This book is terrific. It's not a cookbook, so don't expect recipes. Healthy Eating - Vegetarian Diet for Beginners is, instead, a funny, approachable, well written, and very straightforward exploration of what a vegetarian diet is, types of vegetarian diets, the most common reasons why people embrace the vegetarian lifestyle (animal rights, health, environmentalism and economics), some common excuses people use for not going veg (with honest and practical suggestions for moving beyond those excuses), thoughtful and humorously presented advice on "coming out" to the world as a card-carrying vegetarian, and more. I would read other books by this author just because I enjoyed the writer's "voice" so much. A very entertaining read! If you're already vegetarian and think you don't need a book like this, think again. Part of living the vegetarian lifestyle is frequently having to defend our dietary choices against unrepentant carnivores who find a meat-free diet somehow threatening... This book will arm you with not only fact-based and informative ammo for those encounters, but with funny and non-threatening ways to respond that just might win people over.
