This review is from: How To Explain Why You're A Vegetarian To Your Dinner Guests (Paperback)

This is a great little book. Tilston runs through the main arguments for being a vegetarian in a lucid and undogmatic style. He doesn't come across as a fanatic, just a sensible everyday sort of guy trying to make sense of the mass of information on the environment and health. He has clearly read a great deal of the latest research on these subjects. He deals with a few technical issues, such as land degradation and what our bodies need to run well, in clear everyday language. There is so much research these days that, as he points out, we can now draw some definitive conclusions in many areas. In areas where there are no straight answers, such as whether or not it's "right" to eat animals, he takes the reader through both sides of the argument. But perhaps the best thing about the book is that he has interspersed the arguments with his own experiences of being vegetarian, which makes it a light read of some heavy topics. And there's not a recipe to be seen.
