"I am grateful for this powerful and cogent book. It has stretched my thinking (and heart) about animals, compassion, and our society and will probably be catalytic in furthering my personal growth."—John Mackey, Founder and C.E.O., Whole Foods, Inc.

"The World Peace Diet is one of the most provocative books I've ever read. I felt challenged and stimulated by its profound insights, and called to question ever more deeply what Will Tuttle calls 'the taboo against knowing who you eat.' This is a deep book, aglow with insights that penetrate and expose the complacency of a culture that has strayed painfully far from compassion."—John Robbins, author, Diet For A New America, and The Food Revolution

"Stripping away delusions and rationalizations, The World Peace Diet powerfully presents the connections between our current food choices and so many of the problems we face with our health, our environment, our politics, our society—and our spirits. Dr. Tuttle provides the understanding of why and how a change to a truly health supporting—and life affirming—way of eating can enable us to thrive as individuals—and to survive as a society.

"Profound, passionate—and ultimately hopeful and inspiring—Will Tuttle's The World Peace Diet should be required reading for students everywhere—and for all people with inquiring minds and open hearts. I recommend it most highly."—Michael Klaper, M.D., author, Vegan Nutrition

"Will Tuttle brings a priceless perspective—not only to the planetary crisis confronting us all, but also to powerful ways we each can affect it. This book is radiant with his learning and his compassion."—Joanna Macy, author, Coming Back to Life

"Complete, compassionate, and profound. You'll never again take lightly the question 'What's for dinner?'"—Victoria Moran, author, Creating a Charmed Life

"The World Peace Diet is outstanding. It has raised the bar in the understanding of the diet in the order of all life on planet Earth. Reading this book will arm you with the information to become part of the solution and not part of the problem. Will Tuttle has struck a strong blow for the future of our children and grandchildren, and you can too by reading his book."—Howard F. Lyman, LL.D., author, No More Bull! and Mad Cowboy

"Will Tuttle has written a provocative book that provides much food for thought. His impassioned writing not only provides the moral framework for a peaceful diet, but also hope for a peaceful world."—Zoe Weil, President, International Institute for Humane Education; author, Above All, Be Kind and The Power and Promise of Humane Education

"As Gandhi observed, our fork can be a weapon of violence. Will Tuttle reminds us of this simple truth and invites us to keep violence off our plate by adopting a vegan way of being in the world. Everyone who works for peace will gain knowledge and draw inspiration from this fine book."—Tom Regan, author, Empty Cages: Facing the Challenge of Animal Rights

"Without a doubt, The World Peace Diet expresses the heart and soul of the animal liberation and compassionate living movement. Will's astonishing insights prove so beautifully how inextricably linked is the suffering of animals with the war, violence and terrorism now ravaging our earth.

"This is one of those 'necessary' books. It is necessary that all people read it. It is a necessary catalyst for the transformation of human consciousness as it evolves from the domination and exploitation mindset to the paradigm of communion, cooperation, and reverence for all life. It casts a bright and warm light on the precious web of life and will open many hearts and minds to the joy of living a life of compassion and communion with all life."—Judy Carman, author, Peace to All Beings
#1 Amazon Bestseller!

Food is our most intimate and telling connection both with the living natural order and with our living cultural heritage. By eating the plants and animals of our earth, we literally incorporate them. It is also through this act of eating that we partake of our culture's values and paradigms at the most primal levels. It is becoming increasingly obvious, however, that the choices we make about our food are leading to environmental degradation, enormous human health problems, and unimaginable cruelty toward our fellow creatures.

Incorporating systems theory, teachings from mythology and religions, and the human sciences, The World Peace Diet presents the outlines of a more empowering understanding of our world, based on a comprehension of the far-reaching implications of our food choices and the worldview those choices reflect and mandate. The author offers a set of universal principles for all people of conscience, from any religious tradition, that they can follow to reconnect with what we are eating, what was required to get it on our plate, and what happens after it leaves our plates.

The World Peace Diet suggests how we as a species might move our consciousness forward so that we can be more free, more intelligent, more loving, and happier in the choices we make.

Now includes a full index.
