The Food Revolution: How Your Diet Can Help Save Your Life and Our World
November 16, 2009
This is an important book; much like ‘Fast Food Nation’ it is a wake-up call for all consumers to pay attention to the impact of our collective diet on the planet.
This comes from a fascinating and dedicated man, heir to the Baskin-Robbins fortune, who turned his back on his family empire on principal.
This book is very detailed, tackling many global issues – famine, poverty, animal cruelty, genetic modification of foodstuffs, water shortages – with the very clear conclusion – we must change our eating habits, to save the world and our own lives.
It isn’t a vague book, but deals in specifics – for example, how many gallons of water a cow needs to produce a steak, and the local and broader impact of that consumption.
You should read this book. Especially if you don’t want to.
Recommended.
