Synopsis
In this acclaimed work, author John Robbins, the son of the founder of the Baskin-Robbins ice cream company, reveals the barbaric and unsanitary conditions of American slaughter and dairy houses. He also addresses the large-scale ecological and health problems that are caused by Americans' obsession with high-protein diets. He shares studies that debunk popular myths--such as the belief that meat consumption is mandatory for optimum health--that are perpetuated by the meat and dairy industries. By exposing these reports and sharing his insider's experience, Robbins builds a strong case for becoming a vegetarian.

    This is perhaps the most inspirational and moving piece of work on the topic of ethical and sensible eating as I have EVER read - and I have read hundreds. John Robbins, aside from being morally irreproachable, writes as he would speak, in an interesting and non-condescending manner that anyone can enjoy and get something out of. Make no mistake - reading this book will change your life for the better. No one can read Diet for a New America and go back to living and eating in a disconnected way. Do yourself a favor and buy a copy - you can only benefit!
