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."

If this book doesn't change you into a vegetarian and swear you off of eating at the fast food chains, nothing will. John Robbin's is a hero in the true sense of the word. He could have lived the life of luxury having been born into the Baskin...

This is a great book. As a future dietetic professional, it is important to keep up on the books consumers are purchasing. Even though at times, John Robbins can make meat eaters feel very guilty, the book is excellent.

From: Amazon Posted: Nov 21, 2007 Type: User Review Great Piece of Work

I was of the same mindset as Mr Robbins about food and the poor eating habits of most people before listening to the tapes. So I did not need any convincing to adopt better eating habits. But I particularly wanted to hear the story of Mr Robbins...

This is a good book, interesting, even if, at times, it sounds a bit preachy. For someone new to the subjects discussed, this will probably have some eye opening spots, but for anyone who has been concerned about their health, the planet's...
