"Anything else you're interested in is not going to happen if you can't breathe the air and drink the water. Don't sit this one out. Do something. You are by accident of fate alive at an absolutely critical moment in the history of our planet." — Carl Sagan "The future of the Earth is in the balance. It's up to us - who else? There is no one big fix. It involves everything we do, permanently, forever." — David Attenborough "Ecologists assert that the only large mammals to survive the near future will be those which humans allow to live. Biologists predict the Earth could lose one quarter to one-third of all known species within our lifetime." — EarthFirst.Org "When a society is in great danger, [writers are] likely to sound the alarms. I have the canary-bird-in-the-coal-mine theory of the arts. You know, coal miners used to take birds down into the mines with them to detect gas before men got sick. The artists certainly did that in the case of Vietnam. They chirped and keeled over. But it made no difference whatsoever. Nobody important cared. But I continue to think that artists - all artists - should be treasured as alarm systems." — Kurt Vonnegut, Playboy interview, 1973 "Creatures shall be seen upon the earth who will always be fighting one with another, with very great losses and frequent deaths on either side. These shall set no bounds to their malice; by their fierce limbs a great number of the trees in the immense forests of the world shall be laid level with the ground; and when they have crammed themselves with food it shall gratify their desire to deal out death, affliction, labours, terrors and banishment to every living thing. And by reason of their boundless pride they shall wish to rise towards heaven, but the excessive weight of their limbs shall hold them down. There shall be nothing remaining on earth or under the earth or in the waters that shall not be pursued and molested or destroyed, and that which is in one country taken away to another; and their own bodies shall be made a tomb and the means of transit of all the living bodies which they have slain. O Earth! what delays thee to open and hurl them headlong into the deep fissures of thy huge abyss and caverns, and no longer to display in the sight of heaven so savage and ruthless a monster?" — Of the Cruelty of Man, Leonardo da Vinci, a vegetarian and outspoken protector of animals and Nature "We have been too kind to those who are destroying the planet. We have been inexcusably, unforgivably, insanely kind." — Derrick Jensen, DerrickJensen.org "We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with the system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil." — Martin Luther King "To accomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream, not only plan, but also believe." — Anatole France Learn about John McCabe's forthcoming Hemp book |

"If all of the destruction done by humans to Earth since men started large-scale petroleum drilling in the 1860s had instead happened within a month, humanity would be astounded. But because the destruction has taken place over such a stretch of years, people seem to have been unable to grasp the enormity of the tragedy. It seems some people are becoming aware of what we have done. Some are realizing what we can do." — John McCabe, Sunfood Living |
What People Are Saying"Sunfood Living is a lifesaving book. Its abundance of documented facts demonstrates how our current way of living and eating rapidly destroys the environment and our health. John McCabe offers a wide spectrum of sustainable solutions from around the world. I consider this book a timely eye-opener for individuals, families, businesses, and governments." — Victoria Boutenko, author of the books Green for Life; 12 Steps to Raw Food; and co-author of The Raw Family: A True Awakening; RawFamily.com "This is one of the most comprehensive educational tools available on the market today. John McCabe is doing the world a great service, helping others help themselves through education. Sunfood Living is carefully researched and covers every topic you need to know in order to thrive in excellent health and make conscious choices in everyday life." — Cherie Soria, owner of Living Light Culinary Institute; author of Angel Foods: Healthy Recipes for Heavenly Bodies; The Raw Food Diet: Feast, Lose Weight, Gain Energy, Feel Younger!; co-author of Comiendo Pura Vida; RawFoodChef.com "Sunfood Living is the ultimate inspirational reference book for anyone who cares about the future of our planet and the lives of all the beings who inhabit it. I can't recommend it highly enough." — Sienna Blake, editor of Vegan Voice Magazine, Australia; veganic.net
"Sunfood Living is a heroic compilation that every household will
benefit from. A key catalyst for action and responsible living is access to
information, and these pages provide an encyclopedia of resources for
just that. — Renée Loux, author of Living Cuisine: The Art and Spirit of Raw Foods; celebrity chef and TV personality; EuphoricOrganics.com "Sunfood Living is a beautiful and an amazing work of dedication." — Terces Engelhart, proprietor of Cafe Gratitude, San Francisco, California; co-author of I Am Grateful: Recipes and Lifestyle of Cafe Gratitude; CafeGradtitude.com "Sunfood Living is the most comprehensive book on true nutrition and sustainable lifestyle since The Sunfood Diet Success System. It contains over 500 pages of raw-volutionary information previously unavailable from any other single source. It is a must for anyone who desires cutting edge nutritional information and practical tips for leading a truly healthy and sustainable lifestyle." — Matt Amsden, author of RAWvolution: Gourmet Living Cuisine; co-proprietor of Euphoria Loves Rawvolution café in Santa Monica, California; RAWVolution.com "I am relieved and excited to see a book about environmentalism that, at long last, emphasizes the essential role of our food choices. It is a sore point with many people and is therefore glaringly absent from most of the 'how to' lists for reducing global warming. This book goes even further and states the health benefits of eating raw foods while also bravely acknowledging that cooking is unnecessary and wasteful. It's about time! Sunfood Living reminds us of the age-old but often forgotten truth that what is good for us is good for the planet and vice versa." Angela Starks, health writer, nutritional therapist, yoga instructor, and co-proprietor of YogaInTheRaw.com "Are you ready for massive personal and planetary transformation? This invaluable resource guide is more than food for thought; it could actually change and save your life, the lives around you, and many species facing extinction. It is true that the truth sets you free. Roll up your sleeves, McCabe has given us a powerful and potent hands-on source of truth and empowerment." — Amy Rachelle, author of Transformation: A 33-Day Self-Empowerment Program for Cleansing Body, Mind, & Spirit; AmyRachelle.com "My eyes were opened in many ways by Sunfood Living. Not only did I learn something from every page I read, I also felt empowered by the immense catalogue of resources. So many answers! If you are searching for proactive ways to make our world a better place then this is the book for you." —Jennie Murphy of Australia, proprietor of raw-pleasure.com.au "Sunfood Living by John McCabe is the most complete book today on the information and resources needed for living a healthy and toxin-free life in this modern era. Practically an encyclopedia for healthy living, Sunfood Living is logical and informative, brimming with quotes, statistics and pithy, life-changing guidance. John's book is great for health neophytes, but also deeply valid as a resource book for those with more experience in the field." — Janabai Amsden, proprietor of Beauty & Wisdom, Santa Monica; euphoriacompany.com Continue Reading What People are Saying About Sunfood LivingWhat Others Are Saying About Sunfood Living

