Customer Reviews

This book is not worth anyone’s time

It vaguely explains health benefits for vegans and what vitamins are important and that’s the most it has to offer. You can Google that for free. I cannot believe that in the book they recommend eating cream of wheat, Raisin Bran, and plant based meat! It’s lab created junk food! I read reviews all about how this is one of the best books to read if you’re interesting in going vegan. Instead I suggest just reading The China Study and eating what plants work for you. They aren’t letting me return this book so I wasted my money.
