WHAT THE PRESS
AND WELL KNOWN AUTHORS HAVE SAID ABOUT DIET FOR A NEW AMERICA
Washington Post:
"Profoundly fulfilling and moving...the pioneering match of
Aldo Leopold's Sand County Almanac, John Rawls' A Theory of Justice,
and Rachel Carson's Silent Spring."
Las Vegas Sun:
"John Robbins has written a most extraordinary, compelling
book, one bound to shake our innermost core. Diet For A New America
is a must for anyone concerned about ecology, health and life."
Harvey and Marilyn Diamond, authors of Fit For Life:
"We never recommend other books ahead of our own; but we do
with Diet For A New America. It is clearly one of the most important
documents of the 20th Century."
Frances Moore Lappe, Author, Diet For A Small Planet:
"In a tender not strident voice, Robbins shows us why a humane
society cannot be built upon an inhumane system of food production.
Robbins does not play upon our guilt but shows us how our well-being
is linked to the developmenbt of radically new sensibilities to
non-human life. I promise you -- what you perceive behind the supermarket
meat counter will never be the same after reading Diet For A New
America."
Dr. John McDougall, Author, The McDougall Plan, McDougall's
Medicine, etc:
"Diet For A New America is excellent! I can't speak highly
enough of it. This book is a breakthrough in the science of health
and a joy to read. No one who suffers (or whose loved ones suffer)
from the diseases of our time can afford to ignore this potent message.
In a captivating style, John Robbins shows us how to create heatlh
for ourselves, our children, and the world we live in."
Laura Huxley, author of This Timeless Moment, Between Heaven
And Earth, etc., and wife of Aldous Huxley:
"Diet For A New America will vitalize the awakening of America.
This easy to read yet mind boggling book has its place in the kitchen,
in the doctor's office, and in every classroom, from pre-school
to university. For those involved in ecological and political issues
this book is a must; so it is for all of us who long for a practical
economical way to foster a sane, ethical and loving world."
Ram Dass, author Be Here Now, Grist For The Mill, etc.:
"When our cultural dietary habits are examined in the unblinking
lights of compassion and rationality, the habits must and will change.
While these habits will die hard in most of us, John Robbins' extraordinary
book, which points out in an uncompromising fashion that these habits
are killing us in spirit and body, leaves little doubt as to the
inevitable course of our action."
Gary Zukav, author The Dancing Wu Li Masters, The Seat of the
Soul, etc.:
"Diet For A New America is a powerful tool on the journey towards
consciousness and compassion. I recommend it without reservation,
and hope that many, many people read it."
Jack Schwarz, president Aletheia Psycho-Physical Foundation,
author of many books on holistic healing:
"Diet For A New America is a masterpiece, like a fresh breath
among the many publishings on the subject of diet and nutrition.
Provocative and stimulating, it is a much needed tool to be included
in every health education program."
Bradley Miller, Director, Humane Farming Association:
"Once every decade or so a book arrives that changes the course
of a generation. Diet For A New America is the book of this decade.
Robbins has written a book that rings with clarity and unflinching
truth, and possesses an awesome power to enable people to take charge
of their own destinies. In my many years of working for the welfare
of all species and the environment, I have never seen a book so
capable of effecting change. This is the book that we have been
waiting for. Diet For A New America is a true masterpiece."
Cleveland Amory, author The Cat Who Came For Christmas, etc:
"Every so often a book comes along which has the capacity to
awaken the conscience of a nation. Silent Spring was one such book;
John Robbins's volume is destined to be another. With consumate
intelligence, thoroughness and skill, Robbins takes us on a multi-faceted
journey which should cause all senstive people to question their
eating habits most searchingly. I couldn't put it down."
Dr. Michael Fox, Scientific Director, The Humane Society of
the United States:
"This well-researched and fully documented book should be read
by all who care not only for their health, but for life itself;
and for their children and the generations to come."
Helen Nearing, author Living The Good Life, etc:
"Diet For A New America is eminently readable and reasonable.
Backed by prodigious research, well-presented, it points the way
out of the horrible dilemmas facing mankind in the not-too-distant
future. A magnificent and inspiring work."
Dr. Andrew Weil, author, The Natural Mind, Health and Healing,
etc.:
"Diet For A New America is a powerful indictment of our dietary
practices that should be read by everyone interested in healthy
living. It is a well-researched, well-documented, and eye-opening
account of the myths and truths about meat, milk, fat and protein.
I will recommend this book to patients, friends and relatives."
Jim Mason, author Animal Factories:
"Diet For a New America is the best book ever written on the
subject of using animals for food. I wish I had written it myself.
I was especially moved by the way Robbins opens up the subject by
writing about animals as living, feeling, beings."
Lewis Regenstein, author The Politics of Extinction, Living
In America the Poisoned, etc.:
"This is one of those rare and wonderful books that are enjoyable,
fascinating and amusing -- yet deadly serious and important. It
makes easy reading, but its subject could not be more timely and
relevant to the major issues of the day. The book's eloquently articulated
message is doing much to awaken the nation. This is quite possibly
the most important book of our times."
Ken Carey, author The Starseed Transmissions, Return of the
Bird Tribes, etc.:
"Diet For A New America is an articulate cry from our collective
conscience. A real eye-opener, excellent, sensitive and comprehensive.
A book that I am really happy to support."
Joan Holmes, Executive Director of The Hunger Project:
"Most useful and thought-provoking. The exposition of the link
between our eating habits and the onset of degenerative diseases
is extraordinarily well documented and researched. At the same time
the information is presented in an insightful and empowering way.
Very moving..."
Dan Millman, author The Way of The Peaceful Warrior, The Sacred
Journey of the Peaceful Warrior, etc:
"Diet For A New America is the best book I've read in the last
ten years, maybe ever. It is the most important book of our generation."
