Review "John Robbins is one of the most important voices in America today, and the most powerfully sane man I know. He cuts through nonsense like no one else does. He delivers crucial information like no one else does. He gives hope like no one else does. His words are lifelines for the mind, heart, body and soul. When the going gets rough, Robbins' wisdom is what people need to see them through." -- Marianne Williamson, author of A Return to Love and A Woman's Worth ― Reviews "This compilation of previously published essays, along with some new material, by bestselling author Robbins ( The Food Revolution: How Your Diet Can Help Save Your Life and Our World) examines the physical, social, economical, and environmental effects of industrialized food production. While a longtime promoter of a varied, plantbased diet, Robbins acknowledges that many people also want to eat animal products; for that audience, he espouses the benefits of supporting humane, natural farming practices that promote sustainability while providing nutritious, affordable food for everyone. The book's title derives from Robbins's lawsuit with PETA against the California Milk Board's "Happy Cows Come from California" advertising campaign. He discusses largescale agribusinesses, misleading advertisements, food labeling, and government regulations of agriculture, all while providing information for his claims and deftly avoiding steamrolling readers with technical language or invective.Verdict: Robbins sounds like a close friend who is very passionate about his cause. Like a good pal, he encourages readers to make informed choices about what they consume and how they spend their money. He believes even small steps can have big impacts if more people join his food revolution." -- Meagan Storey, Virginia Beach, Library Journal, May 4, 2012 ― Reviews "John Robbins has inspired a revolution, plain and simple. He saw things that were wrong in the food industry long before any of us did, and with his brilliant research and compelling insight, caused a seismic shift in the way we Americans behold our dinner plates. This book is not only clarifying in terms of the physical, environmental, and spiritual effects of food, but it is inspiring enough to cause material change." -Kathy Freston, New York Times bestselling author of Quantum Wellness and Veganist ― Reviews "John Robbins is the leading voice in the world for restoring humanity to its proper relationship with food, the Earth, and health." -- Paul Hawken, author of Natural Capitalism ― Reviews "Every so often, I come across a book of substance -- a masterpiece that enriches all aspects of my life.
