Actor Robert Downey, Jr., who is best known for playing Iron-Man and Sherlock Holmes in films, is now advocating climate smart food choices! Downey, Jr. has teamed up with bestselling author Thomas Kostigen to write a new book titled 'Cool Food: Erasing Your Carbon Footprint One Bite at a Time'.
It's noted that this is the first non-fiction book by Downey, Jr. The actor got interested to learn about nutrition after his Marvel run as Iron-Man, to prepare for the rigours of that role.
According to Deadline, Blackstone Publishing has acquired the rights to the upcoming book. The authors say that the new book will provide a smart, accessible and game-changing roadmap to making climate-solving food choices.
Notes 'Deadline': "While there has been a preoccupation in Hollywood with cutting down carbon footprints, doing it through a diet seems an innovative wrinkle." Blackstone hasn't set a publication date.
Commenting on the upcoming book, Downey, Jr. said, "Our best global food future requires no hand-wringing, fad diets, or radical shame -- just a perspective shift to discovering the many solutions in plain sight... With Kostigen in the cockpit, and Blackstone's formidable ground control, it should be an actionable adventure. Join us."
Meanwhile, talking about the book, Kostigen pointed out that 'Cool Food' "shows how we can change that outlook for the better by making a few different choices at the grocery store, trying something new on the restaurant menu, and by keeping an eye out for foods that store more carbon in the ground rather than polluting the air."
