Vegan Betrayal Love, Lies, And Hunger In A Plants-Only World [Paperback]

Science meets sensuality in this penetrating examination of veganism, its scant history, dazzling health claims, fiery proponents, and growing throngs of disillusioned drop-outs. If you've ever wondered whether?a plants-only diet is right for you, your son, daughter?or significant other, Vegan Betrayal answers all your questions.?

Travel the wisdom roads of the Buddha, female bow hunters, and salt-of-the-earth family farmers in this candid, comic, fierce but always honest look at our dietary choices. Along the way, you'll stomp grapes in the Loire Valley, gaze into the eyes of Alaskan salmon, shop for truffles in farmers markets?and never again look at your food--plant or animal, raw or cooked--in exactly the same way.

Weaving intimate storytelling with cutting-edge nutrition research, this coming-of-age journey veers passionately from youthful idealism to intense questioning to mature acceptance of our genetic dictates and the earth's unforgiving biological truths. Prepare to have your mind opened and your soul jostled as you contemplate the act of eating and the rightful individuality of your chosen way.
