This is an excellent primer on nutrition, and it's important to note that it is based on scientific research. This book will explain why the standard American diet of animal products and refined carbs is making us sick and fat, giving us type 2 diabetes, cancer, heart disease, among a host of other ailments. While the USDA food pyramid has traditionally been based on demands from the agribusiness lobby (livestock, dairy, etc.), this book focuses solely on what science has shown us. I would recommend this book to anyone. The only thing missing from a plant-based diet is Vitamin B-12, so be sure to take a supplement if you choose to go vegan. Otherwise, read this book and prepare to lose weight, feel more energy, clear up your acne, balance your hormones, and get healthy! You can learn more about a plant-based diet from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine at [...]

Today more than ever it is important to look towards a healthy way to live your life.

How dumb do you have to be to know that eating a plant based diet is the best thing you can do for your health?! This book is not "misleading" to people that already know a little about good nutrition and health. Yes, if you've bought into the whole Atkins craze then don't read this book! But if you're looking for a solid nutritional guide that will help you live a healthy, happy life (by following a plant based diet) then this book is a definite gem. :o)

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...
