by John Robbins
Review by Erin Pavlina

John Robbins was heir to the Baskin-Robbins empire but he chose a different way of life. In his book, Diet For A New America, Robbins reveals the truth behind the practices of the meat and dairy industries.

Compassionate, honest, and aggressive, Robbins holds nothing back. He tells all in this ground-breaking book that is one of the most important books of the 20th century. Robbins begins the book with a compassionate look at animals, their behavior, intelligence, and love for people and their own kind. He then launches into a revelation of how "food" animals are treated and destroyed so they can end up on the plate of Americans. Next he covers the health issues associated with eating meat and dairy products and how much healthier Americans would be by adopting a plant based diet. And finally, he discusses the impact on the environment of eating animals.

I'm glad I read this book AFTER I became a vegan because it would have frightened and sickened me otherwise. As it was, it helped solidify my reasons for becoming and remaining a vegan. I have shared this book with many friends and family and all of them have been impacted by its message.

I have read Diet For A New America several times as I always learn (and remember) something new, some piece of information I can share with others in the hopes that they too will adopt a more compassionate way of eating. If you haven't read it yet, please read it. It will change your life.
