The Vegetarian Way : Total Health for You and Your Family
Virginia Messina, Mark Messina (Contributor)
$19.20

In this comprehensive and up-to-date book about vegetarianism, the Messinas answer every imaginable question about the safety and benefits of a meatless diet, from the perennial "How do you get enough protein?" to "What do you eat?" They address both ethical and health concerns, profile the vegetarian population (primarily female and over 40), analyze vegetarianism at every stage of life (from infancy to old age), and recommend numerous delicious meals. The authors explain exactly why a vegetarian diet is so healthy--the short version is that it's low in fat, high in fiber, and full of antioxidants--then proceed to describe plant sources of every major nutritional need. The Messinas compare the more rigorous vegan diet (no animal products) with the more common and maintainable lacto-ovo-vegetarian approach (dairy products and eggs included), and they offer a program for making the transition from an omnivorous diet to a semivegetarian, then completely vegetarian habit. This informative resource presents a strong case for the vegetarian way, a path to enhanced health and an overall sense of well-being.
