"John Robbins is one of the most important voices in America today, and the most powerfully sane man I know. He cuts through nonsense like no one else does. He delivers crucial information like no one else does. He gives hope like no one else does. His words are lifelines for the mind, heart, body and soul. When the going gets rough, Robbins' wisdom is what people need to see them through." --Marianne Williamson, author of A Return to Love and A Woman's Worth ― Reviews

"This compilation of previously published essays, along with some new material, by bestselling author Robbins (The Food Revolution: How Your Diet Can Help Save Your Life and Our World) examines the physical, social, economical, and environmental effects of industrialized food production. While a longtime promoter of a varied, plantbased diet, Robbins acknowledges that many people also want to eat animal products; for that audience, he espouses the benefits of supporting humane, natural farming practices that promote sustainability while providing nutritious, affordable food for everyone. The book's title derives from Robbins's lawsuit with PETA against the California Milk Board's "Happy Cows Come from California" advertising campaign. He discusses largescale agribusinesses, misleading advertisements, food labeling, and government regulations of agriculture, all while providing information for his claims and deftly avoiding steamrolling readers with technical language or invective.Verdict: Robbins sounds like a close friend who is very passionate about his cause. Like a good pal, he encourages readers to make informed choices about what they consume and how they spend their money. He believes even small steps can have big impacts if more people join his food revolution." --Meagan Storey, Virginia Beach, Library Journal, May 4, 2012 ― Reviews

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. Among these, “Diet for a New America” became a groundbreaking work that fundamentally reshaped American dietary habits. Following its publication, Robbins has delivered thousands of lectures worldwide and produced video adaptations of his books that have been widely distributed.

Robbins leads numerous nonprofit organizations focused on environmental protection, public health, global hunger, genetic engineering, and animal welfare. A highly sought-after speaker, he founded the international nonprofit organization Save the Planet, serves as chairman of Youth for Environmental Sanity, and co-founded and co-chairs the Food Revolution Network, which boasts over half a million members.

PBS also dedicated a one-hour special, “The New American Diet,” to his life and mission.

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. He has served as a keynote or invited speaker at major conferences hosted by organizations such as Physicians for Social Responsibility, Beyond War, Oxfam, the Sierra Club, the Humane Society of the United States, the United Nations Environment Programme, UNICEF, and countless others committed to fostering healthy, just, and sustainable ways of living. Robbins has received prestigious awards, including the Rachel Carson Award, the Albert Schweitzer Humanitarian Prize, the Peace Abbey Courage of Conscience Award, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from Green America. He was also nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in 1987. Widely covered by the media, he has appeared multiple times on national programs hosted by Oprah Winfrey, Phil Donahue, and Geraldo Rivera. During a speech at the United Nations, Robbins earned a standing ovation from the entire audience.
