Summary: The Food Revolution- An Awakening!
Comment: If you can read this book and not think twice about your next meal- you must be dead. John Robbins, in his most convincing book yet, spells out all the reasons even the most avid meat eater can't dispute.
Have you ever tried one of those new diets like the Zone or the famous Atkins plan? John Robbins explains exactly why they don't work and why they're dangerous- with life long results!
Children and adults alike are less able to fight off infections, the medical profession blames it on overprescribing antibiotics- but did you ever think it could be because of the food we eat? Oh yes! John tells all about how the meat and dairy industry insists on using antibiotics on the animals- why? Because they are so crowded, abused and sick from mistreatment- that a huge percentage carry deadly illnesses to pass onto the dinner plates! Do you want to risk that?
In details, reports, interviews, personal experiences, and scientific and medical backup- Mr. Robbins provides all the fact, mental visual horror, and life long compassion that everyone should have before they eat their next meal. James Cromwell from the movie Babe turned Vegan after his encounter with the factory farms.
I began with his book Diet for a new World, this new book helps me explain why I won't eat or buy any animal products-ever!
And do you know the result? I lost weight naturally and I feel amazing! I can look at animals in peace knowing I won't be causing them death or harm.
Force the factory farms to change. Make them be humane in their practices. More importantly- buy this book!
When you've read it- pass it on or buy friends and family their own copies. One person at a time, one family at a time- we can change whats going on. A huge thank you to John Robbins! Support his work- buy his books!

Summary: John has another MUST read winner
Comment: If (and the big word is IF) you are serious about changing poor eating habits and choices as well as looking at the bigger picture, and actually giving a damn about where your food choices come from, and who grows and often more important whether modern day slaves are used to harvest and/or process your food, then this book is one you need to read and in my opinion, need to own and use as a reference book.
The Great American Diet Roller-Coaster chapter is one that is timely, since recent 2001 research (reputable studies) show that America has reached an all time high obesity rate of over 60%. Healthy Heart, Healthy Life is a chapter that addresses personal responsibility and deals with the high cost of eating poorly, and especially a animal based diet.And the book overall is about how we in the developed world rape the third world and how our arrogance is going to kill us. Better yet, how our ignorance IS killing us.
Misery On The Menu, and A Healthy Plant-Based Dietchapters reminded me (and I do need reminding at times) that the meat, chicken, dairy products I see in the grocery store, are NOT always (or usually) raised in humane manner or as logic suggests, slaughtered in a humane manner. Hmmm "slaughtered in a humane manner" is a bit of an oxymoron isn't it? Something I learned our son is that the meat cases in the meat department of your local grocery store are called Meat Coffins. If that doesn't tell you what you are eating when you buy meat then nothing will.
I also am happy to see John Robbins addressing the whole new world and big business of genetically altered foods, that over years and decades could easily end up providing less food and food that isn't any better than the fast food garbage that one finds in their own communities we drives down main street. Where a fast food hamburger joint oozes the smell of animal fat into the air, and when obese people buy their drug of choice.

Summary: Sure The Argument are Great.
Comment: Yes any vegitarian can come up with great arguments as to why we should not eat meat,this book is no different. My reply to all people who have the ability to pick their diet is, meat eaters as well, "Don't you feel great that we live in a country that has a cornicopia of food, that we even have the ability to chose what we can and cannot eat?" I have been to many places in the world twhere food is very scarce. Because of who was governing their country, nothing else, was the reason there was no food. The Leaders of the country kept the food away from the masses, this is done as a way to controle the masses. Oh yes, how come a lot of the vegeterians I know smoke (which is way worse than meat} tell people to be vegeterians. Are they vegetarians because it's cool. Smoking is also cool(sarcasm).
My main point is that we in the US can pick any type of diet we want, we should be thankful for that.
