Author Will Tuttle, discusses "The World Peace Diet"
What sort of revolution would decrease use of fossil fuels, improve wildlife habitat,  promote healthier oceans, increase food crops for the world's poorest, reduce pollution, and benefit personal health.  How could this shift help re-connect us with our innate compassion, and rein in elitism, domination, exploitation, and war?  Author Will Tuttle explains all this and more in The World Peace Diet , Eating for Spiritual Health and Social Harmony.  The revolution we've all been waiting for might just begin with what we put on our plates. Join Will Tuttle with host Stephanie Potter the day before Thanksgiving, and your 'turkey' day might never be the same.

Dr. Tuttle is an award-winning American author, speaker, educator, pianist and composer. He is a former Zen monk and a PhD graduate from Berkeley. He has been awarded a Peace Abbey Courage of Conscience award.  He lectures all over North America and recently spoke at the 2013 Portland Veg Fest. The World Peace Diet, a #1 Amazon Bestseller, has been called one of the most important books of the 21st century: the foundation of a new society based on the truth of the interconnectedness of all life.
