What readers are saying about the Book + DVD

"As a medical doctor, I have to say that your book and DVD are simply amazing!" - Connie Godenick, M.D.
 "I never thought I would see it happen. At last, a respected medical group has the guts to authenticate what those of us involved in nutrition have been trying to promote for so long." - Dan E. Chesnut, M.D. "The first part of the book is an excellent summary of the detrimental consequences (heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc) of our typical eating patterns and the dangerous fad diets that abound today. The second part provides the details of the Rave Diet. With amazing simplicity and a few changes in our lifestyle we can obtain optimal health and even reverse disease. The book is very easy reading and well grounded in scientific research. It is one of the most influential books I have read in my lifetime." - Phil Kaplan
 "Both the film and the book are nothing short of life-changing. I'd already heard most of the information you give in the book and film, but never all in one place and never explained with such lucidity and easy-to-follow guidelines. You have a real knack for putting it all together in a way that convinces and motivates people." - David Graham
 "I love your book! It's as classy and interesting and enjoyable as the film! I am already within 7 pounds of my weight goal and I'm not counting portions, calories or anything else. Thank you!" - Chris Bekart
     "What a 'Wake Up' call! This book/DVD set is much more than an informative diet for health conscious people. It is truly a compelling, insightful, common sense approach to addressing the maladies and ailments that so many people suffer from today. This honest look at the faults of the (historic...hysteric?) standard American diet will definitely get your attention. The 'Eating' DVD is a powerful statement against the way that most of us think about the food we eat. How can a society be so dumb about what we are doing to our bodies? I exercise and try to watch my weight, but I have really been missing the 'big picture'. This program puts it into proper perspective. Check it out! The answer is simple and has been right in front of us forever--history and facts are difficult to ignore. I think this program takes up where Dean Ornish left off.
    "If you are tired of the 'band aid' approach to symptoms, leery about taking more medication, concerned about what is actually going into your body, and don't understand why medical research or the government can't seem to come up with solutions: then you need to view this film, read the book and take control of your future. Thank you Mike Anderson for opening my eyes--I think I get it now! " - Jill Lewis
 "I can't say enough good things about this book and DVD! It's opened my eyes and makes so much common sense. The name may sound like a fad but it is the opposite of a fad diet. Plus it works!!! I'm losing weight, feel great and now have the knowledge that gives me the power to never go back to my unhealthy eating lifestyle." - Monica Ames

What critics are saying about the film.

"Rivet yourself to your chair and watch Eating, a mind-blowing video experience that will forever change the way you think about food."   - Joel Fuhrman, M.D., author of Eat To Live

"Eating is a brilliant program. It provides an easy and engaging path to health through good food. I highly recommend it."      - Neal Barnard, M.D., author of Breaking the Food Seduction

"I want both to congratulate and to thank you. You've done us all a major service."   - John Robbins, author of Healthy at 100

"A professionally executed, powerful and moving film. It should be shown to children. They have so much to gain."
  - Reuben Allen, VIP Magazine

"The best tape on the subject I have ever seen."
  - Hesh Goldstein, Health Talk Radio

"A compelling and often shocking look at the standard American diet. Asserts that following federal nutrition guidelines can kill you."   
- American Library Association
"With the ever-growing popularity of programs like the Atkins diet, seeing what commercially produced animal fat and protein does inside of you is a true eye opener."  - Bobbie Willis, Eugene Weekly

"I'm in full agreement with your points and give my endorsement. I was pleased that you identified USDA price supports as a major cause of disease in the US."
  - William Harris, M.D., author of numerous books and articles

 What viewers are saying about the film

“I spent nearly 20 years in television and radio as a news anchor, but never in my entire professional career have I witnessed anything like ‘Eating’. I am still dizzy, still shaking, still stunned, unable to digest what I saw and felt. What you have shown about the food industry really amounts to crimes against humanity. Without a doubt, this is the most powerful and disturbing video that I have ever seen; it is a magnificent piece of journalism, worthy of a Nobel Prize because you have rendered a great service to mankind.”
 "Although I had heard much of the contents many times before, nothing ever made an impact as this did. I was stunned. There are no words to express how I felt. A great spiritual teacher said we cannot grow unless we are willing to be embarrassed when our ignorance is revealed, and to sincerely regret past ways of thinking. At 63, I suffer from the typical ailments you mentioned and look forward to changing my diet. Thank you so much for being an instrument of such goodness."

"We were overwhelmed by this beautiful, comprehensive piece of work. Thank you for creating such a wonderful gift for humanity. Sometimes I get so discouraged at the lack of interest people show toward not only themselves but also their loved ones. Then along comes someone like you sharing wondrous gifts."

"Just want to thank you again for opening my eyes and educating me on things that should have been obvious. Watched the video again last night with my husband, it had even more impact. He did not want to watch it. He agreed to 20 minutes and then he could not turn it off. He was so surprised on how informative it was--he watched the entire video very intently and wants to change his way of eating. He is a southern cracker and was raised on barbecue so I was very surprised it affected him so. Can't wait to see how good we are both going to feel in a few weeks."

"It is the clearest, most powerful and compelling presentation in the Western world about the state of our health and food industries.""I have to say that your video blew me away, even though I’m already extremely familiar with the subject matter. I was struck by the clarity and simplicity with which you explained the various concepts, and I learned quite a few new facts. I just kept thinking about how much I want my relatives to see it."
 "Never in recent years have I been presented with information that I had absolutely no prior knowledge of, that has such tremendous potential to impact our health and the health of our planet."
"With deep, profound gratitude in all aspects of the word. You deserve a Nobel Prize. Thank you, thank you and thank you!"
 "I have just watched 'Eating' for the second time. What a powerful thing you have done! I am deeply sobered, powerfully moved, and most importantly, clearer still about so many things. Thank you."
