 Great resource - fun to read! July 30, 2003

I ordered three books on becoming a Vegetarian, and stayed up late last night to finish this one. It is great - very informative, without too much technical jargon. Just down-to-earth "how to" stuff, without "preaching" vegetarianism. I highly recommend this book if you are thinking about adopting a vegetarian diet, or just want to eat healthier.
Excellent! August 20, 2002

I have wanted to be a vegetarian for 30 years. And I'm still
not a vegetarian. I have looked at so many "how-to-be"
a vegetarian books over the years. None of them were really any good. This one is. Please allow me to summarize. The book has everything you need. But let us get to the point. In chapter four, you will be asked to assess a strategy. There are two approaches and about 1,000 variations in between. The first is
the "Overnight Approach". And we all know what that is. Then
there is the "Gradual Approach". You plan a stategy based on the advantages and disadvantages that she outlines. I thought that the "Overnight Approach" was bad for your health or dangerous. I know that Rudoloph Ballantine says so in "Transition to Vegetarianism." And I believe that other books have said so. But she says that it's okay. It's basically how fast you want to go. Now we go to chapter 10 where the real changes are made. You will have to throw a lot of stuff out of your kitchen. You will have to streamline your equipment. Buy staples (foods without meat). There is a terrific checklist of what to buy at the store. The other chapters are mainly on the problems that you will encounter. Entertaining, vitamins, traveling. I could be a vegetarian tonight! I just wouldn't be very happy because I haven't prepared. I have tried my best to help you make a decision on buying this book. Thank you.

Great book if you don't want to preached to. Informative, matter of fact and entertaining. Well written but not leaning from one side to the other. I particularly liked the section on "Getting Started." Lots of books presuppose a background in some type of nutritional information but this one does not. No recipes but that is what the Internet is for! Overall, a good read!
Great resource for vegetarians and vegans December 21, 2001

This book is one of the better books about vegetarianism. It has all the nutritional information you will ever need, plus reasons to go vegetarian. It doesn't push one form over another, it just gives you the facts. Even people who aren't vegetarians can at least reduce their meat consumption for their health, the animals, and the environment. One of the things I really liked about it is that it's written in way that's fun and easy to understand. I'm not a doctor and I don't understand all of the usual jargon, but this book will help anybody, from kids to the elderly. Highly recommended.
