    ‘How did ancient sages discover something that modern scientists missed?’

    Author Bill Tara comes to this book about taking back control of our health and the health of the planet with solid credentials. He has been a health counselor, teacher, entrepreneur, and creator of health education centers in Europe and North America, founding the Community Health Foundation in London, a Charitable Trust that was the largest natural health education center in the world, the Kushi Institute, and executive director of institute programs in London and in Boston, among other honors.

    The books on vegetarian diet, vegan, macrobiotics, and plant based nutrition are plentiful, but this book is unique in the manner in which Bill addresses concepts and questions many people share about the validity of ‘alternative nutrition’ – relying on plant based diet and forgoing animal based foods. His opening thoughts brace us for the content of this important book – ‘The very real crisis created by our food choices needs resolution and needs it quickly…nutrition is not simply an issue of the chemical features of our foods. Cultural and emotional factors often seem to outweigh logic and ethics…The modern diet produces disease and death, not only for humans but non-humans as well…’ And from this challenge, Bill opens windows to reality, nature, and the importance of truly understanding the complex marriage of nutrition and good health in a wholly accessible manner.

    The sections of this book address our current status of depending on refrigeration, supermarkets, chemical additives, and big business corporate influence for our decisions about what is correct nutrition and how that is changing by a revolution courtesy of women and a few brave doctors who are spearheading a new paradigm of health. Other sections discuss the impact of Oriental and folk medicine that respect the laws of nature, the ill effects of the modern diet on the planet, and an engrossing section on the possibilities of changing to ‘eating right’ as the newest discoveries in nutritional science, ecological concerns and vegan ethics purport.

    As Bill states, ‘By the end of this book, I hope you come to understand that you can not only create health for yourself and your family, but you can also contribute to a health world for all life on planet Earth.’ Given the depth of research and solid facts and guidance this book offers, this should become a resource for all – health professional students, scientists, nutrition counselors, dieticians, etc, but most important for everyone concerned about health and the survival of the planet. Highly recommended.
