About Eat Wild

Eat Wild features comprehensive, up-to-date information about the benefits of raising animals on pasture. Jo Robinson, a New York Times best-selling writer, is the author of Why Grassfed Is Best! and the principal researcher for the eatwild.com web site. Jo has spent the last three years researching the many benefits of raising animals on pasture. Her interest grew out of a previous book, The Omega Diet, co-authored with Dr. Artemis Simopoulos, that explores the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet. While researching the book, Jo learned that meat from pasture-raised animals is very similar to meat from wild game and that both have the kinds and amounts of fats that promote optimal health.

Starting with this original insight, Jo began an exhaustive search of the scientific literature from the 1960s to the present. To date, she has identified hundreds of peer-reviewed studies showing that raising animals on pasture is good for consumers, the animals, the environment, and farm families. She has given talks about the benefits of raising animals on pasture throughout the country.

More than 2 million copies of Jo's books have been sold. She is the co-author of Unplug the Christmas Machine (with Jean Staeheli) Getting the Love You Want (with Dr. Harville Hendrix), Hot Mongamy and Emotional Incest (with Dr. Pat Love), The Omega Diet (with Dr. Artemis Simopoulos), Why Grassfed Is Best!, and When Your Body gets the Blues (with Dr. Marie-Annette Brown.)
