Where: Cleveland Heights Library, 2345 Lee Rd. Cleveland Hts OH "Use The World Peace Diet as a guide to empower yourselves and others in making dietary choices that are powerful beyond what you can possibly imagine." Julia Butterfly Hill, environmental activist and founder, Circle Of Life Foundation "The World Peace Diet is one of the most provocative books I've ever read. This is a deep book, aglow with insights that penetrate and expose the complacency of a culture that has strayed painfully far from compassion." John Robbins, noted author "Will Tuttle brings a priceless perspective -- not only to the planetary crisis confronting us all, but also to powerful ways we each can affect it. This book is radiant with his learning and his compassion." Dr. Joanna Macy, author, Coming Back To Life "I am grateful for this powerful and cogent book. It has stretched my thinking (and heart) about animals, compassion, and our society." John Mackey, founder, Whole Foods, Inc. Visit www.worldpeacediet.org for more information. | ||
