Don't Be a Vegetarian!: Making an Informed Decision

By Natasha Campbell-McBride

Don't Be a Vegetarian scientifically explains how animal and plant foods affect human physiology, and why vegetarianism and veganism are unhealthy for humanity and our planet.

Written by Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride, creator of the internationally recognised GAPS(TM) (Gut and Psychology Syndrome and Gut And Physiology Syndrome) concept and the GAPS Nutritional Protocol, this book draws on decades of clinical experience, nutritional science, evolutionary biology, and human physiology to examine one of the most important questions in human nutrition: What are we designed to eat?

Dr Natasha explains how the human digestive system processes animal foods and plant foods in profoundly different ways, how nutrients from these foods are absorbed and utilised, and why understanding these differences is essential for achieving lasting health and vitality. She explores the strengths and limitations of vegetarian and vegan diets, discusses the role of fasting, and examines how traditional cultures have nourished themselves throughout history.

The book also looks beyond nutrition to address where our food comes from, how modern food production has changed the quality of what we eat, and how to make informed dietary choices for yourself and your family. It includes practical guidance on feeding children, building a nutrient-dense diet, and eating in harmony with human biology.

Known for her ability to explain complex science in clear, accessible language, Dr Natasha takes readers on a fascinating journey through human nutrition, challenging popular assumptions while providing the scientific evidence behind her conclusions. Fully referenced and meticulously researched, Don't Be a Vegetarian is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how food truly affects the human body, and make informed decisions about their diet.
