John Robbins (1947–2025) was an author and activist widely considered one of the world’s leading experts on the dietary link between the environment and health. He wrote several books including Diet for a New America, the million-copy bestseller that was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, and numerous other widely acclaimed books, including Reclaiming Our Health. He was the recipient of many awards, including the Rachel Carson Award, the Peace Abbey’s Courage of Conscience Award, and the Albert Schweitzer Humanitarian Award. Groomed to follow in the footsteps of his father, the founder of the Baskin-Robbins empire, he chose a different, more authentic path for himself, and he founded EarthSave International.
