Diet for a New America: How Your Choices Affect Your Health, Happiness & the Future of Life on Earth

"This book empowers its reader with a knowledge only few possess about our relationship to our world through the choices we make about what we put in our mouths. It allows us to see the connection between what we eat; an activity we all partake of several times per day- and the enormous impact that this has on our own health, our fellow creatures, our local and global environments, our unborn generations, and indeed our economies. It is one the most important books ever written because it exposes the lies, deceit and 'newspeak' of those industries who force food choices upon us from our infancy, and empowers the reader to create a new relationship with our planet that will not only prolong our beautiful planet, but will prolong the reader's beautiful life. How many books can offer that- extra years of life! This book is a MUST READ, and once read serves as a loyal and rigid reference document."

"This book is just brilliant. I have read and reread it, quoted from it to my friends and used it in my work. This book puts eating into a wider context - where it belongs - and contains a perfect mixture of hard facts and amazing anecdotes. I particularly love the story about the elephant."

"This is one of the best books I have ever read. It is so much more than a health book, it clearly shows how our food choices affect the entire eco-system and ultimately the health of our beloved planet. At times it is moving and uplifting, at times deeply upsetting. (Some of it made me cry, anyway!) A truly inspirational and wonderful read."

"This is the best book I have ever read relating to why it is in out own best interests to be vegetarian, given where the world is at today. Not moralistic, nor rightous, just plain practical. Research shows the impact meat, and animal products have on many of the major diseases of today. Also shows the impact the meat and dairy industry has on the environment as well. A must read for anyone interested in your own or others health, or in making a difference to the planet."
