We found Jay Weinstein to be an exceptional speaker… He spoke engagingly and effectively... He inspired and empowered our members with his talk, which not only raised consciousness about the problems of our industrialized food system, but proposed realistic solutions… We got raves from many folks who appreciated his thoughtful, articulate advocacy of sustainable agriculture and ethical eating.

You were one of our most engaging speakers, and… one of our most memorable… Your talk was both passionate and motivating… We'd run out of time before the group ran out of questions, and yet you stayed with us to answer every one of them. I greatly appreciate a speaker who is willing to do that.

Last year I appeared on a panel run by the Center for Communication in New York. The subject was how the public is fooled by the food industry… In my opinion, Jay was the star of the panel - energetic, informative, and a great conversation style. An excellent public speaker.

His frank discussion of the realities he experienced in the restaurant world really opened my eyes to the value of a lower-meat diet. Jay's approachable manner, easy banter, and good humor make him a welcome guest on my shows any time. I give him my highest recommendation, and know that he will always bring good sense, knowledge, and practical solutions to any audience he addresses.
