review 1: There are many books out there talking about having a plant-based diet and what that means for your body, health, and the environment. To me, this one stands above the others. I heard the author talk about this book on NPR one day. They of course would not say the title of the book. I must admit, I didn't think much of the book initially when I saw the title of the book. But hearing John Joseph talk about the book, hearing the passion that he has in delivering this message, and hearing about his past....I was sold. I immediately grabbed this book and read it very quickly. I've read a lot of books on this subject and many just throw out stats to us (how many people are obese, how many die of heart attacks, and so on). They all sound the same. Many times, its like the author... mores are just writing these books, but don't really believe in their message. Yeah, there were some stats in this book also, but it has so much more. John Joseph doesn't hold back the punches. He tells it like it is. And frankly, sometimes I think a person needs that punch in the gut to make them understand what most people eat is killing them. I am on a plant-based diet and have been for a long time. When people ask me about how and why I eat the way I do, now, I'll just point them to this book. At times it was sad, funny, intelligent, and overall a great read.
review 2: John Joseph brings a punk rock approach to a "eat a plant based diet" book. That means a no holds barred approach - and some colorful language. I wasn't sure I wanted to read Meat Is For Pussies since I'm already on the road towards his kind of diet. So I picked it up and started reading to see if it was worth reading and found that Joseph hooked me right away. The book was spirited, of course, but also insightful into the effects on our bodies of both plants and meats. I hung with him throughout and find I'm ready to go to the next level as a result. Thanks for the push, John!I give Meat Is For Pussies 5 stars for info and spirit and 3 stars (still good!) for writing for an average of 4 stars. less
