Dear all,
I am feeling decidedly cultural this week knowing that one of my evenings would be spent at the 'Be The Change' Film Series screened at the Gaiety Theatre in Collingwood.

Be The Change is a series of films that will be screened on the third Wednesday of every month from October until May that focuses on important social and economic issues that affect all of us and intend to spark interesting and intellectual debate.
Today's screening was a film entitled, 'Forks over Knives' which centred around the raging debate over the Western Diet and its implications regarding the onset of degenerative diseases such as Coronary Heart Disease and Cancer. http://forksoverknives.com/
It was a very interesting film that challenged the Western opinion that meat and animal products are good for us and in fact are the cause of virtually all the major degenerative diseases that we as a society face in the present day. It was a little alarming as a newly converted carnivore but I took solace in the fact that I rarely eat McDonalds, predominantly eat raw veg and run for 15km most days. I think I am doing okay.
I would highly recommend any Collingwood folk to come along to the next screening ( It's about how laughing is good for us). My darling friend Karla is a lead figure in the organisation of the series and the profits go to charity. All in all a fabulous cause!
