About This Book
How Your Food Choices Affect Your Health, Happiness
and the Future of Life on Earth
From Publishers Weekly
This well-documented expose of America's "factory farms" should prompt even
die-hard meat-and-potatoes lovers to reevaluate their diets. Asserting that "we
are ingesting nightmares for breakfast, lunch and dinner," Robbins, who is
medical director of the California Institute for Health and Healing, details how
livestock is raised under increasingly industrialized conditions by
"agribusiness oligopolies." Grazing and foraging have given way to debeaking,
tail-docking, dehorning and castration, and treatment with pesticides, hormones,
growth and appetite stimulants, tranquilizers and antibioticswhich, in turn, are
assimilated by humans. The author correlates our "protein obsessed" society with
a higher incidence of arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis, cancer and other
degenerative diseases, as well as freakish occurrences like premature puberty
from estrogen contamination. As Robbins debunks nutritional myths perpetuated by
the powerful meat and dairy industries (indicting as well his family's
Baskin-Robbins ice-cream empire), this is sure to prove controversial.
Vegetarian Times magazine
From the outset of reading this volume I was enthralled. The book is a
pleasure to read, as engrossing as the most exciting novel. Yet this is no
novelit deals directly with the most important personal issues and decisions of
our lives. When I finished reading Diet for a New America, I knew that in my
hands lay one of the most profound studies ever written of how our eating habits
affect our lives, and indeed all of life on our planet . . . If you read only
one book this year, let it be this one.
