What books can you recommend on vegetarianism?
Answers:
Also good "The Omnivores Dilemma". The first third of the book is dedicated to factory farming, and goes into great detail of beef production in particular. The author is not a vegetarian, so there is less of an agenda than with some books. The next part of the book is in detail about the industrial corn farming and the amount of by-products and frankenfood in convenience foods. Whatever your decision, this is good knowledge to have.
go to a health food store or a natural food store they should have a good selection.good luck.make sure you get all the vitamins and iron your diet may be lacking to be healthy.
Diet for a New America by John Robbins
the moosewood cookbooks (there are several now) are probably the most comprehensive cookbooks for vegetarianism out there- i love and grew up with them (and am NOT a vegetarian, they're just that good)....they talk in-depth about food origins, but also about the things that are important in a vegetarian diet, the ethics of it, etc. check them out- also an amazing restaurant in upstate new york!
my favorite is 'sundays at moosewood,'- lots of ethnic cuisine and explanations about them!
