This book was a life saver for our daughter's severe food allergies

ByBethon October 15, 2015

Verified Purchase

We purchased this book when our daughter was diagnosed with severe food allergies. Little did we know, but there is animal products in so many things. This book helped us learn the different names for different animal ingredients that are in every day products. I highly suggest this book to anyone that is dealing with food allergies, especially animal food allergies (beef, chicken, pork, etc). It was a life saver not only for me as a parent but for my daughter as well.

Just a few lists

ByAmazon Customeron July 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

Not really a manual, or detailed guidance, just lists. Perhaps that's what it's meant to bee and I was just looking for something more. But it's literally just a few lists . . . Really.

Food for thought!

Bywildflowerboyon April 18, 2007

Verified Purchase

As a whole food consumer, though not a vegan, this small, informative book has me reconsidering my diet. While I do occassionally enjoy organic dairy products and free range meat, I sometimes feel guilty in doing so. Frankly, I was startled to learn about the vast plethora of obscure ingredients in our food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals derived from animals. The E.G. Smith Collective has really done an outstanding job collecting all this data. That said, I was a little dismayed that a few of their vegan alternatives were less than eco-friendly. For example, beeswax candles are certainly much healthier for the planet than petroleum candles! (Furthermore, having never been a beekeeper, I really don't understand how extracting beeswax from a honeycomb actually injures the bees. I would also question the idea that eating royal jelly, bee pollen and honey is honestly bad for you given their importance in natural medicine). In addition to suggesting a lot of questionable synthetic alternatives to animal ingredients, they also recommend a lot of soybean products. Personally, I love tofu, soy milk, and tofu ice cream, but I'm also aware of what Vandana Shiva refers to as "soy imperialism." Unfortunately, the authors of this book never discuss the ecological danger of biotechnology. While health food is expensive and brings up lots of complicated class issues, I would really encourage consumers (if you can) to only buy organically grown, non-GMO soy products. I would also suggest you eat other high protein veggie foods as well to diversify both your diet and the heath food industry. Whether I eventually eliminate animal ingredients entirely from my diet, I'm still not sure. However, I am extremely grateful for this excellent vegan resource for opening my eyes to the pervasiveness of animal cruelity in our economic system and challenging both my anthropocentric attitude towards animals and my position on food politics.

Very helpful in my transition to veganism

ByS. Tellmanon January 29, 2008

Verified Purchase

Handy guide and small enough to carry in my purse or laptop bag. This was very useful as I made the transition to a vegan lifestyle.

I am completley blown away at how many animal derived ingredients are in everything from toothpaste to shampoo to lotion. I shudder to think that while I have not eaten meat for years, I was rubbing something that came from a sheeps stomach on my body every day.

Probably the most surprising thing was learning that wine and beer are also something I need to consider carefully.

If you want to know what is in the products you are buying, this is a very handy reference. I highly recommend for beginning vegans.

Its alright.

Its exactly what it sounds like, a giant list of animal ingredients listed alphabetical order. Its a bit thin of a book but it does what its suppose to.
