Great hardcore book

This is a book for those who want to know more about the nutrition of being a vegetarian or those who need some reinforcement. I have not read such a well written book on this topic. I think that everyone whether vegan, vegetarian or omnivore should read this book.

Ditto!

I would like to echo the positive remarks that other readers have made. The nutrition information alone is a must-read for anyone considering becoming vegetarian or anyone who is concerned about the diets of their loved ones. I was very pleased by the overall honest tone of the book. The authors were never "preachy" and were willing to admit that some claims in the book were not yet fully substantiated. The result is a book that is very balanced and convincing. Bravo!

If you're planning on going vegetarian or vegan, get this!

I had a hard time finding a book for diabetics going vegetarian or vegan. I found this one, thinking it was going to be mostly recipes and all, and was happy to see it covers a very wide range of topics. Three chapters convinced me this was the book to get: the diabetic vegetarian, losing weight the vegetarian way, and the vegetarian athlete, all applicable to my new lifestyle change. It also convinced me that I want to go vegan, which I never thought would happen. Milk is baby food after all for us mammal types! So give this book a try, has delicious recipes included, and vegan alternatives on menu plans for diabetics.

If you only get one book GET THIS BOOK and read it!!!

This is THE BOOK on vegetarian nutrition, written by experts who are themselves vegetarian. I am a registered dietitian and this is the book I recommend to my clients--vegetarian or not. Great info on all nutrition topics from babies to seniors, from protein to B12. Carol M. Coughlin, RD

Excellent - A must for the reference shelf

Highly recommended. I am a vegan who continuously looks for good reference books which contain useful information and are based on research rather than speculation. The Messina's are unbiased in their approach and tackle the information in a clear and concise manner. The book is packed with good information and can easily be read straight through or used as a reference book
