Editorial Reviews

Review
Vegetarianism has gone mainstream in the last decade and is no longer seen just as a leftover lifestyle of 1960s hippies. From a number of perspectives-nutritional, religious, ethical-this book demonstrates how opting for a meat-free diet based on fruits, grains and vegetables is healthier for you and for the planet. It offers statistics that confirm not only environmental fears about meat consumption causing rain forest and topsoil destruction in spite of the meat industry's myths, but also that vegetarian women have a lower incidence of breast cancer as well as other cancers. Well-researched information on vegetarian nutrition, vegetarian ethics and lists of vegetarian resources make it an indispensable wellness guidebook for non-meat eaters and those looking to make the switch. -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by NR

In most Western countries, animals are raised on "factory farms." The treatment animals receive in them is solely connected with price. While it is not necessary to be cruel to animals prior to their slaughter, it does save money.
