Born in the Baskin-Robins Ice Cream Empire, the life of Robins took an unexpected turn in the 1980s when he took a bold decision to move away from the fate of the family and dedicated himself to a fundamental path-which is inhibiting compassion for plant-based health, environmental stability and all living beings. His decision was not of rebellion but of deep conviction, as Robins saw his family’s legacy in a very different light from the ice cream empire that bored his name. Instead of continuing the prescribed route in front of him, Robins chose a life that would affect millions of people worldwide.

Robins’ life was not only about preaching, but also practicing values in which he believed so strongly. Their fight with subsequent polio syndrome, which relieved their polio -related symptoms, only increased their strength and flexibility.

His ability to challenge the status quo, to encourage people to think seriously about the food they eat and the way he treated the planet will continue to resonate for generations to come.
As comes to Father’s Day, it is particularly poignant to reflect their relationship of Robins with heritage. In steering away from the Baskin-Robins Empire, Robins chose to create a new dynasty-which lies in love, welfare and moral integrity. His decision to walk away from generational wealth in favor of a devoted life for kind reasons speaks about the kind of person.
