The book " THE FOOD REVOLUTION " by John Robbins


On 29 december 2009 (at about 12.50 pm), I came across the book entitled "THE FOOD REVOLUTION " (ISBN-10: 1573247022 and N-13: 978-1573247023 ) during my surf on the internet. I am considering to buy this book.

THIS BOOK CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE. Find out the truth about popular diets, genetically modified foods, mad cow disease, and the health effects of what you eat. In this long-awaited and provocative book, best-selling author John Robbins exposes the dangers behind many of today's foods and reveals the extraordinary benefits of healthy alternatives. The Food Revolution will show you how to extend your life, increase your vibrancy and vitality, and take a stand for a more compassionate and sustainable world."

About: John Robbins

Info Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Robbins_(author)


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.
