I picked this up thinking it was a Vegan cook book. It is not. Recipe part = very small. I read the whole thing with a grain of salt, thinking that Alicia Silverstone is an actress, not a scientist, not a doctor. That said, I loved it! I'm on day 2 of her Superhero diet, but already I'm so impressed! The whole grains is the aspect I was missing. Even if it turns out not to work, I love the ideals she puts forth in this book: Diets are not supposed to be mean, or torturous, or turn you into a mean, grouchy, hungry person. No diet is worth that. You need to love your body! You need to nourish your body! You need to be kind to your body! That really rang true to me. I'm really excited to see how I feel in a few weeks. More energy? More peaceful? I can't wait to see!
Great book. Lays out the reasons why people should pursue vegetarian/vegan diets. I was terrified by the environmental implications of a meat diet. As environmental protection and urban renewal enthusiast, it made me feel better about my vegetarian diet. People need to care more about our planet, where we live, and our daily lifestyles. You just can't drive 15 miles to work anymore. My dad is an agricultural engineer, and as I learned from him, the way our food is grown/made is terrible. The environmental implications will be felt for a long period time, and even longer, if we do nothing about it. Also with genetic engineering in crops, diseases could wipe out our entire food supply! That's scary.
Good book but wish it had more easy recipes, still found it very informative.
Lots of information and awesome recipes.
