Best for: People who are interested in learning how and why to become vegetarian and maintain a healthy diet.

Standout Features: The book includes recipes and mentions responsible environmental eating practices.

Keep in Mind: There is a heavy bias toward vegetarian eating. Also, because of the book's age, many of the reasons given for the practices (i.e. protein balancing) may be questionable.
