What to expect

This book is all about the single most powerful move that humans can make to promote health, reduce obesity, lower the cost of health care, nurture our fragile environment, conserve our energy resources, feed the world’s steadily growing population, and greatly reduce the suffering of animals in factory farms all over the world. As Dr. T. Colin Campbell says, “It turns out that if we eat the way that promotes the best health for ourselves, we also promote the best health for the planet.” Like a blinding flash of the obvious, the single most viable solution to all of these issues is an aggressive move in the direction of consuming much more whole, plant-based foods—not necessarily becoming vegetarian or vegan. This book clearly explains how and why we began eating the wrong food for our species and provides helpful guidelines for getting us back on the road to vibrant health and effortless weight loss. Fortunately, despite the incredible complexity of our current dilemma, the solution is refreshingly simple. It merely requires educating yourself, making better choices in what you eat, and then sharing all that you have learned with everyone you care about. There has never been anything more important in the history of the world.

“Healthy Eating, Healthy World is by far one of my favorite books. It is incredibly informative, well researched, and a must-read for anyone who eats! It takes you on a journey towards adopting a plant-based diet in a way that isn’t overwhelming and provides much needed tips about eating this way for good.”

“The same standard diet-style, rich in processed foods and animal products and low in produce, that places people at high risk of heart attacks and cancers, is also rapidly destroying our environment. Healthy Eating, Healthy World reports on critical information you must learn to help ourselves and our planet.”

“Poor nutrition is our leading cause of disease. Yet the biggest impediment to improving our health is that most people mistakenly believe they are eating a good diet. With the costs of disease out of control and threatening the economic health of our country, Healthy Eating, Healthy World is a timely contribution, explaining in clear, easy-to-read language why our standard diet is making us sick and how you can make simple choices that will improve your health, longevity, and quality of life. This is a must-read book. Highly recommended!”

“J. Morris Hicks has done us all a tremendous service. He has put together a simple, clear, and profoundly helpful guide to the extraordinarily powerful benefits of plant-strong nutrition. If you want to be healthy, read this amazing book. In a world hungry for hope, this book arrives at precisely the right time.”

“J. Morris Hicks’ world-changing book, Healthy Eating, Healthy World, is compelling in transforming our health—promoting dietary choices to be over eighty percent from whole plant foods. Not only will we restore our own fitness, vigor, and happiness as we become healthier, we will be celebrating a worldwide paradigm shift by living in harmony with nature on our precious planet.”

“What’s good for you is also good for our planet. Although heart disease and diabetes kill more people each year worldwide than all other diseases combined, these are completely preventable and even reversible for at least 95 percent of people today by changing our diet and lifestyle. This book shows you how.”

“In Healthy Eating, Healthy World, the title tells it all, as author Jim Hicks masterfully resolves global challenges in a sensible, well-written, highly referenced must-read.”

“Healthy Eating, Healthy World is more than an eye-opening, fact-filled book about the causes of poor health. It is a map leading directly to the cure. In the process, it points the way toward solving the seemingly unrelated problems of environmental destruction and world hunger. It is sensible, direct, and right.”
