"Behavioral change is the holy grail of medicine," said Dr. Robert Ostfeld at the recent Monmouth University screening of The Game Changers hosted by the Hockhockson Farm Foundation. "We all know that eating kale is good for us, but getting ourselves to do it is the hard part.

Behavioral change is challenging, which is why documentaries like The Game Changers are so vital in continuing the dialogue around the power of a plant-based diet. On November 17th, 2019, that discussion extended across an all-star screening and panel discussion moderated by Jon Stewart featuring:

• James Wilks - Producer and Star of The Game Changers
• Joseph Pace - Producer of The Game Changers
• Rip Esselstyn - Plant-Strong by Engine 2 and cast of The Game Changers
• Dr. Robert Ostfeld - Cardiologist at Montefiore Medical Center

In this lively and humorous Q&A (How could it NOT be funny with Jon Stewart at the helm?), the experts discussed:

• Reactions to the film
• The importance of busting the multiple stereotypes and myths that are often perpetuated by industry
• Advice on next steps and how to find resources and build community

As Rip says, "There is a veritable smorgasbord of delectability" when it comes to eating a whole food plant-based diet. And, there is a smorgasbord of resources starting at plantstrong.com

We're here to help and we hope you enjoy this continued discussion on The Game Changers.
