Publisher's summary

From John Robbins, a new edition of the classic that awakened the conscience of a nation.

Since the 1987 publication of Diet for a New America, beef consumption in the United States has fallen a remarkable 19 percent. While many forces are contributing to this dramatic shift in our habits, Diet for a New America is considered to be one of the most important.

Diet for a New America is a startling examination of the food we currently buy and eat in the United States and the astounding moral, economic, and emotional price we pay for it.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

So important!

The quality and depth of this seminal work is exceptional, informative, troubling and also inspiring. The quality of the narration, however, did not match the tone of the book’s rich contents.

Great lessons for the world !

Mr Robbins points are valid and well documented, yet not enough folks know this important information. We need to continue to spread these facts stated here of why we must go plant based. After reading this book I feel great gratitude for his research .

A must for anyone considering going vegetarian or vegan

This book was recommended to me and even though it’s full of hard truth it has made an impact on me. It is a call to action and it’s hard to not make changes after listening to it.

This book is a must read - audible or hard copy

This book became a classic when it was written and still rings true. Given the state of the world now and the overwhelming crises we face, this book should be mandatory reading for everyone. From our health, to the horrors of animal factories, to the immanent collapse of our environment (by now apparent to everyone on earth) - the information presented in this book is imperative for everyone to hear.
(The narrator did well and easy to listen to also)

Wow…eye opening

This book should be required reading for all! This has reconfirmed my dedication to a plant based eating lifestyle not only for the animals being abused and my health, but also the environment. I learned so much from this book that I was never aware of. Thank you, John Robbins, for having the courage to share this information!
