Summary: Educational But Not Dry
Comment: I thought this was a great book. I am a pollo-vegetarian, and I have been concerned about the health issues. This really helped me understand this is healthier and why. It also introduced me to new foods. I didn't really know much about about tofu, hummus, etc., but it breaks everything down for you. Great book!

Summary: Easy-to-read guide
Comment: I recommend this book for those who are following vegetarian or vegan diets, or thoe who are thinking about changing their eating habits.

Its reassuring tone made me feel that I CAN stick with a healthy, vegetarian diet.

Chapters on nutrition were informative and easy to read, but didn't answer questions such as: WHY do I need this nutrient? If you're looking for more specifics on nutrition, you may need to look elsewhere.

The book provides simple, logical tips for vegetarian survival while eating out.

There are a variety of sample menus (but no recipes), and a good list of other resources such as organizations, books, and web sites.

Summary: Not just for idiots! (Not just for vegetarians either!)
Comment: This book is a wonderful source of information for the beginning or intermediate vegetarian or vegan (I was happily suprised by the amount of vegan information included in the book).

This book helps answer all of the questions vegetarians are bound to face on a daily basis. How do you get enough protein? Iron? Calcium? Etc.... It also has specific sections on vegetarian diets for pregnant women, children, teens, athletes, and older people. As well as helpful info on easing the transition to a vegetarian diet.

I would also recommend this book for non-vegetarians who have friends or family members who folllow a vegetarian diet. It explains in easy-to-understand detail the different kinds of vegetarian diets, and things to keep in mind when one or more of your dinner guests are (or will be) vegetarian.
