John McCabe is the author of Sunfood Living: Resource Guide for Global Health, Sunfood Traveler: Guide to Raw Food Culture, and Igniting Your Life: Pathways to the Zenith of Health and Success. He has been a ghost co-author on other popular books about raw food. In this book McCabe covers a variety of issues to explain why so many people are turning to a diet consisting of raw, organic fruits, vegetables, sprouts, nuts, seeds, and sea vegetables. Sunfood Diet Infusion details a variety of reasons why a diet that is vegan and all - or nearly all - raw is vastly more healthful than what has become the Standard American Diet ("SAD diet") of processed, chemical-laden, nutrient-deficient, disease-inducing, plasticized, mass-marketed corporate foods. Topics covered include the environmentally ruinous meat and dairy industries; the toxicity of farming chemicals; the benefits of organic gardening and locally-grown foods; the growing interest in permaculture; whole body nutrition; disease reversal; brain plasticity; maintaining vibrancy; the myths and truths of veganism; and the strong connection between global health and humanity's food choices. A helpful kitchen set-up and sample recipe section completes the book. McCabe's books are collectively a revelation from someone told twenty years ago that he would die from kidney failure if he didn't undergo a transplant, and that he would never be physically active without undergoing back surgery to fuse several vertebra and implant iron rods along his spine. Defying doctors, McCabe instead transformed his health through exercise and changing his diet to one free of animal protein and fried foods, but one that is rich in fruits and vegetables. The Sunfood Diet is not about measuring foods, counting calories, meal plans, or processed and packaged diet foods. Instead, it is abundant in natural, vibrant foods that infuse health: fresh, organic produce. At a time when diabetes, obesity, and heart disease are rampant in modern society, and when most people get their nutrition education from corporate food commercials, this book offers a refresher course in why truly healthful food really is important - for people, wildlife, and the environment. If you desire to experience truly vibrant health, read this book.

Turning to a vegan diet to regain his health after several near-death experiences, and learning the hard way that standard medical care can be anything but health-infusing, John McCabe began writing books about how a plant-based diet can prevent and reverse a wide variety of diseases while also protecting the environment. Becoming an advocate for plant-based nutrition free of disease-inducing animal protein, synthetic chemicals, and heat-generated toxins, McCabe coined the term "raw vegan." It is now an internationally recognized definition of what is becoming an increasingly popular dietary choice of unprocessed, unheated, fresh, organic, plant-based foods rich in the nutrients on which humans thrive in health. In this book of easy, simple, no-nonsense recipes, McCabe provides a variety of dishes that are easy to make, low-fat, rich in nutrients, and diverse enough to satisfy a wide variety of preferences. As an author of numerous books and a ghost co-author of many books by other writers, McCabe has had his hand in more raw vegan books than any other writer. His books sell internationally and include "Sunfood Diet Infusion," "Sunfood Traveler," "Vegan Myth Vegan Truth," "Extinction," and "Igniting Your Life." And now, this simple little recipe book that will be a nice addition to the kitchen of any person interested in healthy dietary choices. With this book, McCabe continues his global influence, playing a role in creating a raw vegan culture that is flourishing in some regions while beginning to blossom in countries the world over. While California is considered the epicenter of raw vegan cuisine, interest has gone global. From South Africa to Northern Europe, New Zealand and Australia to Asia, and throughout the Americas, raw vegan culture continues to evolve into a force that has become an industry and lifestyle influencing everything from what is being grown on farms and home gardens, to what is being served in restaurants and sold in stores. To familiarize yourself with the concepts behind raw veganism, read McCabe's book, "Sunfood Diet Infusion." Combined with his other book, "Igniting Your Life," implementing its teachings in daily life and awakening the senses through pure, unadulterated, plant-base nutrition can spur a life previously undiscovered, and perhaps one far beyond what the reader had previously considered possible.

