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."