From The Foreword"If you have always wanted to do the right thing, to make sustainable, environmentally conscious, as well as relevant decisions and purchases, but you have been too busy and/or uncertain where exactly to track down all the greatest resources, then this is the book for you. Sunfood Living is a resource for global health and well-being par excellence. No one I have previously met in the entire movement for sustainable ecologically friendly living on Earth has produced as valuable and useful a resource book as this. The collection of resources within these pages allows one to create a vortex of order out of an explosion of chaos. Specifically, these pages instruct us where to go for information, products and resources that are in alignment with sustainable planetary systems and environmental ethics." — David Wolfe, author of Sunfood Diet Success System; Eating for Beauty; Naked Chocolate. Founder of The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation (FTPF.org)

A unique nonprofit charity dedicated to planting edible, fruitful trees and plants to benefit needy populations and improve the surrounding air, soil, and water. Programs are being organized to strategically plant orchards where the harvest will best serve the community for decades to follow, at places such as homeless shelters, drug rehabs, low-income areas, international hunger relief sites, and animal sanctuaries. FTPF's projects benefit the environment, human health, and animal welfare-all at once! What are you eating?"Enough plants and water to feed more than a dozen people is fed to livestock to produce a single meal for a meat-eating human. I'm no mathematician, but I'm guessing if we weren't breeding and feeding the world's 55 billion farm animals, we'd solve the human hunger crisis in approximately four-and-a-half minutes. Not to mention that animal agriculture accounts for the majority of water and soil degradation, contributes more to global warming than all transportation combined, and is responsible for virtually all of the rainforest destruction on the planet. Farmed animals in the U.S. alone create 86,000 pounds of excrement per second, and none of it goes through sewage treatment plants. The damage that commercial fishing has done to the oceans cannot even be accurately measured because it is hidden from view, but experts estimate that between 40 to 70 percent of ocean life has been eliminated by commercial fishing in the last 100 years, and as many as 90 percent of large fish are gone, probably forever." - Bizarro cartoonist Dan Piraro in VegNews magazine, Sept-Oct 2007; VegNews.com "There will be no shortage of statements from Mother Nature. April (2007) was the hottest April in the history of Europe. The hottest winter in the world's history was December, January, and February. The hottest year in America's history was 2006." - Al Gore, winner of the 2007 Nobel Peace prize for his work to educate the world on the crisis of global warming; quote from Rolling Stone, July 2007 "By the middle of October (2007), extreme drought covered nearly one-half of the Southeast, and critical water shortages had developed in a number of cities... this drought is not going away soon." - U.S. National Weather Service "Raising animals for food consumes more than half of all the water used in the United States. It takes 2,500 gallons of water to produce a pound of meat, but only 25 gallons to produce a pound of wheat. The amount of water used in the production of the meat from an average steer could float a destroyer." - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, VegNow.Com Some of the statistics are staggering. Enough plants and water to feed more than a dozen people are fed to livestock to produce a single meal for a meat-eating person. The enormous damage commercial fishing has done to the oceans cannot be accurately measured since it occurs far from view. The depletion of the ozone layer will radically - and catastrophically - remap not only the United States but the world. It's easy to become dispirited by this looming dystopia, but John McCabe suggests there is hope through individual action. This encyclopedia-style guide offers a wealth of strategies for living a healthy, eco-friendly life that will help restore the planet, person by person. |
