that has alot of information on the meat industry, vitamins, basically all things vegetarian. I've not been a vegetarian now for even a year yet and I still have alot to learn about the lifestyle I've chosen. Any suggestions before I just head out to the book store?
Off the top of my head: Dominion by Matthew Scully Diet for a New America and Food Revolution by John Robbins Vegan: The new Ethics of Eating and Meat Market: Animals, Ethics and Money by Erik Marcus Becoming Vegan by Vesanto Melina and Brenda Davis Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser Animal Liberation by Peter Singer I've read and enjoyed all of them.
Thank you, I'll be sure to check those out. Animal Liberation and Domination I have actually been wanting to read.......
hit the library first and see which ones are worth buying. Lots of info on line as well. See the FAQ sticky to start. A really funny book is The Perfectly Contented Meat-eater's guide to Vegetarianism, written by Mark Warren Reinhardt http://www.vegan.com/bookstore/all_books/32715.htm Mark writes/wrote a column on single vegetarians for the Boulder Veg Society. He's hilarious and concise.
Here is an example of his humour from Rocky Mountain Animal Defense: http://www.health.rmad.org/gift_cakes.htm
"Diet for a Small Planet" by Frances Moore Lappe I am a vegetarian because I don't believe in killing animals. My mother-in law gave me this book for christmas, it is an excellent account of why vegetarianism could stop world hunger. It is inspirationally written and has alot of neat recipes too.
But Robbins uses the same info, so pick the book for its overall info and readability. I found Lappe's book a "give away" after a year.
a fiction book i like is 'my year of meats' by ruth ozeki (sp?) its kinda cheesy but its a good read and it gives alot of thought on the meat industry
I think the one I like a lot is called "The Rave diet..." and it comes with a DVD called "eating" it is really awsome.
