My Beef With Meat: the Healthiest Argument for Eating a Plant-Strong Diet - Plus 140 New Engine 2 Recipes
Nikotina says:
The author makes some compelling arguments for a plant strong diet - not sure how sound the science behind them is. My guess is you can find a study for any point you'd like to prove. Just as he cautions in his book, you can't trust a study that is funded by proponents or manufacturers of the product in question. (Other reviewers have mentioned the author's connection to Whole Foods)His writing style is sort of flippant. I guess that appeals to readers not looking for a serious sci...entific discussion. I don't doubt that this way of eating makes a person feel better. Any diet that cuts our processed foods and added fats and increases fruits and vegetables will do that. (Remember "Fit for Life"?) I do not like how whole groups of foods are categorically cut from this diet even if there are sound studies supporting their healthfulness i.e. Olive oil and fish. In the end it comes down to using common sense in addition to admitting our current "American" diet is very unhealthy.

We'll, I'm back to being a vegan. There you have it. Esselstyn argues nearly every point omnivores make for why we need meat and dairy in our diet- and comes out convincingly. The vegan bandwagon has had lots of attention lately, with documentaries and books everywhere: this would be a good starter for people curious why some people don't eat animal products. If you're considering gluten-free, paleo, or any other dietary changes to improve your health, try this book, too!MoreLess
