Why to be a Vegan
I have been a vegetarian toying with going full bore to Vegan. I have read several books on food ethics & this one is by far the best. After reading it, I am a full-fledged Vegan. This book was not how to be a vegan, but WHY to be a vegan & he made his point quite plainly. Thanks, Erik, keep up the good work.
Enough to change my milk drinking ways
I had been a vegetarian for a long time, but continued to eat eggs and drink milk for about 4 years. This book definitely changed my feelings about the milk industry enough for me to finally make that step.. (previously I wrote about my struggles with this) I now have been a Vegan for well over 5 months. I dropped 10 pounds just from dropping Dairy from my diet, and I feel really healthy. Plus I excercise on a regular basis, but I feel lighter and happier now that I very carefully avoid all animal products from my daily intake.
Go Vegan, you will fell way better!
This book changed my life
Groundbreaking work by Marcus. Everybody wins when we switch to a plant based diet. Do it for your health, for the environment, for the animals. A must read for health nuts, environmentalists and animal lovers alike.
The best by far.
When I decided to go Vegan last November, like with many things in my life; I did my fair share of research on the subject. I purchased a few cookbooks and several books on Veganism. While most of them were helpful (The Complete Idiot's Guide to Veganism, Skinny *****) other's I found to be written like a high school report on Veganism (Vegan Freak). The facts were there, but it seemed like one line after the other on the subject ended with "For more information on this topic, read this other book." Which made me think maybe I should have just purchased those other books in the first place. So, for whatever reason, the books I bought were just lacking... something... Then I lost interest in reading about Veganism altogether and just started living the life.
I subscribed to a few Vegan Podcasts for more information and stumbled upon "Erik's Diner". It was from here I learned about Vegan.com and the books he's written. "Vegan: The New Ethics of Eating" is BY FAR the best Vegan book I have come across. Every subject is laid out with it's own easy to read chapter. And Erik makes you feel like you're right there, part of the story by actually taking the time to write out the situation the way it happenned rather than "If you want to know more, go buy this other book." Thank you Erik Marcus for writing this book. I just started reading "Meat Market" last night and I'm very excited.
A good overview on vegan issues and philosophy
A very good book for newbie vegans who need to expand their library. There was nothing in here that I hadn't read elsewhere, but the book provides a very user friendly summary of many of the basic vegan issues and philosophy... I do recommend the book, though it's not necessary a "must have".
