I was incredibly impressed by this book, for two main reasons.One, the authors were able to remain objective about the vegan diet and tell readers what the possible downfalls are and also where more research is needed. They didn't let their beliefs get in the way of presenting the information objectively. I think it's better that they were honest about the challenges in a vegan diet, rather than painting the vegan diet as a miracle cure or as a diet that requires no planning. This allows people to plan their vegan diet in the best way to avoid the possible downfalls (and there are possible downfalls in any type of diet).Two, I loved knowing that the information was reliable. I tire of seeing books about nutrition written by doctors. Doctors often aren't required to take any nutrition classes in order to become a doctor, yet are regarded as experts in nutrition.Overall, reading this book will leave you feeling empowered to plan a vegan diet that is healthy. It will also give you the knowledge to help others understand that a vegan diet can be healthy . It was also easy to read and not too technical . I do have some knowledge of nutrition (it was my minor in college) so that probably helped in finding it easy to read and interesting.I believe every vegan should have a copy of this book, even if you just flip through it for the parts that interest you most and then just keep it as a reference.
