Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Vegetarianism is not merely a healthier, more eco-friendly, more humane way to live. According to Victor Parachin, it's a guaranteed conversation starter (reason #11); it makes it easier to control weight (#31); it teaches you to identify adzuki, fava, mung, and numerous other types of beans (#56); it prevents constipation (#171); and it can save you thousands of dollars a year in food costs (#346). Peppered throughout are quotes from vegetarians ranging from Paul McCartney ("Eating bits of [animals] makes no sense") to Immanuel Kant ("We can judge the heart of man by his treatment of animals"), along with Albert Einstein, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Plutarch, and Albert Schweitzer. 365 Good Reasons to Be a Vegetarian is fun to read, even for nonvegetarians, and sure to be inspirational for those who've chosen the meatless path through life.

Product Description
From humane treatment of animals to health considerations, the reasons that people choose vegetarian lifestyles are as diverse as vegetarians themselves. The 14 million vegetarians in the United States will appreciate these pearls of wisdom from such famous vegetarians as Leonardo da Vinci, Hank Aaron, and Albert Einstein, among others. 50 illustrations.

2.0 out of 5 stars Quirky gift, but short on information, June 29, 2004
To fill a book with 365 unique tidbits of why someone should be a vegetarian is a difficult task to undertake. The author does their best to make the reasons interesting, however, it becomes apparent that there is little substance to this book. There are numerous quotes from "famous" persons which were quite interesting.

Overall, this book is an easy read, but I found it to be quite repetitive. It makes a quirky gift for a vegetarian, but no serious information about the vegetarian lifestyle can be gained from reading it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book for anyone, August 23, 1998
By A Customer
This book is full of reasons to make you want to become a vegetarian. And if you already are one, then it will renew your faith in the lifestyle you have chosen and know is right for the world.
