Behind the Greens

摘要

John Robbins grew up in Southern California with a mapped-out future: His father was Irv Robbins of ice cream giant Baskin-Robbins, and was grooming him to take over the family business. But John had a change of heart that led him to shun animal products and, eventually, to turn down his family fortune. Instead, he became one of the world's leading experts on the relationship between diet and the environment. From his bestseller Diet for a New America (HJ Kramer) to his latest book, The New Good Life (Ballantine Books), Robbins has helped Americans realize the potential plant-based diets have for improving personal and global well-being.
