The Food Revolution

How Your Diet Can Help Save Your Life and Our World

De: John Robbins

Narrado por: John Robbins

Here, the man who started the "food revolution" with the million-plus-selling Diet for a New America, boldly posits that, collectively, our personal diet can save ourselves and the world. If, according to chaos theory, the beating of a butterfly's wing can cause a hurricane in another part of the world, try this out for chaotic cause and effect: monarch butterflies are dying in droves due to genetically-engineered corn growing in the Midwest. There is also a direct correlation between the Big Mac in your hand and the mile-wide river now running across the North Pole. Learn the truth about foods we are eating that are, in Robbins' words, "unsafe on any plate."

“Those who want to know more about vegan diets will gain many insights from his provocative book.” ( Library Journal)

Great Book

Any additional comments?

This book literally changed my life when I first read it in early 2000. It should be required reading (or listening) for all. I also highly recommend the Food Revolution summits that John Robbins and his son Ocean hold. Knowledge is power.

Exceptional I will also buy in print.

If you care about your health if you care about your family's health a must for your library!!!!

Outstanding book.

I couldn't put it down. Lots of insight information. Very inspiring and give humanity hope.

Great info. Too extremist

Even when I think all the information in the book good and true, I didn't like how extremist and redundant it was at times.

LOVED THE BOOK!

I loved the book as I do all of John's books! I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT RIVER PHOENIX. I DID NOT KNOW THIS UNTIL I LISTEN TO THE WHOLE BOOK.. 🙏 MY PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL THE FAMILY. SORRY FOR THE OTHERS THAT HAVE PASSED AWAY ALSO BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THEM BUT WHEN I HEARD THE NAME RIVER PHOENIX IT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION. SORRY FOR EVERYONE!! They will all be in the Resurrection someday. please look up jw.org. (look up what happens at death) it's beautiful to know this knowledge! thank you for your time and your great work Cheri

Epic

another great book that will enlighten it's readers to be better and healthier citizens of humanity

Information that seems to be true and authentic.

I am looking at if this would happen… what if we as a species went for health? Care for our selves is a metaphor for how we care for the planet.

Informative!

Read A Diet for a New America, when it came out put me on a path to becoming a vegetarian, this one is putting me on a path to becoming a vegan. It is eye opening to the global implications of a meat based diet. John Robbins is not only a really good writer but does great as a narrator!

Bill

Excellent book!! Eye-opening and informative. Even though it was written some time ago it still rings true in today'world. We need to make changes, not only for our own health but for the health of the world we live in. It appears very much like industrialized humans are the cancer on our planet. And if we don't change the way we think, eat and respect our environment then the human race will, for different reasons, follow the same path as the dinosaurs.

the best overall story of our lives,

loved the book. easy to finish, enjoyed the voice thoroughly and very well written. the best story of our lives.
