This careful examination of scientific studies finds that eating more plant foods and
fewer fatty animal products can lead to extra years of healthy living. Happily, that
same diet leads to much less food poisoning, water pollution, air pollution, and global
warming. And, because fewer cows, pigs, and chickens would need to be raised, there
would be less suffering on factory farms and in slaughterhouses.

What they’re saying about
Six Arguments for a Greener Diet … Six Arguments for a Greener Diet is an important book that deserves space on the shelf of anyone concerned about the well-being of their own person, other persons, other species, or the planet…I am rooting for the authors and would liike their arguments to carry the day. I am thoroughly persuaded that the health of people, and the planet, would improve were we all to eat a more plant-based diet. "Michael Jacobson offers a win-win proposition that we cannot ignore." "Six Arguments is extraordinarily well-researched and well-written in an engaging style,
and is graced by marvelous illustrations. It should be read by any person concerned about food, agriculture, health, environment, and animal welfare." "Any one of the six arguments presented in the book could stand alone as ample justification for moving toward a more plant-based diet. Put all of them together, and the case is simply overwhelming." "Six Arguments is a great description of the links between our diet and serious environmental and health problems. I hope that readers and policy makers will implement the book's many recommendations." "While there are serious differences of opinion about issues relating to the animal foods component of the American diet, the provocative policy discussions in this book should be must reading for anyone interested in the future of food and agriculture." "Six Arguments for a Greener Diet is a great guide to the powerful impact that our dietary choices — especially high meat consumption — have on our environmental footprint." |
