POPULAR BELIEFS & CONTROVERSIAL KNOWLEDGE. The Conscious Planet is an incredibly powerful, unique, and highly provocative piece of literature, which addresses some of the most serious issues facing the world today. It thinks outside the box and breaks all the rules of traditional thinking. Readers will find thoroughly researched- albeit highly controversial-writing on destructive nature of cattle ranching, the epidemic of obesity, the harms of pollution, nuclear power, fluoride, microwave ovens, vaccines, and much more. The ideas are backed up by well documented facts (containing over 750 bibliography notes), and abundant quotes by everyone from Confucius to Einstein.
