The Restore-Our-Planet Diet: Food Choices, Our Environment, and Our Health

This book is perfect for people transitioning to a vegan diet as well as for seasoned vegans. The Restore-Our-Planet Diet describes conceptually first the detrimental impacts on the environment of our prodigious meat and dairy consumption, as well as the negative health impacts on chronic diseases. It then illustrates the individual impacts through side-by-side comparisons of meat dishes with vegan counterparts. You’ll see how much water you save, how much manure you eliminated, and how much greenhouse gas you diverted when you choose the vegan version over the meat version. It is illustrated for beef, pork, chicken, and dairy recipes. The book also gives a comparison of our anatomy with carnivores, omnivores, and herbivores; and finally, it concludes with a few chapters of scrumptious recipes.
