4.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating read that blows the lid on the food industry, 27 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This book sets out to tell the truth about today's food industry and its impact on our health and the environment. Beware though, once you've read it you may never eat another hamburger again - unless it's organic of course. It is not for the fainthearted however and contains damning and often disturbing information about factory farming methods that underlines the pain and suffering endured by livestock.

The book is broken down into sections on diet, the treatment of animals, the environment and genetic engineering. It is packed full of insightful information that has come out of recent research in the fields of nutrition, medicine, and agriculture.

Statements such as: 'two thirds of the food sold in US supermarkets are genetically modified' and '..the average North American consumes, per day, the rather staggering total of 53 teaspoons of sugar' highlight some of the problems perpetuated by the food industry.

This is a fascinating read which uncovers practices that we'd probably be happier not knowing about. Robbins obviously feels very passionately about his subject and the book conveys his sense of anger and outrage. It also makes a great case for organic food and should appeal to new customers as well as to the converted.

5.0 out of 5 stars a life changing book, 29 Oct 2005
By AB (Oxford) - See all my reviews
It is amazing how many people I have met who site John Robbins' previous classic book "Diet for a New America" as the book which has had the biggest influence on their life. This book is basically a rewritten, enlarged and updated version of "Diet for a New America". It explains the extreme benefits of adopting a whole foods plant based diet. He presents the scientific evidence supporting the multiple health benefits for eating this way, as well as the strong ethical reasons. It is above all a fascinating read, written by the person who was the sole heir to Baskin-Robbins, the world's largest ice cream company (he rejected it to live according to his own values). One also gets a deep sense of the immense compassion of the man through his writing. John Robbins is someone I would certainly want at the table of my fantasy dinner party! It would make for a lively and interesting conversation and hopefully the chef would be persuaded to prepare some wonderful healthy vegan food. By the way he never mentions the word vegan but that is what you will want to be if you read this book!
