Summary
In this powerful book, J. Morris Hicks tells us, gracefully and eloquently, why a mostly plant-based diet is the best choice you can make for yourself and for the planet. By adopting more whole plant foods and fewer animal products into your regular diet, you can enjoy vibrant health while greatly reducing your risk for diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. And, if everyone adopted this diet, we'd also see poverty levels, many environmental problems, health care costs, and the energy crisis improve.
Author Biography
A former senior corporate executive with Ralph Lauren in New York, J. Morris Hicks has always focused on the "big picture" when analyzing any issue. In 2002, after becoming curious about our "optimal diet," he began an intensive study of what we eat from a global perspective -- discovering many startling issues and opportunities along the way.
Leveraging his expertise in making complex things simple, he is now delivering his powerful message in his book, on his daily blog, and in public speaking engagements -- embarking on his new career as a writer, speaker, blogger, and consultant -- promoting health, hope, and harmony on planet Earth.
