Editorial Reviews

Product Description:

It’s not news that eating meat is unhealthy, destructive to the environment, and cruel to animals, but what is new is Jeff Popick’s new book, The REAL Forbidden Fruit, which offers compelling evidence that meat was the real “forbidden fruit.” Using spirituality, physiology, sociology, environmentalism, and logic, The REAL Forbidden Fruit demonstrates how meat-eating is destroying our health, our planet, our societies, and even our connection to God. But there is hope. Popick shows in a comprehensive, clear, and entertaining style how veganism overcomes all of society’s problems in one fell swoop, and can put us back on the path to the paradise our world once was.

Customer Reviews

Challenging us to Raise Ourselves Up by urban hermit
If anyone fancies themselves a “spiritual” “caring” and “compassionate” person who cares about the earth, but still eats meat : read this book!

If anyone out there wonders why all their spiritual seeking is fruitless and why humanity suffers continually and can never seem to evolve beyond frustration and chaos — but you still eat meat: read this book!

If anyone is serious about doing all they can for their own health and the health of our environment, but still eats meat: read this book!

Jeff Popick weaves all the reasons that meat is devastating our planet, bodies, relationships, souls and connection to God into one digestible presentation. This book will challenge every root of hypocrisy holding you back from stepping forward into a bright and clean new world, and away from the suffering, violence and denial that has ruined paradise for us all.

Should be required reading for all junior-high students by Carl E. Feather
Popick’s theology may be flawed, but then again, this is not a book about heaven but about salvaging what little bit of paradise is left here on earth. He expresses so many of the concerns I have held about eating meat ever since I was a child and my parents insisted I eat that hamburger that was, a few days earlier, my cow in the pasture. He also addresses the trauma many junior high students experience the first time they have to cut up animal as a “learning experience” in biology class. I still remember how I dreaded that required lab when I was in school.

I have been a vegan for 12 years and when I went that route, I was warned I would lose my hair and die within a year. I feel better now than I ever have. Don’t believe the garbage the meat industry is telling you. Animals do suffer tremendously so you can have a burger, and you don’t need that bloody meat to survive.

Just buy the book. But you can get it a lot faster by going directly to his Web site, jeffpopick.com.
