[@samhalsey5051]

Please tell John he is more beautiful and inspiring than ever!

[@OakleyOriginals]

The openness and honesty of both John Robbins and Rip are just so refreshing and hopeful. Love your life philosophies and servanthood you both exhibit. Thanks a million for this podcast. It has been enormously uplifting!

[@Avery_4272]

Thanks for this conversation, Rip. John Robbins really walks his talk.

[@janellenesbitt8755]

[@kentroskelley1389]

What better person to interview and air the day before Earth Day than John Robbins!🌎 The Universe seems to provide the right people at the right time. John Robbins although he may not think so, was groomed for this time to help us open our minds and eyes to the power we have when we work together to be true stewards of the earth. Thank you Rip for this discussion and the dynamic way PlantStrong is contributing to help heal the planet, human beings, and all living things! WFPB for the Earth and all it’s creatures.

[@nancytucker2157]

Rip that was an incredible interview. Alway loved John but learned so much more about him. Such an honorable and compassionate man. And thank you Rip for all you do.

[@ahutton49]

Hands down the best interview /podcast I’ve heard so far. Mr. Robbins you give me hope. Peace and Blessings on everything you do my brother.

[@umavedala9493]

So much more respect I have for John Robbins ..!!

[@sharonhall1067]

From a 50 year vegetarian who became a vegan 25 years ago, I love this interview. I love you both.

[@Engine2PlantStrong]

Thanks for watching!

[@JacquelineCabessa]

Thank you Rip! This is my go to listening material when working or walking. You are authentic. Thanks to you, your wonderful parents, and amazing guests, I have started my plant based journey. I enjoy it, and hope to get the rest of my family on board.

[@Kathryn721]

I feel deeply moved by this interview. It has prompted me to re-think deeply about the work I do and what I value. Thank you Rip for your podcast and having John Robbins on your show.

[@djdollase]

Rip: this is the best interview I’ve ever heard with JR. I’ve listened to and watched many videos about/ made by him and never has it gone this deep. Thank you for what you do!

[@Engine2PlantStrong]

Thanks for watching! And for the kind words!

[@frompizzaaddicttovegan]

One of the best podcast episodes ever. Love John’s perspective and everything he has done for this world.

[@kristiecox7350]

This brought tears to my eyes a lot. Such strength that must have taken. Beautiful

[@shco3279]

I read John Robbins’ Diet for a New America when I was a Jr in high school and it had such an impact in my life. Listening to him 35 years later he is still such an inspiration. At 51 y-o this is the first time I’ve actually heard him talk so this has been such a treat to watch this interview. Thank you

[@lindamickel8545]

Incredible interview. I never tire of hearing John Robbins story. Thank you Rip.

[@Adele.N]

Wow!!! This was absolutely one of the best interviews I’ve ever heard! Much gratitude!! ☮️🥰❤️

[@kate60]

Beautiful Truly Rich Men. Thank You!

[@wfpbnutLise]

I think is my all time favorite interview you've done. So heartwarming and inspiring!

[@lys7673]

What an amazing man

[@debbiepanik9356]

This is my favorite interview from you, Rip. John Robbins is a true human being.

[@amyblea4559]

Hi Rip, i just wanted to say thank you for bringing John Robbins in to talk. I read his book when I was in college back in 1989/90. And I even heard him talk at my university when he came to discuss his new book at that time, "Diet for a New America." But I wanted to make it clear to you and your listeners that John was not the first to proclaim this information about environment, health and animal welfare. Frances Moore Lappe trailblazed this concept back in the 1960's with her famous book, "Diet for a Small Planet." It is a must read for all the plant based folks out there and everyone needs to acknowledge her contribution to the Whole Food-Plant Based Movement!

[@Engine2PlantStrong]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Avery_4272]

Thanks for mentioning her book!

[@bhavnasoni711]

Excellent episode. I m speechless

[@samhalsey5051]

Not sure if John remembers, in the mid 2000s after a nice talk at his home I noticed the stove wasn’t a gas stove and I said why not a gas stove? As I thought it was the best… and he said something like the pollution… and I said doesn’t it burn off… and he said something like it’s got to somewhere and it doesn’t all burn off. Amazing how he is right about everything as far as I know. And about 13 years later San Francisco bans gas cooking stoves in building. And state it is the number one cause of home pollution. And its all over the news. It is amazing how informed few are and how behind even a progressive government like San Francisco is. Thanks for being you John! And thanks for sharing!!!💜

[@EricSeijo]

What a beautiful interview! John is such a special being, thank you for spreading this message ❤ 🙏🏽

[@boasjanet7265]

I’ve listened to most, if not all, of your interviews and I must say this is the best one. This is the one I’ve now watched twice and will probably watch again. I knew John had written Diet for a New America, but hadn’t read it, and didn’t know he had written other books also. After I heard this interview, I ordered that one and also The New Good Life both of which I am eager to read. Thank you for one of the most impactful interviews I’ve ever heard.

[@Avery_4272]

You might also enjoy his books The Food Revolution, Healthy at 100, and Reclaiming Our Health. I found them really good.

[@jacobhenry4438]

Had no idea they lived and were inspired right at my doorstep, here’s to island life and rural life

[@buffalobill5709]

it made me cry😢 how humble😮

[@tehya7979]

Amazing interview!

[@barbbrazes869]

Excellent interview! Respect and admiration!!

[@anniel482]

I can’t believe I never realized he was part of the Baskin Robbins ice cream chain! I grew up in S. California and this was considered the best ice cream around. I have a newfound respect for this man, not that I didn’t have it already. Bravo!

[@Engine2PlantStrong]

It is amazing, isn't it! Glad you watched. Thank you.

