Interesting reading, even if a little too concise

This book and many other veggie books out there expose the myths surrounding meat, eggs, and dairy products and the many diseases which they raise our risk of. The chapter on the American Dietetic Association's Position Paper on Vegetarian Diets is helpful and has info on how to get a free printed copy. The vegan diet that Dr. Attwood recommends may be a little too low in fat for some so I highly recommend also reading The Vegetarian Way by Virginia and Mark Messina. Whatever you do, consider eating a more plant based diet. Dramatically reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and feel better too! I switched from an omnivorous diet to a lacto-vegetarian and finally to a vegan diet and now feel much better. Pardon me for being so blunt but all that stuff about meat being necessary for protein is just superstition! As is the idea that we need to drink cow's milk! If you are interested in improving your child's health and nutrition, read this book and also other books like Becoming Vegan and The Vegetarian Way. This review is being written by a nutrition major.
