About this listen

Here, the man who started the "food revolution" with the million-plus-selling Diet for a New America, boldly posits that, collectively, our personal diet can save ourselves and the world. If, according to chaos theory, the beating of a butterfly's wing can cause a hurricane in another part of the world, try this out for chaotic cause and effect: monarch butterflies are dying in droves due to genetically-engineered corn growing in the Midwest. There is also a direct correlation between the Big Mac in your hand and the mile-wide river now running across the North Pole. Learn the truth about foods we are eating that are, in Robbins' words, "unsafe on any plate."

Great Book

Any additional comments?

This book literally changed my life when I first read it in early 2000. It should be required reading (or listening) for all. I also highly recommend the Food Revolution summits that John Robbins and his son Ocean hold. Knowledge is power.

Informative!

Read A Diet for a New America, when it came out put me on a path to becoming a vegetarian, this one is putting me on a path to becoming a vegan. It is eye opening to the global implications of a meat based diet. John Robbins is not only a really good writer but does great as a narrator!

Bill

Excellent book!! Eye-opening and informative. Even though it was written some time ago it still rings true in today'world. We need to make changes, not only for our own health but for the health of the world we live in. It appears very much like industrialized humans are the cancer on our planet. And if we don't change the way we think, eat and respect our environment then the human race will, for different reasons, follow the same path as the dinosaurs.

Great book, narration was flat

Great book. If you are vegan, thought of being one, or just in general care about animals or the planet and don’t want to see either ruined, then you will enjoy this book.

The narrator (author) reads most of the book, but there are other voices used for quotes from people or organizations, or citing research. I really like the multiple voices as it helps keep everything clear. My only gripe is every single voice, even the author, sound like a computer is reading it. Imagine Siri reading the book. No inflection, no varying speed or volume or excitement. All monotone. If they did a better job with narration this would have been one of my best books ever.

Still, John writes good.

Great info. Too extremist

Even when I think all the information in the book good and true, I didn't like how extremist and redundant it was at times.
