Diet for a New America is the single most eloquent argument for a vegetarian lifestyle ever published.
In Section III, Robbins looks at the global implications of a meat-based Diet and concludes that the consumption of the resources necessary to produce meat is a major factor in our ecological crisis.
The author shows us that the high Health risk is unnecessary, and that the production, preparation, and consumption of Food can once again be a healthy process.
Section II challenges the belief that consuming meat is a requirement for Health by pointing our the vastly increased rate of disease caused by pesticides, hormones, additives, and other chemicals now a routine part of our Food production.
It becomes clear that the price we pay for our eating habits is measured in the suffering of animals, a suffering so extreme and needless that it disrupts our very place in the web of life.
In Section I, John Robbins takes an extraordinary look at our dependence on animals for Food and the inhumane conditions under which these animals are raised.
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.
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.
Since the 1987 publication of Diet for a New America, beef consumption in the United States has fallen a remarkable 19%.
