John Robbins (born October 26, 1947) is an American author, and a pioneer popularizing the linkages between agriculture, health and the environment. He is the son of Irma Robbins and Baskin-Robbins co-founder Irv Robbins. He graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1969, and received a Master's Degree from Antioch College, in 1976. Rather than following the ice-cream parlor legacy of his father, he left the company to seek a life he found more rewarding. He and his wife Deo were married on March 10, 1967.[1] Robbins advocates a plant-based diet for personal and environmental health. In 1987, he wrote Diet for a New America, an exposé on connections between diet, physical health, animal cruelty, and environmentalism. He updated these ideas in his 2001 book The Food Revolution, which includes information on organic food, genetically modified food, and factory farming. His 2006 book Healthy at 100, published by Random House, was printed on 100% post-consumer non-chlorine bleached paper, a first for a book from a major U.S. publisher.
His 1987 book Diet for a New America advocates a "plant-based," vegan diet and contains Robbins's opinions on the meat and dairy industries, world hunger and human health.

Stay in control this festive season with these tips from Ms Pooja Vig, nutritionist at The Nutrition Clinic, and Madam Koay Saw Lan, head of dietetics and nutrition services at Singapore General Hospital.
1: Eat regular meals throughout the day. Do not skip a meal because you want to 'save space' for the big dinner you have been invited to.
2: Eat a healthy snack like an apple before you go out for a meal. You tend to order more than necessary if you are hungry.
3: Alternatively, take a fibre supplement before going out. Soluble fibre forms a gel-like substance in the gut, which is believed to be able to absorb extra fat and sugar from food.
Thus, blood sugar levels rise at a slower rate. Some of the sugar stays within the gel and is carried out of the body as waste. Some fat and cholesterol are also absorbed by the gel and carried out of the body.
4: Be mindful of finger food. A few samosas, fried spring rolls or mini-quiches add up quickly to your fat and calorie intake. Stick with food that requires utensils as we eat finger food faster than food which requires a fork.
5: Avoid cookies, cakes and chips while socialising as you will be unwittingly consuming more calories and fats.
6: Eat slowly. It takes 20 minutes for the brain to realise that you are no longer hungry. So refrain from having second helpings for at least 20minutes.
7: Use smaller serving spoons and plates. A 2006 study, Ice Cream Illusions: Bowls, Spoons, And Self-Served Portions, conducted by Cornell University, found that the bigger the bowl and serving spoon, the more ice cream people tended to eat.
8: Start with the healthiest items so you will feel full and not be tempted to sample the less healthy ones.
9: When having dessert, eat something that has dark chocolate. It is the best way to satisfy your sweet tooth without too much sugar. Dark chocolate contains less sugar.
10: Instead of having a full glass of wine, mix half a glass of wine with sparkling water or diet cola. This reduces the calories by half.
“Don't take your eyes and vision for granted. Take care of your eyes. Eat a healthy diet rich in fruit and green vegetables. Consider regular eye screening at least once a year if you are 50 years and older. Consult an ophthalmologist early if you have any eye symptoms. And, of course, do not smoke, “ said Ophthalmologist Dr. Ajeet Madhav Wagle, 39, associate consultant at the department of ophthalmology and visual sciences at Alexandra Hospital of Singapore in his interview with POON CHIAN HUI as reported in Mind Your Body of the Straits Times dated 24th December 2009.
