The World Peace Diet: Eating For Spiritual Health And Social Harmony

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I am grateful to the many people who have helped along the way,
contributing their insights and energy to the process of creating this
book. My heartfelt appreciation to those who read the manuscript at
some stage and offered helpful comments, particularly Judy Carman,
Evelyn Casper, Reagan Forest, Lynn Gale, Cheryl Maietta, Laura
Remmy, Veda Stram, Beverlie Tuttle, Ed Tuttle, and Madeleine Tuttle.
Michael Greger, M.D., and John McDougall, M.D., provided valuable
insights for chapter five and Michael Klaper, M.D., for chapters five
through seven. Thanks also to Doug Davis, Joel and Michelle Levy,
Howard Lyman, Norm Phelps, Zach Shatz, Jerry Simonelli, and Zoe
Weil for their interest in the manuscript and helpful comments and to
everyone above for their encouragement. I’m grateful to Sarah Gallogly
and Martin Rowe for their skillful editing that clarified the manuscript.
Beyond these people, there are many more who have contributed to
the book less directly through conversations, and through their writings,
lectures, and creative efforts to uplift human consciousness. My deepest
appreciation to all of you for your contributions! A big thank you to my
dear wife Madeleine for sustaining me with loving-kindness, wonderful
meals, and spirited discussion throughout the years this book was taking
shape.
Finally, deep thanks to all the animals with whom we share this
beautiful planet for their celebrative presence and their mysterious collaboration
with the living forces that make everything possible here.
May their suffering at our hands open our hearts to compassion.
