Feel Good Guru

All vegetarians, unless they’ve been vegetarian since birth, have a defining moment in their life where they stopped eating meat.

For myself, it was when I lived in Paris at sixteen as a “jeune fille au pair” and was fed twice a day with horse meat. Three months later, I looked in the mirror and realized I’d embodied the axiom “You are what you eat!”

For hundreds of thousands of people back in the late 80′s and early 90′s, that moment came from reading John Robbins’ “Diet for a New America”.

If you haven’t read what many consider to be the bible of vegetarianism, and if you care about your health, the health of the planet and your children’s future, Robbins’ updated version, “The Food Revolution” is not only a must-read, it’s a must-read-and-pass-on-to-loved ones.

The Food Revolution is the perfect companion to “Feel Good Fast” if you happen to be following the program here at Feel Good Guru. In it, you’ll find the answer to every question you’ve ever had about a vegetarian diet, backed by impeccable research and personal anecdotes by the man who grew up the son and heir to an ice cream empire (Baskin-Robbins).

You’ve heard, by now, or seen them on YouTube, the stories of shameful animal cruelty in factory farms; you’ve read studies proving higher incidence of heart disease and bowel cancer with meat consumption; you’ve heard the shocking facts unearthed in the recent UN study – that the livestock industry generates 18% more greenhouse gas emissions than transport; but did you know that nearly half the water consumed in America is used for livestock? That the amount of water that goes into a 1,000 pound steer would float a naval destroyer?

That fact alone blew me away.

After 25 years as a vegetarian, I’m not the one who needs to be convinced of the health benefits and the environmental benefits and the spiritual benefits, yet I still carry this book around like it’s the bible…Buy it here.
