"The China Study" - By T. Colin Campbell, PHD and Thomas M. Campbell II
"The most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted."
THE CHINA STUDY is the result of 20 years of research conducted at some of the world's leading medical research institutions. It presents a critique of and challenge to the medical establishment, calling into serious question our conventional nutritional beliefs and habits. In view of the facts that two-thirds of Americans are overweight and 15 million people in America suffer from diabetes, it is time for those conventions to be exposed. America spends more per capita for health care than any other society in the world, yet we are seeing an alarming increase in diseases which are the result of poor nutrition.

THE CHINA STUDY calls for changes in our dietary habits. These recommendations can lead to an immediate improvement in the health of individuals who follow them. The book presents a clear and concise message of hope as it dispels a multitude of health myths and misinformation.

"Diet for a New America" - By John Robbins

In Diet for a New America, John Robbins brilliantly documents that our food choices provide us with ways to enjoy life to the fullest, while making it possible that life itself might continue.

"Don't Eat This Book" - By Morgan Spurlock
Review from Publishers Weekly:  "Though he wasn't much of an activist before his month-long, McDonald's-eating experiment (documented in his film Super Size Me), Spurlock has since become a crusader for healthy eating. His passion is obvious in his book, which delves more deeply into the issues his film raised, focusing in particular on food industry lobbyists and youth-oriented advertising. His undisguised indignation at their manipulative tactics and his contempt for the often slothful modern American lifestyle rise inexorably as he reels off statistics about calorie content, chemical additives, lack of exercise and so on.

"Fast Food Nation" - By Eric Schlosser
Review from USA Today: "Fast Food Nation is the kind of book that you hope young people read because it demonstrates far better than any social studies class the need for government regulation, the unchecked power of multinational corporations and the importance of our everyday decisions."
