Summary: Interesting, but . . .
Comment: I picked this book up because I was thinking about moving from no red meat to ovo-lacto vegetarianism. While a good deal of interesting and pertinent information is presented in this book, I had a problem with the way the author wove her belief in various alternative practices, such as food combining and herbal supplementation, throughout the book. I'm interested in going vegetarian for environmental reasons, and I'm not as interested in holistic/alternative approaches to nutrition.
I found it distracting to have to wade through references to be sure to eat fruit by itself in the morning and to slow cook grains (by adding boiling water to grains in a thermos and leaving overnight) to preserve their enzymes and life. I don't think this book really lives up to the "complete idiot's" part of the title. Maybe if it was "complete new age idiot's."

Summary: The First edition was much better.
Comment: Unfortunatley, this is a bad book. The first editon was much better. Wolfe wants us to take her views seriously, but we can't because she comes across as a writer who does not have the knowledge to separate science from her own personal unfounded views. I cannot tell if this is supposed be a new-age philosphy book or a scientifically founded manual to help someone be a vegetarian. Wolfe has done vegetarianism a diservice in this book.
Rating: 5
Summary: Informative and Fun
Comment: I have been a lacto-ovo vegetarian for a few years now and was thrilled to receive this book as a present. It clearly explains reasons for going vegetarian, degrees of vegetarianism (ie pescatarians or pesco vegetarians eat fish, but other than that consume a plant-based diet), how to eat healthily, and provides witty information throughout the entire book. It's been a great source to me and I always recommend it to people who have questions about vegetarianism. I do not find it to be preachy. I just think it provides thorough information. It's simply a great source!
