So much I never knew...

I know it sounds corny, but it is a life-changing book. I learned so much about what we eat and where our food comes from that I felt like I'd been living with my head in the sand for the past 30 years. I appreciated all of the references, and actually kept a 2nd bookmark at the back of the book because of the number of times I said to myself "no way!" and then looked for the reference to back up what he was saying.

In every chapter there was at least one thing that absolutely stunned me and made my jaw hit the ground. It was a fascinating read, and I finished it in only a few days.

The biggest thing I appreciated about the book is how comprehensive it is. I like that he discussed nutritional aspects, compassion for animals, benefits for the environment, etc. I initially became interested in vegetarianism out of compassion for animals, and wound up learning all of the other great reasons to go veg too. I kept raving about the book so much that my meat-eating husband has been reading it too, and actually said the other day, "You know....I could totally see myself becoming a vegetarian." Enough said!!

Update (10/10/08): Both my husband and I have been vegetarian now for 18 months and have never looked back!

Fabulous

This is a must read for anyone on this planet. Not only is it a great stand-alone book, it is also a great follow up to Diet for a New America.

Food Revolution is packed with up to date information that will both show you the simplicity of food and how it effects you and horrify you that people are not commonly taught this important information in their everyday lives.

Read it and share it with your loved ones. You'll be glad you did!

This Book Will Change How You Think About Your Food!!!!!!

This is an incredibly well researched book, and will change forever the way you relate to food. After reading this book I will NEVER put another bite of non-organic meat or dairy in mouth EVER. And my appetite for meat in general is pretty diminished. What you will read in this book is so important, it should be taught in schools. It should be mandatory reading for everyone. This is not an "anti-meat" book, it simply lifts the veil on "factory farming" and Big Agriculture for the general public to get an idea of what our supposed "farms" are up to in this country, and it is truly disturbing. Not only are there moral injustices happening that you would not believe possible, but the health implications of what is going on should make everyone with any sense in their brain stop eating meat unless they know where it comes from. What this book gives us that the original "Diet for a New America" did not is more information on genetic engineering, and the ever-increasing efforts of industry to get bigger, faster, cheaper...at what price?! Be an informed citizen and consumer! Read this book! Read this book, and then make up your mind. I guarantee you will never feel the same about food.

If you care about the world around you, this book will change your life.

Every once in a while, I come across a book that impacts the way that I think. This is one of those books.

Best gift given ever!

This is in my top 10 list for "best book I ever got as a gift".

This book opened my eyes and ming to truly being healthy and thinking about what I eat before I eat it.

The author is easy to understand and well spoken. You don't have to have a college degree in anything to understand where the author stands in his opinions about anything.

I will definitley give this book to other friends who are interested in living more happier - healthier lives.
