They’re a group of campaigners, fashion professionals, scientists, writers and developers who care for our planet, people and animals and help drive the whole industry to become more sustainable and fair. They help us understand we can all play a part in driving fashion to be more sustainable and ethical - by choosing to wear clothes from ethical labels; and by re-wearing, recycling, swapping and thrifting.

From Sick, Disabled, and on Multiple Meds to Thriving on a Plant-Based Diet “I had to use crutches and canes and had leg braces to keep my legs from buckling. I had trouble getting out of chairs, walking, and driving. The more I hurt, the more I medicated, and the more I medicated, the more I hurt. It was a vicious cycle that sucked all the joy out of life. I was committing a slow, drawn-out suicide.” Listen to Tim Kaufman’s success story at Forks Over Knives. #vegan #plantbased #plantbasedbriefing #wfpb #elhersdanlos #hypertension #obesity ========================== Original post: https://www.forksoverknives.com/success-stories/sick-and-disabled-to-healthy-on-a-plant-based-diet/ ========================== Use search feature at https://www.plantbasedbriefing.com/episodes-search ========================= Forks Over Knives Documentary: https://www.forksoverknives.com/the-film/ =========================== Forks Over Knives was founded following the release of the world-famous documentary Forks Over Knives in 2011, showing people how to regain control of their health and their lives with a plant-based diet.