[@anniel482]

And I might add, my dog was named Jamoca because his face looks liked the Jamoca Almond Fudge flavor I enjoyed as a kid. And to think John invented that flavor too!

[@mariamckeon3532]

A bud,thorn and a flower will give this a try today..love to you both for being light workers …doing my part as well it’s truly a blessing to serve and give from our heart..love army ❤

[@SuperFoodParents]

I had to laugh out loud that John Robbins stumped Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous 😅 Honored that he won his father's respect and literally his heart to actually put down the ice cream and uplift a whole food lifestyle thanks to *Diet For A New America*

[@djdollase]

Love “Hope is a choice”.

[@cherij7000]

Awesome in all ways. Loved the interview and you both!

[@deborahdedrick8110]

What a beautiful, heartwarming interview ❤️ I’ve read John’s other books and must buy the newest. Loved this episode ❤️

[@SGurgevich]

Thank you for this wonderful interview with one of my heroes. John Robbins is so admirable and authentic. When my wife and I wrote “The Self-Hypnosis Diet”, John graciously read our manuscript and wrote a meaningful endorsement. I love everything he does and creates… and this interview shows the authentic integrity that we all should aspire to in life.

[@bettymaugeri7316]

Wonderful discussion!

[@susans.794]

This was the best interview! I love John!!

[@carolynlapota5495]

This was another awesome interview. I have heard John tell about his leaving his chance to have Baskin Robins life but you had him tell several things I had never heard. Such an interesting interview. Thank you.

[@Engine2PlantStrong]

Glad you enjoyed it - thanks so much!

[@shirleywolff611]

A 30-year vegan, John Robbins' "Diet For A New America" was an eye opener for me. Thank you, John, for all you do for the vegan community and the world. XOXOXO

[@carlo6912]

Awesome interview, thank you for sharing.

[@ellenshealthykitchen]

Thank you for this most inspiring episode. The discussion between the two of you was so honest and raw and real. I could've listened for at least another hour. There were so many nuggets, especially memorable near the end - "Buds, Thorns and Roses" and "Same Team". I will be incorporating both into my life.

[@heatherlynnwillnotcomply3899]

Love this conversation! What great hearts and souls! ❤️

[@paullemay3218]

Awesome conversation. Thank you for sharing. 💚🇨🇦🌱

[@Engine2PlantStrong]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tonyaquinn7822]

Wow! This was a fantastic interview. I had no idea of his past. I will have to read his books now!

[@frompizzaaddicttovegan]

I’d sure love to find the Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous episode he was on

[@mariamckeon3532]

Thank you for this rich conversation! I just resonate with everything you both shared. Feeling like we are just so connected because of your similarities,values,mission and just grateful because I have been sharing this too in my life…lost my nonprofit to my partner who sold out to big corporations and pharmaceutical companies…God got me out so I can be uncensored and share this too ❤️❤️❤️shred this podcast often ! Hope to meet you in a retreat soon ❤️❤️

[@Engine2PlantStrong]

Wonderful! Thanks for taking the time to watch, and to give such kind feedback!

[@victorphelps4498]

Hilarious! KZbin played a Culver’s add, before starting the video. Culver’s single vegetarian burger has more cholesterol and calories than their regular burger. Culver’s has one soup and one salad, on their menu, that are vegan and healthy.

[@Kathryn721]

John's story reminds me of Siddhartha. A boy growing up in a palace with untold riches choosing to leave because he could see the injustice in the world and he didn't want to be sheltered in the palace anymore. He went on to become The Buddha. (At least this is how I remember the story I read by Herman Hesse 30 years ago)

[@charminealcantara7]

Amazing! :)

[@78cheerio]

1. To work inside the healthcare system issues not all it’s cracked up to be. Your father knows this but cannot talk about it. 2.And yes, money is not the answer. If you want to really really step it up, check out Esther Hicks workshops. They are now on several channels for free on KZbin thanks to her thousands of fans. She holds Saturday workshops online for $50.00. She’s been doing workshops and cruises for decades and is known around the world. I’ve been down the wonderful paths you imply. These workshops and emotional hierarchy concepts cap everything. The clarity, the freedom, the joy. It puts “lots of money” in perspective. Esther or Abe Hicks Q and A style workshops. It will put everything into perspective.

[@kefirheals7383]

Great interview. Great points made. (The elephant in the room is "too many people". Overpopulation. No-one dares talk about it.)

[@cantstoplion]

🧡

[@samhalsey5051]

I’m hopeful because california for the first time ever powered the grid 100% SOLAR!!!

[@agnidas5816]

If only Rich Piana read Johns book! He could still be walking around being a mountain... the man literally had ice cream as a staple of his diet to help him push over 5,000kcal daily

[@deepakguttal]

Great Interview ! He seemed distracted though, he kept looking at something, maybe his phone or maybe some notes in his book, nevertheless a great interview

[@gzmz1993]

Had enough of that.

[@pastryshack551]

H probable knew what poisons were in the ice cream,

[@lindamacfarlane6817]

I was a vegan in the 70s. I was always weak. I switched 2 years ago to carnivore. WOW! I A STRONG! I am healthy. AT T 74

[@lindamacfarlane6817]

@thelvadam5269 ever better, 75, power workouts, brain functioning way better than when I was in my 20s, 30s.

[@hollynoel7736]

I see two men who look to be around 70 years old, and don't look any better than anyone else. If you looked like you were in your 30's, I might be impressed.

[@bretthenley7541]

Refreshing, reverent, beautiful and insightful episode of PLANTSTRONG...Thank you Rip and John! Time for a run in nature now. Keep it fresh, happy and grateful for it all! 🌞🥦🍎🥬🥕🫐🍌🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️❤
