Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is the most important book about food to date. That said, it is not a detailed dietary plan. It is an environmental manifesto, a factory farm expose, and the most up-to-date and scientifically sound presentation of: 1) the health benefits of a plant-based diet; 2) the pitfalls of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food and the biotech industry in general; 3) the underlying dietary and environmental causes of cancer; 4) the threat of food-borne illness and how it can be avoided; 5) the most humane solution to world hunger; 6) and the billions of dollars worth of PR lies the public is fed to counter the truth that might set us free. This book absolutely blew me away. Critically acclaimed author John Robbins earns full marks in terms of his passion to social justice, his unbridled commitment to quality scientific evidence, and highly-readable, compassionate, and straight-forward writing style. In every sense of the term, he has earned the title of "food prophet". For those of you who read and loved "The Food Revolution" I also recommend Frances Lappe's "Hope's Edge" and Erik Marcus's "Vegan" and "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Polen. Imperative reading. j.w.k.
