2.0 out of 5 stars a book with a little too much hype and some interesting claims, May 5, 2009

By	I. Arute (Clemson, SC USA) - See all my reviews

This book has provided a lot of useful information about nutrition. However, I think its title is somewhat misleading in that it doesn't capture the book's very strong PRO-VEGAN stance on all nutrition. I also don't see it as very balanced in discussing any common difficulties or necessary precautions that are often associated with a vegan diet. Finally, I really don't appreciate the authors' constant reference to "making a few SIMPLE changes in your diet" or their "delicious" recipes. I don't agree that the changes they are talking about are "a few", nor are they "simple", but they require a complete and thorough revamping of an average person's diet plus a possible increase in grocery spending. And whether or not something like soy milk or beans is "delicious" is very subjective to say the least...
