We all have ideas about what we like and don't like when it comes to food. The problem is that, beyond this very basic consideration, many (or even most) of us don't put much thought into what we eat. Is this healthy? Where did it come from and how'd it end up on the plate? As long as it's there, edible, and desirable, why ask questions? In this book, Staci Marquez-Nichols encourages us to do just that. If you're thinking of making the leap into a vegetarian lifestyle, use these tips to build a foundation of dietary knowledge and keep yourself healthy during the transition and beyond. Maybe you're a vegetarian-in-training and you've already made the decision to stop eating meat. If so, you'll find extra encouragement since the author herself started out as an omnivore. The teasing, temptation, miscommunication, etc. that results from becoming a vegetarian... well, she's been through that already, and with her advice, maybe you won't have to (or at least you'll be more prepared for it if you do). If you're an omnivore, don't discount a book on vegetarianism just yet. Aside from tips on how to live a healthy vegetarian life, Staci also advocates what I'm going to call "dietary diplomacy." She realizes that, no matter what diet we adhere to, the decisions about what we eat are deeply personal. This means that all of us, vegetarians and meat eaters alike, have a responsibility to respect one another's lifestyles.

Fun and useful read,
By Giles (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 101 Vegetarian Eating & Living Tips (Paperback)
I found this book fun to read and full of useful tips for both budding and long time vegetarians. It may also be a good introduction to people considering adopting a vegetarian diet but who haven't yet made the shift.

The Run-Down on Being a Vegetarian,
By
This review is from: 101 Vegetarian Eating & Living Tips (Paperback)
As a lifelong omnivore I would have to say that I was a little skeptical about reading a book about vegetarianism. I feared that it would be a compendium of criticisms about meat-eaters or a diatribe about ethical issues. However, a few pages into Staci Marquez-Nichols' book I was delightfully surprised. The author conveys a wealth of information in a conversational tone, sounding much more like a knowledgeable friend than a crazed activist. Enclosed you will find tips on the health benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle, how to avoid common pitfalls, and how to make a successful transition into the world of vegetarianism. The organization of the book breaks up the material into manageable bit-sized pieces allowing for an easy-read. With a wry sense of humor, Marquez-Nichols answers questions, gives suggestions, debunks myths, and causes us to truly consider what it is we consume on a daily basis. Ultimately, we realize that every body is different and the food we eat should be a very thoughtful and personal choice.
