Asheville Citizen-Times from Asheville, North Carolina • Page 30

ASHEVILLE CITIZEN-TIMES SUNDAY, OCT. 3, 1993 Know the realities of choices, he says Personal health, cruelty to animals, environmental damage and world hunger were the themes woven together by John Robbins in his appeal for a change in the way we choose our foods. Robbins, son of the founder of the Baskin-Robbins ice cream company, spoke recently at UNCA's Humanities. Lecture Hall to 330 people including many UNCA students. At age 21, Robbins took a sharp turn away from the family business, deciding he did not want to devote his career to inventing a 32nd flavor.

Now he says people shouldn't eat ice cream because its main ingredients are butterfat and sugar. Robbins, whose latest book is "All May Be Fed Diet for a New World," founded EarthSave, a non-profit environmental and education organization, and also wrote "Diet for a New America." Heart attacks are the leading cause of death in the U.S., he told the group, largely due to blocked arteries from saturated animal fat and cholesterol. Yet, he said, we are cutting down rain forests in order to grow cheaper beef and the rain forests are the earth's lungs. Robins said that over 90 percent of oats and soy beans grown SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN -TIMES are fed to livestock, maintaining that it takes 16 pounds of grain to produce one pound of beef and that for every person who stops eating meat, an acre of land could be spared and used to feed many people. He also said it takes 5,214 gallons of water enough for one person's showers for an entire year to produce one pound of meat.

Robbins said that there has been a total shift away from the old family farm to agri-business, huge farm factories where animals are packed tightly together, given drugs, fed artificial feed and kept in unsanitary conditions. Robbins challenged the audience to change diets by deleting animal products, both meat and dairy, in order to protect personal health, treat animals ethnically, save the earth's resources and its ecological balance and use plant foods to feed a hungry world. "Know the realities of your choices, then make your own decision, one that comes out of yourself and your own values. Who decides what you'll eat? Are the choices your own or have you been conditioned?" he asked. Robbins' appearance in Asheville was sponsored by the EarthDance Institute, an environmental resource center for North Carolina adolescents.
