get slender and they don't stay slender long term. The average

John Robbins shares his dispatches from the front lines of the food
revolution - from his undercover investigations of feed lots and
slaughterhouses, to the rise of food contamination, the slave trade
behind chocolate and coffee, and the effects of hormones on animals
and animal products.
Why do some people age in failing health and sadness, while others
grow old with vitality and joy?
"
"In this revolutionary book, bestselling author John Robbins
presents us with a bold new paradigm of aging, showing us how we
can increase not only our lifespan but also our health span.
Through the example of four very different cultures that have the
distinction of producing some of the world's healthiest, oldest
people, Robbins reveals the secrets for living an extended and
fulfilling life in which our later years become a period of wisdom,
vitality, and happiness. From Abkhasia in the Caucasus south of
Russia, where age is beauty, and Vilcabamba in the Andes of South
America, where laughter is the greatest medicine, to Hunza in
Central Asia, where dance is ageless, and finally the southern
Japanese islands of Okinawa, the modern Shangri-la, where people
regularly live beyond a century, Robbins examines how the unique
lifestyles of these peoples can influence and improve our own.
Bringing the traditions of these ancient and vibrantly healthy
cultures together with the latest breakthroughs in medical science,
Robbins reveals that, remarkably, they both point in the same
direction. The result is an inspirational synthesis of years of
research into healthy aging in which Robbins has isolated the
characteristics that will enable us to live long and-most
important-joyous lives. With an emphasis on simple, wholesome, but
satisfying fare, and the addition of a manageable daily exercise
routine, many people can experience great improvement in the
quality of their lives now and for many years to come. But perhaps
more surprising is Robbins' discovery that it is not diet and
exercise alone that helps people to live well past one hundred. The
quality of personal relationships is enormously important. With
startling medical evidence about the effects of our interactions
with others, Robbins asserts that loneliness has more impact on
lifespan than such known vices as smoking. There is clearly a
strong beneficial power to love and connection.
"We all have the tools to live longer lives, and to remain active,
productive, and resourceful until the very end," Robbins writes.
"Healthy at 100" strives to improve both the quality and the
quantity of our remaining years-no matter how old or how healthy we
might currently be-and to reverse the social stigma on aging. After
reading this book, we will never think about age-or life-in the
same way again.
"John Robbins has inspired millions of people with his eloquent,
clear, compassionate, and insightful guidance on the path to health
and fulfillment. Healthy at 100 may be his finest work to date. If
you are interested in extending your health span as well as your
life span, read this book Healthy at 100 is a masterpiece."
-Dean Ornish, M.D., president and director of the Preventive
Medicine Research Institute, author of "Dr. Dean Ornish's Program
for Reversing Heart Disease"
"This is a remarkably open and heartfelt book full of wisdom and
love by an extraordinary man who has been teaching us how to live
more healthy and compassionate lives for over twenty years now.
John Robbins has created a new vision of aging for American
society."
-John Mackey, CEO, "Whole Foods"
"John Robbins is one of the most important voices in America today.
He cuts through nonsense like no one else does. He gives hope like
no one else does. His words are lifelines for both the body and
soul. This book can literally save our lives."
-Marianne Williamson, author of "A Return to Love "and "A Woman's
Worth"
"Healthy at 100 is a marvelous blend of wisdom, hope, courage, and
common sense. John Robbins gives us caring, science, and
inspiration-a beautiful diet for the heart."
-Jack Kornfield, co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society and
Spirit Rock, author of "A Path with Heart"
"As the low-carb diet craze is gone, John Robbins proposes a far
healthier approach that leads not just to a healthy weight but also
to a joyful and fulfilled life. Healthy at 100 is packed with
informed and heartfelt wisdom."
-Jorge Cruise, author of "The 3-Hour Diet," creator of

Plant-Based Diet Benefits You Should Not Ignore “If every patient
in every doctor's office read this book, it would revolutionize the
health of America.” —Neal Barnard, MD, president of the
Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine #1 Bestseller in
Agriculture & Food Policy, Vegetables, Special Diet, Vegan
& Vegetarian, Healthy Living, Personal Health, and Diets &
Weight Loss A book from the over-one-million-copies-sold author who
made popular the connections between diet, physical health, animal
cruelty, and environmentalism. A revolution in food-politics. When
John Robbins released an early version of this book in 1987, he
took the first steps in the food revolution. His insight into the
harm caused by America’s eating habits was a wake-up call for
many. Making conscious food choices. It is obvious to us that what
we eat affects our bodies, but what we may not realize is that what
we eat also affects our world. In fact, most of the foods that are
bad for us (think genetically modified products) also negatively
impact our environment. By approaching our eating habits with
intentionality, we benefit our own health and that of the world we
live in. Plant-based diet benefits. Arguments for a plant-based
diet are compelling and backed by over 20 years of work by Robbins
focused on the subject of conscious eating. Exposing the dangers in
our factory farming system, Robbins makes a definitive case for
solely plant-based eating. This timely read on healthy eating will
enlighten those curious about plant-based diets and fortify the
mindsets of the already converted. Read The Food Revolution and
discover: The negative effects of your current eating habits A
powerful case for plant-based eating Wisdom from one of the most
frequently cited books of the food-politics revolution If you have
read books such as We are the Weather, How Not to Die, 31-Day Food
Revolution, or Fast Food Genocide, then The Food Revolution is a
must read!

Hand Of Fingers collects comics and short stories by John Robbins

Millions of people realize that their food choices can help-or
hurt-the earth. They want to reduce their "food footprint," but
with so many decisions to make (omnivore or vegetarian, organic or
conventional, local or global), how is a busy person to navigate
all the possibilities? The Green Foodprint: Food Choices for
Healthy People and a Healthy Planet is a concise, easy-to-read, and
practical guide through the new world of healthful food that is
also easier on the environment. The book is packed with inspiring
facts and stories about how readers can make a big difference with
a few wise decisions. Appealing to a wide range of readers and
eaters, The Green Foodprint describes five memorable guidelines,
and the many healthful, earth-friendly options available within
each guideline. Against the background of a flawed industrial food
system, the book highlights positive changes and the power of
citizens to help themselves and the earth with their food choices.
Likely audiences include people interested in sustainability,
students and educators at all levels from middle school through
university, health care providers, nutritionists, people concerned
about their health, environmentalists, journalists, foodies, animal
lovers, vegetarians, and parents of young children.Why is this book
unique? Trade books on the environment fall into two broad
categories: long, detailed narratives, exposes, or descriptions of
specific industries; and lifestyle overview surveys that offer
checklists for actions individuals can take. The former tend to be
very detailed and depressing, leaving readers to deduce what to do.
The latter tend to be superficial and try to cover too many aspects
of American life. The Green Foodprint combines the best of both. It
covers one domain-food-and shows how readers can make
earth-friendly choices that have proven results. The book gives
them enough information so they can appreciate the challenges we
face, and also lists specific actions they can take. Rather than
preaching a single approach, the book offers assurance that there
are many earth-friendly food options and the encouragement to
select the ones that make the most sense for each individual
reader. Set off in an easy-to-read format are dozens of inspiring
vignettes of real individuals and groups that are healing our food
world.155 pages, plus sources and index. Second edition (new
title). Foreword by John Robbins, author of the groundbreaking book
The Food Revolution. The Green Foodprint is highly recommended by
experts in the worlds of food, environment, and health.
