Being Vegan

Summary: Basic facts about veganism
Review: Remember this book is basically question and answer and lacks the flow I like in many other vegan books. It's a lot of useful information. Being a vegan myself I thought I knew everything but there were many eye openers in this one. The thing I didnt like is that she does not promote veganism in cats nor dogs. It has been well known for long that dogs can be very healthy and happy and nutritionally satisfied on a meat free diet. And since now there is a synthetic form of taurine cats aren't dependent on their meat diets anymore either. Read "Obligate Carnivore" by Jed Gillen to inform yourself about having vegan pets. Please don't take her advice - there is a lot of suffering we can spare by feeding our pets a vegan diet, without sacrificing their health.

Summary: It's more than just diet.
Review: The best book yet that I found about living the vegan lifestyle. Because there is more to being a vegan than the food.

Summary: Biased and Unrealistic
Review: This is a good book if you are twelve years old, or know nothing about vegan or vegetarianism. I stopped reading on page 42 at the line "Carnivores are physically designed to hunt, kill and devour their quarry quickly and painlessly." Right. Being ripped apart by teeth and claws doesn't hurt at all. This book is repetitive of basic ideas and contains such biased and unrealistic fantasys. Don't get me wrong - I am trying to transform myself into a vegan. I believe it is the right way to live. There are just better books out there about veganism.
