Food Revolution: How Your Diet Can Help Save Your Life and Our World

by John Robbins

Red Wheel/Weiser | July 1, 2001 | Trade Paperback

In 1987, John Robbins published Diet for a New America, which was an early version of this book, and he started the food revolution. He continues to work tirelessly to promote conscious food choices more than 20 years later.

First published in 2001, The Food Revolution is still one of the most frequently cited and talked about books of the food-politics revolution. It was one of the very first books to discuss the negative health effects of eating genetically modified foods and animal products of all kinds, to expose the dangers inherent in our factory farming system, and to advocate a complete plant-based diet.

The book garnered endorsements by everyone from Paul Hawken to Neale Donald Walsch, Marianne Williamson to Julia Butterfly Hill. After ten years in print, The Food Revolution is timelier than ever--and a very compelling read.

The 10th anniversary edition has an updated, contemporary look and a new introduction by the author.

    Best book ever...

    This is possibly the best book that I have ever read in regards to veg*nism and the impact on all aspects...health, environment, ethics, etc. John robbins' writing style is excellent and the book is jam packed with eye opening facts and statistics and presented in a way that's thought provoking and interesting. I couldn't put this book down and have recommended it countless times. Excellent book.

    This book, along side 'Diet for A New America' and 'May All Be Fed' are the single most important books I have ever read. As a longtime vegetarian, the leap to veganism can be daunting. I would try to mentally block out where ice cream came from, and what eggs really were, in the name of convenience, ignorance, whatever. John Robbins offers a well researched and presented account of the many reasons why that isn't OK, and how important a pure vegetarian diet is for all facets of life. I recommend this book to everyone, it is life-changing.

    This book is excellent. John Robbins grandson of Ivy Robbins walked away from the ice cream chain of Baskin-Robbins. Burt Baskin, his uncle, died of a massive heart attack and his father was lucky enough to listen to John about what we are eating, which saved his life. A must read for anyone who does not know where our food comes from and the effects it has on our future health, animal life and our beautiful planet.

    A Must Read For Everyone

    Tim Gauthier

    9 years ago

    After reading this book it became frighteningly clear just how much power we have as a collective to preserve the beauty of our world, our individual health, and life for animals. This book is impeccably researched by a man who has no allegiance to any interest group but that of humankind. This could possibly be the most important book ever written in terms of the major social and planetary crises we are currently facing. Please read this book and pass it on to anyone you know who could benefit from being more compassionate, more healthy, and more aligned with the truth behind several of the industries that claim to be even remotely concerned with our health. The evidence from Mr. Robbins' research speaks for itself. You be the judge. Enjoy.
