"For anyone' choosing a vegetarian diet or even thinking about it, Veggie Revolution provides a comprehensive look at the many reasons people cite for giving up meat. Although one of the most common motives is concern for animals, there are a number of other equally important reasons to become a vegetarian, including improving health, preserving the environment, and working toward a sustainable planet. More and more people interested in social consciousness are making deliberate dietary choices, and vegetarianism, in particular, is the ultimate form of grassroots activism. Once you've decided that the vegetarian lifestyle is for you, Veggie Revolution will make your entree into this new lifestyle even more delicious with numerous recipes that are sure to exceed your greatest expectations."--BOOK JACKET.
