"Very interesting . . . and sad, too, to see these long-lived peoples going the way of the rest of the world who want to emulate the US in every way, especially the Western diet."
"Nothing earth shattering for me, but for the uninitiated it is terrific. Great info on other cultures. Great line...we have not extended the life span we have extended the dying process...along with many others."
"John Robbins is one of the most informative writers about the dangers of our diet to not only ourselves but our planet. He was heir to the Baskin Robbins ice cream company and walked away due to how harmful that type of food is.
This book centers on studies of groups and people around the world who live to incredibly old ages, full of vitality and health with no disease. Fascinating and inspiring."
"This book is a well though, well researched refreshing perspective on health. It is a well rounded perspective on healthy living and addresses issues of diet, physical activity and social relationships and stereotypes. It has changed the way that I see myself and also the overly processed, youth obsessed culture that we are drenched in. If ANYONE is looking to understand health, this book is a MUST read. I have found myself inspired on each page. I love it."
