John Robbins "The New Good Life"

John Robbins has released his latest book, The New Good Life: Living Better Than Ever In An Age Of Less, and VegNews has provided an exciting sneak peak as to what you’ll get should you choose to purchase a copy or borrow from your local library.

Robbins, who would have been the heir to the Baskin Robbins ice cream fortune, but chose to follow his ethics instead, writes he once took famous chef Julia Child to a farm that produced veal.

“Julia Child, the famous chef, author, and TV personality, used to dismiss vegetarians as sappy. But when, late in her life, I took her to visit a veal production facility, she was horrified by what she saw. “I had no idea it was so severe,” she told me.”

As evident from the title, Robbins wants readers to comprehend a different view of what “the good life” is about–instead of enormous homes that waste energy, regular expensive steak dinners at gourmet restaurants and other “status” symbols previously created by society, he’d like us to think of the good life as one that requires us to live a sustainable and compassionate one.

Although himself a vegetarian, Robbins even tries to recruit meat eaters into living a different good life, suggesting they at least buy more ethically raised meat available in grocery stores like Whole Foods.
