Format:Mass Market Paperback
I know it sounds corny, but this book really did change my life. I am now a vegetarian, and will be one until I die, largely because of reading Diet for a Small Planet 6 years ago. This book decribes and illuminates the effects that meat-eating has on the world - economic, environmental, and social. I defy anyone to read this book and still feel comfortable with eating meat.

This is one very informed lady. She has been studying food for decades, and has a mountain on interesting (scary really) facts (statistics, not opinions) to share. Granted, she promotes vegitarianism, but she does not try to force it down your throat. This book is not a over passionate rally-the-troops book, it is a point by point factual account of that state of the world food situation. If you are or want to be a vegitarian, definitely buy this book. Even if you are just an interested observer, still buy it. You will be amazed at the little known facts presented here.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I bought this book in 1986, there were very few books around then that treated nutrition as a serious subject. I read this book, and others by adelle davies, miriam polunin,etc.I changed the way my family ate. Many of my friends took heed and also modified their family's diet. my son gary mccallion died six years ago from testicular cancer,i will never get over our loss, however i am comforted by the knowledge that bad dietary habits did not contribute to his illness. Read this book and take charge of your life.

I have been a vegetarian for fifty years and read this book when it first came out. It was a wonderful help to getting enough protein, the perpetual vegetarian quest. Read more

I have had an earlier copy of this for many years but it is now falling apart. This new edition is very good.

Decent recipes, poor understanding of economics
The recipes are reasonable, but the real issue in vegetarian diets isn't protein - instead the problem comes from the reduced availability of iron and other minerals. Read more
