John Robbins could have inherited the Baskin-Robbins fortune and empire. But he walked away from all the money and the power. Why? He simply didn't want to devote his life to selling ice cream after realizing it makes people unhealthy. So he decided to make a change. Over the last 25 years, his books about healthy eating and healthy living (including bestseller Diet for a New America) have sold millions of copies and been translated into more than 30 languages.

Ocean Robbins was born in a log cabin built by his parents, and grew up eating food they grew together. At age 16, he co-founded an organization called YES! (Youth for Environmental Sanity) that he directed for the next 20 years. YES! has reached more than 650,000 students in school assemblies, and organized seminars and gatherings for leaders from 65+ nations. Ocean's work took him all over the world where he saw first-hand the powerful impact of the food we eat, not just on our health, but on people and economies everywhere.

The Food Revolution Summit

Over the course of nine days in the spring of 2012, John and Ocean Robbins gathered together leading insights from some of the world's brilliant scientists, doctors and nutritionists. They conducted 24 inspiring, galvanizing and deeply informative interviews, and broadcast those interviews worldwide.

More than 30,000 people from 100+ countries participated in the Food Revolution Summit, and response was so overwhelmingly positive that John and Ocean made the decision to keep the program alive.

Now the interviews from the Food Revolution Summit are being offered on a rotating basis, so you can check back here every week to hear a new batch. Or register to join the Food Revolution Network and find out about valuable tools and resources for food revolutionaries and to receive a notice every time a new set of interviews is posted.

Did you know that...

  • Genetically engineered food is unlabeled, untested, and you're probably eating it.
  • Genetically engineered foods have been linked to toxic and allergic reactions in people; to sickness, sterility and fatalities in livestock; and damage to virtually every organ studied in lab animals.
  • More than 80% of the foods you eat in restaurants and buy at supermarkets contain genetically engineered ingredients.

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM JOHN ROBBINS:

Dear Friend,

I want to invite you to participate in what I believe to be the most important resource I can offer you in the future of our food.

It's called the Food Revolution Network.

Perhaps you're aware that we're entering a food crisis in America unless something is done. And done now. Never before have the stakes been so high- and the risks.

Food is fundamental to your health and to the health of our world. Information is power. And we want to empower you with what will help you and your loved ones thrive.

I personally interviewed 23 of the top food experts and activists on the planet.

These 23 visionaries have inspired hundreds of millions of people. These 23 people have changed the way we think about food. I have selected these 23 people both for the substance of their message, and for their skill in sharing it.

Why I'm really doing this...

I was talking with my son Ocean and we saw 3 things very clearly:

1) Our current food system is a mess.
Large-scale industrialized food production is wreaking havoc on our forests, topsoil, air, water, and climate. Farm animals are being treated with incredible cruelty, and farm workers are often exploited. Genetically engineered "Frankenfoods" are being released, fundamentally untested, into the world on a vast scale. Meanwhile, people are eating more and more artificial food --getting fatter and sicker. In fact, more people are chronically ill than at any time in the history of the world.

2) Everyone has an opinion, but that doesn't mean every "expert" is knowledgeable... or truthful Despite an awesome volume of medical research that has come in over the last 60 years, the average physician receives only 2.5 hours of nutritional education in all their years of medical school. Advertisements try to sell us nutritional ideas, breakthrough gimmicks and pseudo-scientific diets that have little basis in reality. Many of these supposed "facts" are dangerously misleading, or just plain wrong.

3) People are rising up and making a change.
Today there's a huge growing demand for natural, organic, sustainable, fair trade, humane and healthy foods. In cities around the world, we're seeing more and more farmer's markets, and more young people getting back into farming. Grocery stores (even big national chains) are displaying local, natural and organic foods with pride. The global and local movements for healthy food have never been stronger.

Right now there are lots of people concerned about the future of food who want reliable, up to date information from sources they can trust.

We created this network as a way to help.

Sure, there have been thousands of books, conferences, documentaries and seminars on food.

But I'm proud to announce that this was the first virtual global food revolution summit, ever!

I have hand picked all the leaders and experts to bring you the best of the best.

I wanted to make this wealth of totally up-to-date information FREE to everyone, so sign up and tell your friends!

The Food Revolution Network is for you if...

  • You take care of your body and think the quality of your food matters
  • You want your children to have access to healthy food
  • You don't want to get cancer or have a heart attack
  • You like to shop at farmer's markets or to buy locally grown food
  • You're disturbed by factory farms and genetically engineered food
  • You love animals
  • You want to find out how what you eat connects to the health of the planet
  • You want your family and friends to eat better and don't know how to tell them without seeming like a nag
  • You love food - perhaps you're a bit of a foodie - or you love to cook!
  • You want to enjoy food you can trust - for a lifetime.

How does it work?

You have access to 3 highly focused half-hour interviews - personally conducted by me - on this site, streaming so you can start at any time. All you need is a decent speed internet connection (sorry, no satellite), and speakers hooked up to your computer. The three interviews rotate every week, so you can keep coming back to listen to a new batch. If you sign up for our list, weÕll email you every week with updates on our work, opportunities and invitations, useful tools and resources, and an overview of the interviews for the week ahead.

What if you miss an interview? No problem. There are recordings, transcripts, and many other resources that will be available as part of an optional empowerment package.

Never before has such a potent group of visionary leaders come together for a global summit on food.

And never before has it been this easy to access so much cutting edge, up-to-date information on this crucial topic!

Here's what's in it for you. You'll get...

  • Information and practical tips from modern day heroes of health and sustainability.
  • Extremely current answers to your burning questions.
  • Tools for talking with your family and peers.
  • Inspiration, useful insights, ideas, motivation and new understanding.
  • The opportunity to connect and dialogue with your peers all over the planet (more on how that works later) - without having to leave your home.
  • A deepened relationship with the food you love!

When voices are rising up everywhere to preserve access to healthy food, it's never been more important to roll up your sleeves, get involved, listen and be heard.

Please join us and invite your friends and family along!

Why a Food Revolution Network?

A tomato crossed with a... flounder?

What???

You probably already know that big agribusiness is genetically engineering your food - for a bottom line of more PROFITS.

They don't care about the long-term health problems these practices bring.

These corporations are filling your plate with chemicals, and spending billions marketing processed foods that get people addicted for life.

And their plans for profit are slowly poisoning your body.

Now it's time to find out how you and your family can LEARN MORE and take ACTION.

If you're already interested in eating well, this summit will share some groundbreaking new health-information that may surprise you.

Even if you're unfamiliar with what it means to eat healthy- there will be plenty of easy tips to get you feeling great about what you eat, and where it comes from.

Think about this:

Three-quarters of U.S. health care spending goes to treat chronic diseases, most of which are preventable and linked to the food you eat.

Can you believe that!!

And what are you going to DO about it?

This is one area in your life you can't afford to sit back and let other people make the decisions for you.

Because some of the people making the decisions are LYING TO YOU, and profiting from it.

It's true that the single most effective step you can take to improve your health is to eat a healthier diet.

And you have a right to the TRUTH, with no corporate deception trying to stuff its pockets with money at your expense.

The time is now to:

  • GET INFORMED
  • MAKE CHOICES THAT EMPOWER YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR WORLD
  • STOP BEING USED AS A PAWN FOR CORPORATE GREED
  • PUT AN END TO FOOD DECEPTIONS
  • TAKE BACK YOUR RIGHT TO HEALTHY FOOD AND TRUTHFUL INFORMATION ABOUT IT
