Diana Hryniuk | 838 comments I read this book because it was recommended by my vegetarian sister, and despite initial reservations, I found it quite engaging. What stood out to me was the extensive use of studies, providing a well-rounded perspective rather than just one person's opinion. It made me more open-minded about the information presented.

While I don't see myself adopting a vegan lifestyle anytime soon, the book did prompt me to reevaluate our family's diet. We've started incorporating more plant-based foods and discovered some delicious new recipes. Overall, the impact the book had on my perspective makes it a worthwhile read in my opinion.

Thanks for your review. This sounds good to me. I like scientific evidence too, and I have vegetarians in my family as well. It would be nice to find more options for holiday meals. It’s easier to add in healthy foods than to cut out old favorites. We’ve managed to cut back on beef a lot, but it’s hard to give it up completely.

You won't find many recipes in this book, Nancy. It tells more about different kinds of food and how they help in fighting different diseases. I discovered new recipes because the book inspired me to do that.

But I saw that there exists another one by this author - The How Not to Die Cookbook. I'm sure you'll be able to find some interesting recipes there.
