John Robbins is an American author who popularized the links among nutrition, environmentalism, and animal rights. He is the author of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated Diet for a New America (1987), an exposé on connections between diet, physical health, animal cruelty, and environmentalism.
In 1988, Robbins founded EarthSave, an international, non-profit organization. The organization was born out of the reader response to his Diet for a New America. The organization works to promote healthy, environmentally sound food choices, produce independence from the medical system and raise awareness of the ecological destruction and cruelty linked to the production of food animals.
Robbins has received the Rachel Carson Award, the Albert Schweitzer Humanitarian Award, and the Peace Abbey’s Courage of Conscience Award.
