Synopsis

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 nineteen percent.

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.

Maybe it’s cliché to say that this book changed my life, but it really did - to the point where if we know each other irl, hit me up and I will buy a copy and send it to your home. I mean it.
