Mini Book Review and Sunday Movies.

Now that our book has been out for two months, we’re beginning to get a lot of great feedback. And, it really feels good to be making a difference in people’s lives. Just this week, I received this email from Victoria, a young woman who had never even heard about our daily blog. This is one of the most gratifying messages that I have ever received:

Described recently by a meat-eating friend: "Simple, not too long, easy to read and compelling without being full of zealotry. It has influenced me to make some changes in my eating habits.

Hello Mr Hicks. My Name is Victoria. I just finished reading your book and I’m truly impressed by how much it got to me… all of it. I’m 29 years old and at 17, I used to weigh 207 lb (at my biggest). I am at 135 lb now, so obviously I was trying to eat healthy and work out for quite a while. But from what I’m learning lately; it was mostly just dieting, cutting out products from my eating routine, as opposed to healthy eating.

I reached my goal of losing weight and I don’t fluctuate but started craving more profound change than just being thin. So I started reading books about healthy eating. And I must have read about a dozen of them before I got to your book.

On the first chapter I quit drinking coffee… and I am unbelievably addicted to coffee… and I stopped eating meat right away. Basically I thought I was going to take it step by step… but the more I read your book, the more I realized that I don’t want to put that piece of salmon in my mouth anymore.

All I want to say (it certainly was for me) is that the way you wrote the book, it switched me to the goal of being vegan in a couple days of reading “Healthy Eating – Healthy World.” I read it everywhere now (I have it on my iBooks, so it is always with me). I even re-read a few chapters to understand it more.

You see, not a lot of people can put it in perspective so simply that you have no arguments against it. I am the person who just two weeks ago said to my friend that anyone who is vegan is absolutely crazy!! And I can’t understand why anyone would do that to themselves. Honestly, I don’t know how to tell her now — that I am adopting a vegan diet; ha ha.

But your book changed everything for me and I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for this. I wish all the best to you and your family. Best regards, Victoria

Sunday Movies. Now, once again, for your Sunday viewing pleasure; I am providing two very important movies. Just in case you haven’t seem them yet, get yourself some popcorn (or celery), and watch these great world-changing documentaries with your family (free). They are about 1.5 hours each and are likely to leave you feeling differently about the role of the human race on our precious planet.

An exceptionally well-done 2009 movie produced in France; has been seen by millions around the world, but not nearly enough Americans. Features aerial footage in 54 countries.

HOME — a great 2009 film; a powerful eye-opener
