After an intense personal loss, I decided to avoid eating animals in any form for three months. After reading this book, I have remained vegan for nine months and have no plans to reesume eating meat or dairy products. Mr. Marcus explains the basics of veganism and how following an animal free diet can can make a contribution to global improvement. It's easy to eat a vegan diet as there are so many wonderful foods available. And this book also gives you the tools to defend your choice of diet when people in the lunch room start harrasing you about eating 'leaves and twigs.'

This book illustrates the benefits of veganism to the environment, to our health and to the animals that are silently tortured. No exaggerations or fanaticism necessary, just facts and witnesses. I am purchasing several additional copies of this book to lend out, these are important issues that we all have a responsibility to know about and act upon.

I have been vegetarian for a few months and have now made the switch to vegansim. This book covers all reasons to become vegan, for health, environmental purposes, and to spare animals. He looks at vegetarian/vegan diets from multiple doctors like Ornish and Terry Shintani. He also talks about Farm Sanctuary which rescues animals in need. I loved this book and found it quick and interesting reading.

A must read to be informed of the truth about the animal food industry. Although it does contain health info it is not a guide on how to eat vegan.

I was looking for a book that could educate me on what exactly a vegan lifestyle looks like, as well as how this lifestyle would impact the animals and myself. I was rather surprised to learn about the other big reason people take the plunge, that being its effects on our earth. The book is presented in a very reader-friendly manner, laying out the facts and organizing the sections so that the books' purpose is clearly defined. Another fun aspect to Vegan is the stories of people who transformed their lives to take on a vegan lifestyle and the reasons why they took this route, as well as information about organizations which thrive off of protecting animals and our planet. I like to think of them as the unsung heroes, keeping life running smoothly. READ on...you'll see what I mean.

This book was a real eye opener to me about becoming vegan. Before I read this book I was a vegetarian. After I finished the book, I decided to become a vegan. It's a really powerful and informative book. Some of the information regarding inhumanity to animals is disturbing but society needs to hear exactly what happens to the animals on factory farms. Wonderful book!!

This book is soooo profound! I became a vegan immediately after reading it - and I used to love T-bone steaks. But the facts speak for themselves.
