The Food Revolution: How Your Diet Can Help Save Your Life and Our World

Here, the man who started the "food revolution" with the million-plus-selling Diet for a New America, boldly posits that, collectively, our personal diet can save ourselves and the world. If, according to chaos theory, the beating of a butterfly's wing can cause a hurricane in another part of the world, try this out for chaotic cause and effect: monarch butterflies are dying in droves due to genetically-engineered corn growing in the Midwest. There is also a direct correlation between the Big Mac in your hand and the mile-wide river now running across the North Pole. Learn the truth about foods we are eating that are, in Robbins' words, "unsafe on any plate." more

Save the Planet and Love yourself...

I read John Robbin's book, 'Diet for a New America' before I read 'The Food Revolution' and I wish I had just read this! It's similar, but more of the whole package. It discusses vegetarianism in all aspects unlike, 'Diet for a New America.' All in all, probably the most informative book on...

The Answer

You could buy a Prius for $20,000+, or become Vegan -and still have a bigger impact on saving the environment (I'm not advocating for gas guzzlers either, just stating a point). You could eat whatever you want "because you're going to die of something", or be responsible for your part of the...

Start reading this engaging book at any place and you'll want to keep going. The author, John Robbins, passed over his heirship to the Baskin and Robbins ice cream success. Without condemning his father and uncle, he transformed his pain by knowing and seeing what too much ice cream and other...
