Product Description

The Saving Power of the Plant-Based Diet
“If every patient in every doctor’s office read this book, it would revolutionize the health of America.” ―Neal Barnard, MD, president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
#1 Bestseller in Agriculture & Food Policy
A book from the over-one-million-copies-sold author who made popular the connections between diet, physical health, animal cruelty, and environmentalism.
A revolution in food-politics. When John Robbins released an early version of this book in 1987, he took the first steps in the food revolution. His insight into the harm caused by America’s eating habits was a wake-up call for many.
Making conscious food choices. It is obvious to us that what we eat affects our bodies, but what we may not realize is that what we eat also affects our world. In fact, most of the foods that are bad for us (think genetically modified products) also negatively impact our environment. By approaching our eating habits with intentionality, we benefit our own health and that of the world we live in.
The value of a plant-based diet. Arguments for a plant-based diet are compelling and backed by over 20 years of work by Robbins focused on the subject of conscious eating. Exposing the dangers in our factory farming system, Robbins makes a definitive case for solely plant-based eating. This timely read on healthy eating will enlighten those curious about plant-based diets and fortify the mindsets of the already converted.

Review

“The Food Revolution provides a cornucopia of arresting and revealing information. Robbins shows, in ways that both shock and fascinate, how the food we produce functions as a fateful link between our health as individuals and the health of the planet that gives us life. Particularly powerful is his well-documented account of the havoc wreaked by the “big cattle” industry on everything from our arteries to our aquifers.” ―Ed Ayres, author of God’s Last Offer
“The Food Revolution is the most comprehensive and persuasive argument ever assembled for a plant-based diet being proper human nutrition. Your life and the future of humankind may depend upon the spread of John Robbins’ vital message.” ―John McDougall, MD, author of ten national bestselling books, and founder of the nationally renowned McDougall Program
“Once again, John Robbins enables us to find our way through the maze of information about food choices and the food industry. His impeccable research and visionary outlook are a gift to those of us who wish to make wise food choices. Personally, I found his reflections on many of the popular diets of our time to be extremely helpful.” ―Ann Mortifee, vocal artist and composer
“Provocative and compelling, The Food Revolution delivers one of the most important messages of our time. Presented with clarity and conviction, Robbins leaves the reader sobered but inspired.

Nothing short of a call to action, this is a book to give to family, friends, and colleagues. I highly recommend it.” ―Suzanne Havala, author of seminal American Dietetic Association position papers on vegetarian diets, and author of Being Vegetarian for Dummies and The Natural Kitchen
