high cholesterol. Most people are able to improve their disease in just 10 days. (They had their blood drawn during the jumpstart diet to prove this).
After staging the Jumpstart Plant Pure Diet in several locations, they went to the Kentucky State Legislature to try to pass the amendment, but even with the overwhelming evidence in favor of a plant-based diet to cure chronic disease and many in the legislature supporting the amendment, there were more legislators opposed to the amendment. The candidates receive political contributions from the meat and dairy industry which likely played a large part in their opposition to the amendment.
Therefore, Nelson Campbell would like to create a grassroots movement supporting the amendment, since politicians are dependent on their voters. It is a great idea, and I am hoping we can all create change together. People should be empowered to change their lifestyle and diet to cure disease instead of being dependent on medications that are not a cure for their disease.
