Publisher's Summary

Here, the man who started the "food revolution" with the million-plus-selling Diet for a New America, boldly posits that, collectively, our personal diet can save ourselves and the world. If, according to chaos theory, the beating of a butterfly's wing can cause a hurricane in another part of the world, try this out for chaotic cause and effect: monarch butterflies are dying in droves due to genetically-engineered corn growing in the Midwest. There is also a direct correlation between the Big Mac in your hand and the mile-wide river now running across the North Pole. Learn the truth about foods we are eating that are, in Robbins' words, "unsafe on any plate."

Sensationalism and confirmation biased research

While I do agree on many topics and issues brought up in this book, it is lacking a proper range of scientific references on alternative points of view. It will do a poor job to either inform a person already briefly familiar with the topic (no new information that you haven't already heard anywhere else, few actionable advice outside of general "don't eat meat, dairy, GMO, etc."), or to change opinion of someone who is in favor of industrialized food production (due to the sensationalized approach to making arguments about how bad it is).

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
