John Robbins, heir to the Baskin-Robbins ice cream fortune, literally walked away from the money and the company to make a difference in our world. And make a difference is exactly what John Robbins has done, first with his book Diet for a New America, then with his new The Food Revolution: How your Diet Can help Save your Life and the World. John Robbins presents an abundance of facts and statistics the food industry works hard to hide. You will cry; you will cringe; you will anger; you will hope, but you will never look at your food, your health, or your planet in the same way again. Statistics, quotes, personal experiences, and excellent narrative make a book that is hard to put down, even to a long-time advocate of healthy diets and/or environmentalist. Robbins writes, "I believe the time has come to take a stand. There will always be more to learn, and there will always be studies that seem to conflict with each other. We can wait for 100 percent certainty, but people will continue to suffer and die by the millions while we split hairs." |
