Summary

This book is all about the single most powerful move that humans can make to promote health, reduce obesity, lower the cost of health care, nurture our fragile environment, conserve our energy resources, feed the world’s steadily growing population, and greatly reduce the suffering of animals in factory farms all over the world. As Dr. T. Colin Campbell says, “It turns out that if we eat the way that promotes the best health for ourselves, we also promote the best health for the planet.”

Like a blinding flash of the obvious, the single most viable solution to all of these issues is an aggressive move in the direction of consuming much more whole, plantbased foods—not necessarily becoming vegetarian or vegan. This book clearly explains how and why we began eating the wrong food for our species and provides helpful guidelines for getting us back on the road to vibrant health and effortless weight loss.

Fortunately, despite the incredible complexity of our current dilemma, the solution is refreshingly simple. It merely requires educating yourself, making better choices in what you eat, and then sharing all that you have learned with everyone you care about. There has never been anything more important in the history of the world.

the push to commit

It is the book that has finally pushed to to commit to 100% plant base eating. I've been at 80% for a few years. My partner as well is 80% but now this should convince him.

Not really what I expected

What disappointed you about Healthy Eating, Healthy World?

I wasn't looking to become a vegan, only wanted to understand more about plant based food. I felt this book told me to not eat any animal products.

Would you ever listen to anything by J. Morris Hicks and J Stanfield Hicks again?

No

I’m on the fence with this book

I agree with many of the books points like the environmental impacts of factory farming and the unethical animal raising in those farms. The idea that of eating more vegetables and less meat and processed foods.

I also agree the western diet cause more problems than it solves. And the food industry needs to get more independent regulation

But I disagree with the point that human beings are not omnivores even primates example one should be honest about the fact that they eat insects as well and are not completely herbivores.

The ignorance of remote populations eating habits being completely vegetarian is false and problematic in how he conveys those points.

I guess my last point is about the books is that I thought the nutritional aspects would be the bulk of the book but it was vegan propaganda.

Personally I would recommend Diet Cults with you want a better view of nutrition and the anthropology behind it.

The book was published in 2011 so if the doom and gloom is weighing you down there have been some developments although we are nowhere close to an environmental utopia in fact we still need to be better we should lean into more sustainable energy, farming and transport practices.
