the modern diet. Our food habits are the hardest addictions we face.
Save your life. Save the World. Follow this book."
-James Redfield, author, The Celestine Prophecy
"A person who leads me to eat in a way that cultivates spiritual
awareness is my kind of prophet. John Robbins gives me a light at
the end of the tunnel as well as providing a moral compass. The
truth has few allies these days. I have deep respect for John Robbins
and join him in the belief that the way we eat has profound environmental
impact on our planet. Î think it's high time we had a food
revolution."
-Woody Harrelson, movie and TV star
"With his brilliant and sharp pen/sword, John Robbins punctures
the myths and lie balloons that lay millions of Americans in their
graves every year. The Food Revolution will tell you how to save
and extend your own life, show you how we can all easily work to
reduce suffering on Earth, and give you a vibrant and vital sensation
of life and health. This is one of those rare and truly transformational
books: buy it, read it, and share it with everybody you know!"

"Provocative and compelling, The Food Revolution delivers
one of the most important messages of our time. Presented with clarity
and conviction, Robbins leaves the reader sobered but inspired.

with their knives and forks to save themselves and the planet. Nothing
short of a call to action, this is a book to give to family, friends,
and colleagues. I highly recommend it."

personal choices with a concern for the environment. In my path
of being vegan, my body, mind, heart, and spirit have all healed
and grown stronger. And the incredible joy I receive from knowing
that I am lessening my impact on this beautiful planet fulfills
me in ways that a meat and dairy diet never could and never will."
-Julia Butterfly Hill, environmental activist, author, The Legacy
of Luna
"John Robbins has done it again. The Food Revolution is a
riveting sequel to Diet for a New America. I started reading it
and I couldn't put it down. I was especially impressed with the
chapters on genetic engineering. Robbins explains the situation
better than anyone I've ever heard. For the hundreds of thousands
of people like me, whose lives have been forever changed by Robbins'
work, The Food Revolution is a MUST-READ. The word revolution is
normally reserved in our society for guerrillas and telemarketers.
THIS revolution is ours. It's a simple choice in the foods we eat
that will have a radical effect on the world around us."
-Adam Werbach, Former President, Sierra Club

leaders."

Revolution is the most positive book of the decade."

of Animals (PETA)
"The Food Revolution provides a cornucopia of arresting and
revealing information. Robbins shows, in ways that both shock and
fascinate, how the food we produce functions as a fateful link between
our health as individuals and the health of the planet that gives
us life. Particularly powerful is his well-documented account of
the havoc wreaked by the "big cattle" industry on everything
from our arteries to our aquifers."
-Ed Ayres, editorial director, WorldWatch, author, God's Last
Offer
"Once again, John Robbins enables us to find our way through

family."
-Brent Blackwelder, President, Friends of the Earth
"In The Food Revolution, John Robbins points out that the
typical American diet is not only associated with adverse effects
on human health, but with the reprehensible treatment of animals
and irreparable harm to our land and water. Packed with startling
facts and provocative insights, The Food Revolution is compelling
reading for anyone interested in nutritonal health, the treatment
of animals, or even, simply, the fate of the planet!"
-David L. Katz, M.D., M.P.H., Yale University School of Medicine

comprehensive and sophisticated study on the political, ethical

the reader through advertising misconceptions to propaganda perpetuated

optimal health, you had better tune in to the messages in The Food
Revolution."
-Dave Scott, six-time Ironman Triathlon World Champion, first
inductee into the Ironman Hall of Fame, author, Dave Scott's Triathlon
Training

and provocative expose of the political, economic, and social realities
of our current food system. It challenges and inspires individuals
to accept responsibility for our choices and to take action for
positive change."

and Research
"John Robbins is a wise man. In his engaging new book, The
Food Revolution, John shares his wisdom in a way that touches our
heart and mind. He makes us feel good about eating in a compassionate
way that nurtures our body and soul. And his research into the dangers
of genetically engineered foods is must reading for anyone concerned
about health and the environment."
-Craig Winters, Executive Director, The Campaign to Label Genetically
Engineered Foods

book tells you how to vote, with your knife and fork, for a sustainable,
healthy, and humane world."
-Ronnie Cummins, National Director Organic Consumers Association,
co-author of Genetically Engineered Food
"John Robbins has scored again. His writing style is engaging
and sufficiently personal to make it MUST reading. And most importantly,
he connects the dots that need connecting--environment, personal
health, societal economics, and personal meaning. Scientific researchers
also would do well to read what Robbins says."
-Colin Campbell, Senior Science Advisor, American Institute for
Cancer Research, Professor of Nutritional Biochemistry, Cornell
University
"The Food Revolution is John Robbins' opening salvo of the
21st century to save our health and our planet. It is a review packed
with facts confirming how our health is held captive by the greed
of industry. It is a must read and an excellent review source."
-Caldwell Esselstyn, M.D., Preventative Cardiology Consultant,
The Cleveland Clinic
"John Robbins shows the seamless integration between our food
and our world. Diet and farming practices that are causing human
disease are hurting animals and the planet. Now, genetic engineering,
based on these damaging misunderstandings, is creating new dangers.
Robbins clearly shows that the sensible path to restoring personal
health is one with the path to restoring planetary health and with
restoring moral relations with other living creatures."
-Martha Herbert, M.D., Ph.D., Pediatric Neurology, Massachusetts
General Hospital, Vice-chair, Council for Responsible Genetics,
Instructor in Neurology, Harvard Medical School
