A GREAT read for ANYONE!

My neighbor has been a vegetarian. One day we were talking and he gave me his copy. I later bought my copy. It has VERY interesting information, all given in a calm, seemingly scientific manner. He enjoys a fact vs fiction style. He often describes "things people say" and then goes on to use what seems to be pretty factual stuff to present a good case for going vegetarian. Even though I have not changed my eating style too much (I do enjoy a hamburger), there are many great points for us all to learn, whether vegetarian or not. For example, we need to address the meat handling and processing issues that he describes. We all would certainly do better by eating less meat and more grains, fruits and vegetables.

If you buy the book (and I do recommend you do), be sure to read the first part where he describes his family background. Note his last name. It is a very interesting story.

Most eye-opening book I read in 2009

Without a doubt the one of best books I have read in 2009. I would highly recommended it to anyone and am simply writing this short review in the hope that more people would give it a read. Originally I was led to this author from reading Anthony Robbins' Unlimited Power and found that much of Anthony Robbins' teachings on maximising physical energy comes from the research that John Robbins had been doing for the past two decades. Once you read this book I can guarantee your life and outlook on the world will never be the same - for the better!

I also suggest the Omnivore's Dilemna by Michael Pollan and Eat to Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. John is the most passionate, Dr. Joel the most reasoned. I listened to unabridged audiobooks of Omnivore and Food Revolution. Listenable as audiobooks, but both could be shorter and just as effective (or more so).

I can't make any fabulous claims for my own health after 4 years of being vegan and one of also being gluten free (in sympathy for a celiac relative). Guess you don't need books to get the "less calories, more exercise" message. I'm still working on implementing that.

Here, the man who started the "food revolution" with the million-plus-selling Diet for a New America, boldly posits that, collectively, our personal diet can save ourselves and the world. If, according to chaos theory, the beating of a butterfly's wing can cause a hurricane in another part of the world, try this out for chaotic cause and effect: monarch butterflies are dying in droves due to genetically-engineered corn growing in the Midwest. There is also a direct correlation between the Big Mac in your hand and the mile-wide river now running across the North Pole. Learn the truth about foods we are eating that are, in Robbins' words, "unsafe on any plate."
