I feel so lucky to have come to Whistler and experienced "The Planet Friendly Diet." It made me realize that I can do dinner in just 15 minutes! Very easy to cook and the portions are huge. I ve been eating meat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner my whole life, and I didn t know if I could not eat meat, but then I did it, and I feel so much better.

We all know we are what we eat, but less often considered is the fact the Earth reflects our diet choices as well and it s in poor shape. "The Planet Friendly Diet" connects the dots between a healthy environment and a healthy body. If more of us read this book and followed its sensible and inspiring message to eat as if the world depended on it, we d all be better off.

"The Planet Friendly Diet" is truly a lifestyle. this book has shown me how to combine foods and how to prepare them in healthy ways. I really like how it explains the macronutrients in real-life terms so you can bring it into your own diet. I feel like I can help my children and friends to eat healthier; the knowledge I ve gained is something that I will share with everybody.
