Diet for a New America is a 1987 bestselling book by John Robbins.[1] The book discusses the nutritional, ethical and environmental benefits of adopting a vegan diet.[1] Colman McCarthy and Cleveland Amory compared the book to Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.[1][2]

In 1991 KCET, the Los Angeles PBS affiliate, produced a film documentary based on the book called Diet for a New America: Your Health, Your Planet.[3] The film is narrated by John Robbins and features interviews with Michael Klaper, T. Colin Campbell and John A. McDougall.[4]
