Forks Over Knives Screening at Great Sage

Great Sage | 5809 Clarksville Square Dr, Clarksville, MD 21029 | 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Forks Over Knives examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting animal-based and processed foods. The idea of food as medicine is put to the test.

Join Roots Market for a screening of this deeply-impacting film. Admission is $10, and you will receive a $5 Conscious Corner gift card at the screening.

After the film, there will be an optional Q&A discussion featuring Columbia Certified Health Coach Sharon McRae and Dr. Joseph Adams, a Baltimore-based doctor who promotes a whole foods, plant-based diet. Refreshments will be provided.

Space is limited, so visit or call customer service at Roots Market in Clarksville, MD to reserve your spot!
