NOTES FROM THE PUBLISHER
Food Revolution Overview
First published in 2001, The Food Revolution is still one of the most frequently cited and talked about books of the food-politics revolution. It was one of the very first books to discuss the negative health effects of eating genetically modified foods and animal products of all kinds, to expose the dangers inherent in our factory farming system, and to advocate a completely plant-based diet.
The book garnered endorsements by everyone from Paul Hawken to Neal Donald Walsch, Marianne Williamson to Julia Butterfly Hill. After ten years in print, The Food Revolution is timelier than ever- and a very compelling read.

Editorial Reviews
“Robbins, the author of the classic Diet for a New America, believes that plant-based nutrition and particularly vegan diets. . .lead to long life and good health. Citing statistics, research studies, and selected quotes that extol the benefits of such diets, he also argues that animal products are responsible for such diseases as obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, and cancer. Robbins deplores the inadequate sanitation and inspection in meat-processing plants and argues that many of the illnesses and stomach ailments that people complain about the result of animal agriculture and the pathogens it introduces into our bodies. . .” – Irwin Weintraub, Brooklyn College Library, New York
