I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: John Robbins is the MAN! 

Robbins is the heir of the Baskin-Robbins fortune and bravely gave up hundreds of millions of dollars to devote his life to speaking out against meat and dairy. His books have changed lives (including this guys) and his words continue to inspire.

In Processed People: The Documentary John talks specifically about what’s wrong with the meat industry. He says: 

“Modern factory farming treats animals without any level of respect — in fact with contempt for their needs, for their instincts, for their well being on every level. And the degree of cruelty that’s involved in modern meat production is so severe. You don’t have to a vegetarian, you don’t have to be an animal rights activist to find it deplorable – to find it appalling — if you actually see what it is, how far it’s gone, how grotesque. ”

We second that statement…big time! 

Check out the clip below and then get your tush over to Amazon.com for a copy of every single book this guy has ever written. I’m not kidding you here — life-changing stuff!

    I truly admire him for walking away from millions because of his belief system. That is amazing and rare.

    I haven’t read his book “Healthy At 100″ myself.

    I have seen threads on message boards ( not the most reliable source of facts ) from people who have given second hand accounts about how some passages in his book promote using fish.

    Can anyone who has read his book comment on the veracity of this claim?

    He is a hero to me. Diet For A New America is what turned me vegan.

  • Whoever…

    And this is why I don’t consider humans to be superior to any other species whatsoever… In fact I don’t even have much respect for human life any more!
    How can anyone ‘work’ in places like that? They are not people! They are numb, insensitive monsters. And I couldn’t care less if they have to feed their families!!

    When I watch footage like the one in this video, it makes me wonder if humans are nothing but the most destructive virus on the planet. I mean, we do act like those organisms but at a large scale!!

    I really would love to join an organization like ALF – we would rescue all the animals and just burn down all the places where animals are abused… That would teach the monsters that make a huge profit out of killing animals!

    And videos like this one should be shown to kids in elementary schools so they could learn to respect all life and thus prevent them from becoming zombie meat eaters!!

    Diet For a New America is (also) what turned me into a vegan. I read about John Robbins in Men’s Fitness Magazine in 1991, immediateley purchased the Book and read it from front to back several times. I still have the book, and written inside is the day I became a vegan.
