ABOUT THE BOOK:
Fears of Frankenfood, e coli and "mad cow"
meat abound. If, indeed, we
are what we eat, what in the world are we becoming? Now, John Robbins, who
revolutionized how we think about food, reveals the truth about our already
deadly diet. Fifteen years after the publication of Diet for a New America,
and 10 years after the popular PBS special about the book (September 1991),
general readers are informed, curious, and articulate about diet and
nutrition, and that phenomenally successful book was one of the vehicles
for
awakening people’s interest in the direct connection between what
they eat
and their health.
Now, at this time in our culture’s history, people in the general
population
are fairly sophisticated in their knowledge of quite a wide range of issues
related to diet: the importance of a low-fat diet, the relative importance
of
whole grains, fruits, and vegetables in daily eating, the connections between
certain foods and certain health issues, particularly heart disease and
cancer, the dark side of the agricultural business, particularly the beef
and
chicken industries, and the questions raised by scientific breakthroughs
in
genetically engineered foods.
This sequel to Diet for a New America speaks to a nation that is much more
savvy about food and health issues than it was in the 1980’s and
presents the
tremendously compelling new information that has come out of research in
the
fields of nutrition, medicine, and agriculture, bringing the reader in on
what we now know about relationships between diet and longevity, aging, and
robust health. Armed with powerful statistics, fascinating discussions, and
exposes of false information and its proponents, the author argues for people
adopting a vegetarian diet for their own well-being as well as that of the
planet. Politically charged, the book is unquestionably convincing in its
advocacy of a lifestyle that is not only personally beneficial but of
critical importance to the world at large. This is a book of health and hope,
and it unabashedly makes a pitch for a better world through better eating.
"Carefully researched, eminently readable, and starkly accurate, The Food
Revolution will change your life. If every patient in every doctor's
office
read this book, it would revolutionize the health of America."
~Neal Barnard, M.D., President, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
"John Robbins has done it again! Another brilliant, mind-altering,
paradigm-shifting, lifestyle-changing, heart-expanding book from the most
powerfully sane man I know. The Food Revolution will change your life
and
the lives of those you love. Thoughtful, penetrating, impeccably researched,
it will make you laugh, then cry, then pass it on to your loved ones."
~Marianne Williamson, author of A Return of Love
"John Robbins is the leading voice in the world for restoring humanity to
its
proper relationship with food, the Earth, and health. Read
The Food Revolution and get active."
~Paul Hawken, author of Natural Capitalism
"With regard to our health and the health of our planet,
The Food Revolution could be the most important book ever written."
~Neale Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God
