Publisher's summary

From John Robbins, a new edition of the classic that awakened the conscience of a nation.

Since the 1987 publication of Diet for a New America, beef consumption in the United States has fallen a remarkable 19 percent. While many forces are contributing to this dramatic shift in our habits, Diet for a New America is considered to be one of the most important.

Diet for a New America is a startling examination of the food we currently buy and eat in the United States and the astounding moral, economic, and emotional price we pay for it.

So important!

The quality and depth of this seminal work is exceptional, informative, troubling and also inspiring. The quality of the narration, however, did not match the tone of the book’s rich contents.

great read!

definite eye opener! please read won't let you down. thinking about switching up the way you eat?

Great lessons for the world !

Mr Robbins points are valid and well documented, yet not enough folks know this important information. We need to continue to spread these facts stated here of why we must go plant based. After reading this book I feel great gratitude for his research .

A must for anyone considering going vegetarian or vegan

This book was recommended to me and even though it’s full of hard truth it has made an impact on me. It is a call to action and it’s hard to not make changes after listening to it.

a great review

I think it was 35 years ago that I first read this book. it was great than and it is great now. read it and take note as it will do you good.

Awesome Read

loved it. informative, engaging, thorough, an eye opener, crusade that still has a long way

Amazing Read

This book is fantastic. It is so full of information that I will have to read it again. It covers everything from the way factory farms raise animals, to diseases, health problems and allergies, toxic chemicals, global warming. Not only did it confirm the choices I had already made in my eating and health, but it also gave me ideas on how I want to improve my family’s foot print for the planet. I want my children and grandchildren to live in a better world than the one they will be inheriting if we continue to move in the direction we are. I just wish that everyone would read this. If you choose not to make any lifestyle changes, that’s cool, but at least we would all be informed.

if you eat, you should read this book!

I want all my friends, relatives, and loved ones to read this book for themselves and for the future of our children and our grandchildren. the information in this book pertains to everyone on the planet and that does mean you!

so true and amazing!

it was amazing! I was already a vegetarian and sometimes a vegan . after listening to this book I totally have turned vegan. Thank you! I have been telling everyone what I have learned

This book is a must read - audible or hard copy

This book became a classic when it was written and still rings true. Given the state of the world now and the overwhelming crises we face, this book should be mandatory reading for everyone. From our health, to the horrors of animal factories, to the immanent collapse of our environment (by now apparent to everyone on earth) - the information presented in this book is imperative for everyone to hear.
(The narrator did well and easy to listen to also)
