Diet for a New America
I am 2/3 finished with this book and I find it outstanding. All Americans should not only read this book, but realize the bad habits that the great American diet has caused to their bodies and this planet. Parents must read this book before forcing milk, milk products and meat products down the throats of their children. Had I read this book 7 years ago I might not be suffering with severe osteoporosis due to forcing dairy products into my body to give me enough calcium to build my bones...Instead, my bones have been depleted of the calicum that it needed. Also, I most likely would not have the high cholestrol levels that were acquired from the dairy products. America needs a wake-up call and this is one of those wake-up calls. I am no longer eating meat or dairy products.

Life changer
After hearing John Robbins interviewed on NPR probably 20 years ago, I bought this book. While reading it, I began making changes in my life, and within a year I was vegan and have been ever since. For me, his presentation was convincing in such a straight forward and compassionate way. Without trying to force his ideas, he uncovers an industry (when done at the farm factory level - not small family/organic farming) that is unhealthy for the environment, damages humanity, and supports a diet that doesn't do much good for our physical health. We have a lot more options now, with organic meats, no hormones, etc, but for me, leaving animals out of my diet is still the right choice.

EXCELLENT!
I am very satisfied with the book I received. I was provided prompt accurate information regarding my shipment and the book was in great condition!

Best. Book. Ever.
I read this book 20 years ago. Since then I've read several hundred books, but none more powerful than this. After reading this book, I turned vegetarian for three years. It took three years for the haunting images to dissipate enough for me to start eating meat. But I will never forget what I read. I recently started a blog concerning factory farms among other corporate badness: [...].

Just what American Needs
Just what kind of a diet does a new America need? According to John Robbins author of Diet for a New America, it is a vegetarian diet. In his book, which is slightly outdated having been published in 1987, he explains the lives of animals in factory farms, and as they spend their last moments moving down through the production line. The book is divided into three sections, which allows for an easy to read flow. In addition the book is complete with information regarding animal husbandry in today's society, how to maintain a healthy vegetarian diet, and the future of the environment. All of these come together to make a wonderful book, which you want to keep reading. The only downfall to the book is the amount of time that has passed since it was originally published. An updated version would be wonderful and great to look back to see if anything has really changed since Robbins first wrote Diet for a New America. Yet, with Robbins clear passion for the subject he is educating and the way that he writes really makes the book is worth reading. The book is really an eye opener for those that don't know much about the treatment of animals and should be read by every meat eater in America.
