made me not want to be a vegan. This is more of a story that foretells your depressing future as a hated person in society. Please go for cook books and real stories-veganism isn't that bad. The book blows everything out of proportion.
Well, get over it" Not helpful at all. This book is entirely filled with rhetoric and propaganda about why it's bad to eat meat, animal products, or any product dealing with animals. Being a newbie Vegan, I thought I would be able to pick up this book and be offered tips and ways to be "Vegan in a Non-Vegan World" Not so. This was a waste of $10. I'm all for anti-speciation, but seriously, by page 42, they were repeating themselves and not offering any advice on how to stick to being vegan, or offering any tips on how to deal with non-vegans in your life. Basically, it all boils down to, "Just be Vegan Already" "If you care about animals, there's no other way to go" "You have a tough time eating cheese. Your money is better spent throwing it into your compost pile. If you want tips, join a co-op and find a Vegan support group.
I'm a vegan, and I really enjoyed this book, and the practical advice they give. I particularly enjoyed the sections on how to deal with "helpful" (aka overbearing and idiotic) family and friends. It made me laugh, when so many people have made me cry. It's nice to know that I'm not alone.
Terribly written, not interesting - more info from any internet faq on veganism. Spends more of its time giving links/references to books that might be useful, but this book on its own has very little value or worthwhile information that hasn't been given so many times before in such better books.
Not quite what I expected. It is written for a younger, more hip, audience. It is hard to believe that the two authors have PhDs.The information is pertinent, and there are pages of ressources inthe back of the book.
