New to group HEather!!!

[Guest guest]

Hey Heather! Welcome!

 

Diet for a New America is pretty old, but still a wonderful book, but

John Robins (who created EarthSave*, and is the son of the Baskin

Robbins ice cream people) also wrote " The Food Revolution " how your

diet can help save your life and our world. this one was published in

2001.

 

if you are interested in reading more on this

Howard Lyman ( the former cattle rancher who sparked Oprah Winfrey to

publicly state that she would never eat a burger again** subsequently

resulting in the cattlemen's beef association to file a law suit ***)

wrote a great book... Mad Cowboy * plain truth from the cattle rancher

who won't eat meat.

 

also, I've read Lynda Blair's book " Going Vegan " . It's a pretty simple

book, designed to show the easy way to make the transition to the vegan

lifestyle. There are some recipes in the back.. it's not the most

amazing piece of literature, but information is pretty good.. it's more

a general overview.

 

anwyay, Welcome to the group Heather!

I hope this info is helpful! and I'm sure you'll love it here!
