The Food Revolution: Making Healthy, Environmentally Sound Food Choices

Celsias has a great article on food, health and environment. Our Food, Our World is part of an ongoing series by John Robbins who is author of the book The Food Revolution: How Your Diet Can Help Save Your Life and Our World.

While there are many authors and experts who have valuable insight into how food affects our bodies, our minds, our families and our environment, Robbins has a unique view. He is the son of Irv Robbins and nephew of Burt Baskins, the founders of Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors.

His perspective on food, health and environment is both as an insider to the industry and as someone who walked away from what could’ve been a very lucrative future to be an advocate for people and the environment.

The book and correlating articles on Celsias have been called an “environmental manifesto” and a “food bible” that will change the way you think about food and the way you eat. Plot spoiler: it is not for meat lovers. Instead it takes a hard look at the health benefits of a plant-based diet, the dangers of GMOs in food, dietary and environmental causes of cancer, how to avoid food-borne illness and solutions to world hunger.

If you are thinking about a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, this is the book that will push you over the line.
