What is so simple as eating an apple? And yet, what could be more sacred or profound? Food is our most intimate and telling connection both with the natural order and with our cultural heritage. But it is becoming increasingly clear that the choices we make about food today are leading to environmental degradation, enormous human health problems, and unimaginable cruelty toward our fellow creatures.

The World Peace Diet presents the outlines of a more empowering understanding of our world, based on comprehending the far-reaching implications of our food choices. Incorporating systems theory, teachings from mythology and religions, and the human sciences, Will Tuttle offers a set of the universal principles for all people of conscience, from any religious tradition. that show how we as a species can move our consciousness forward-allowing us to become more free, more intelligent, more loving, and happier in the choices we make.

Since it was published in 2005. The World Peace Diet and author Will Tuttle have reached hundreds of thousands of people around the globe and created a whole new movement of people making a conscious connection with a healthy diet and cruelty-free living and committing spiritual, psychological, and social offences nonviolence and genuine sustainability. This tenth anniversary edition contains a new foreword, new resources (including recipes), and a study guide.

Aware that we are living in critical times, many of us feel called to contribute solutions to the problems that beset us. Because of this, when writing The World Peace Diet, I imagined a growing number of us making an effort to explore and share the most essential solution that is usually hidden from thought and discourse. This solution lies in understanding the connections that link our culture's routine abuse of animals for food and other products with the intractable problems of environmental destruction, world hunger, war, disease, and social injustice, as well as animal agriculture's unrecognized harm to the inner landscape of our consciousness. As The World Peace Diet's call to examine these deeper connections has gone forth over the past ten years, it has reached receptive hearts and minds, and this call has not just been heard but amplified through the countless efforts of inspired individuals. The book is now in many ways a movement-a bestseller published in fifteen languages-and its momentum continues to grow as the yearning for a more discerning understanding of compassion, health, spirituality, and justice gains traction worldwide.

Although a decade has passed since its first publication, the message of The World Peace Diet is as urgent and relevant today as ever. Certain facts and statistics have perhaps changed slightly, but the underlying patterns and truths still pertain. We heal our world and ourselves when we make an effort to understand the ramifications of our actions, especially those ramifications that are typically hidden and that resist being discussed or noticed.
