◎ 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.

◎ Plant-based diet benefits. 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.

John Robbins (Author)
John Robbins is a renowned environmental advocate, one of the most influential health and nutrition writers of our time, and an internationally bestselling author. He is the author of several landmark books, including “Diet for a New America,” “Healthy at 100,” “The Food Revolution,” and “No Happy Cows,” with combined English-language sales exceeding one million copies.

Robbins leads numerous nonprofit organizations focused on environmental protection, public health, global hunger, genetic engineering, and animal welfare.

As the only son of the founder of Baskin-Robbins—the world’s largest chain of specialty ice cream shops and one of the most recognized and beloved ice cream brands—Robbins was groomed by his father to carry on the family business. However, he ultimately chose to leave Baskin-Robbins and the vast wealth it represented in pursuit of “a deeper dream… a society that honors all forms of life, lives in harmony with them, and finds peace of mind; a truly healthy society—one that safeguards balanced ecosystems through wisdom and compassion.”

Many regard John Robbins as one of the world’s most articulate and influential voices for reason, ethics, and a sustainable future.