In Vegan Myth Vegan Truth author McCabe tackles the myths, rumors, and lies surrounding the vegan diet. While hundreds of thousands of Americans undergo surgeries relating to cardiovascular disease, organ diseases, and cancer largely because they have eaten a diet heavy in meat, dairy, and eggs, some people consider the vegan diet to be extreme. What should be considered extreme is a populace consuming mass quantities of foods known to cause disease. Those foods include meat, dairy, and eggs, and those containing processed sugars and salts, synthetic chemicals, and damaging fats. What should not be considered extreme is a low fat vegan diet rich in raw fruits and vegetables, along with some nuts and seeds. It is a diet that infuses health. It greatly reduces the chances of experiencing what have become common degenerative and chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, MS, Alzheimer's, Chron's, arthritis, osteoporosis, macular degeneration, and kidney disease. What have become the common foods in America are becoming common in other countries. Because of this, rates of chronic and degenerative diseases are increasing globally. Incidence of heart attacks, strokes, diabetic coma, and conditions such as arthritis and erectile dysfunction largely can be traced to low quality dietary choices, and chiefly to diets rich in animal protein, unhealthful fats, clarified sugars, processed foods, and synthetic chemicals. Studies conducted by leading institutions around the planet are concluding that a diet free of animal protein and processed foods, but rich in fresh fruits and vegetables is a way of greatly improving health while reducing the risk of common diseases. From an environmental standpoint, a plant based diet is more sustainable. It reduces the use of fossil fuels, land, and water, improving the conditions of the environment and wildlife - and farmers. The animal farming industry, including growing food for farmed animals, breeding and raising billions of farmed animals, and then slaughtering, processing, shipping, marketing, and cooking the animal protein is a combination that uses tremendous amounts of land, water, fuel, concrete, steel, plastics, cleansers, and drugs. Most of the food grown on every continent is grown to feed farmed animals. A vegan diet uses far less land, water, fuel, and other resources than a diet consisting of meat, dairy, and eggs. Even typical fish sold in stores and restaurants are the result of using an enormous amount of resources. An increasing amount of "seafood" is being produced by massive farmed fish ("aquaculture") operations using open water containment net pens and also man-made shoreline pools or "lagoons." These practices cause an enormous amount of pollution. Fish farming is a leading cause of shoreline degradation and deforestation, and depletes wildlife diversity. Tremendous numbers of fish are being removed every day from Earth's oceans, resulting in regional and total collapse of species. An increasing amount of fish are also being fed to farmed animals by way of "high protein" feed. This has created the situation wherein farm animals are consuming massive amounts of seafood, which is something they would not naturally consume. The UN and other organizations have identified the animal farming industry as contributing more to global pollution, global warming, rainforest destruction, soil degradation, and both ocean dead zones and acidification than all other forms of pollution combined. Many people are tuning in to the health and environmental benefits of the vegan diet. This book explains the benefits of the plant-based diet and details how to go about it so that vibrant health can be experienced. The human nutritional need for animal protein is absolute zero. The amino acids the human needs to form protein are contained in fruits and vegetables. Reconnect with Nature. Learn organic gardening. Grow food. Read this book.

In "Marijuana & Hemp: History, Uses, Laws, and Controversy," John McCabe details the history of the human relationship with the cannabis plant, including as a crop grown for its fiber, oil, and seed, and as a plant bred for use as a recreational drug. Throughout history the plant has been used for food, fabric, paper, cordage, fuel, insulation, building materials, resin, and a slew of other uses. McCabe clarifies the difference between the non-drug plant known as "industrial hemp" and the relative plant that gets people "high" and which is commonly known as "marijuana." Hemp fabric sails and rope are what allowed people to sail the oceans and establish naval fleets and global trade. Hemp paper was used in the earliest books, newspapers, and publications that educated people and played a role in revolutions. Hemp fabric has been used at clothing, tents, blankets, and other items for thousands of years. Currently the industrial hemp plant is unfairly tied in in laws relating to drugs and the Drug War. Throughout the book, McCabe quotes from scientific journals, government meetings and publications, historical texts, experts, and other sources to explain the confusion between hemp and marijuana. He details why industrial hemp needs to be legalized and why the drug laws need to be changed. It is a matter of protecting the environment, of wildlife survival, and of creating a more sustainable human culture free from restrictive drug laws that waste billions of dollars every year, endanger law enforcement workers and citizens, and destroy lives.

Hemp: What The World Needs Now details the history and uses of the world's most versatile plant. It tells how hemp can be used to create a more sustainable economy, reduce fossil fuel use, save our forests, absorb greenhouse gasses, improve farmland, and help struggling family farmers survive. It debunks the myths, rumors, and lies surrounding the plant, and covers issues relating to poliitcal and corporate corruption keeping industial hemp farming illegal in the U.S. since the 1930s.
