Perfect book for someone considering making changes to their diet to be more healthy or because their health depends on it. This isn't a preachy or a pushy book about going meatless. Instead the book encourages healthier eating habits and ways to make plant based diet changes. The book shows that not eating meat doesn't have to be all or nothing. Many do meatless Mondays, no meat before 6pm, or just reduce the amount of meat eaten through the week. The book is part information and part instructional. There are sections on animal welfare and animal agriculture's impact on the environment (water /gas emissions). Labeling used for eggs and meat products are simplified. For someone willing to make some small / drastic changes to their eating habits Middleton gives specifics on behaviors to start, ways to notice, and promote success. She includes simple swaps to foods the reader may already enjoy so more plant based eating doesn't seem so daunting. Lastly there are satisfying recipes. These are the not the lofty hard to recreate types in so many vegan cookbooks on the bookshelves. Middleton's recipes included mushroom barley soup, morning scramble, and braised tempeh. This is a good stepping stone to dip your feet into the meatless world.

I thought this was a great introduction to a life without meat. i think the way that the author presents the argument for moving towards a meatless diet was fantastic, especially when there are great and nutritious alternatives. I have not tried the recipes as yet but I plan to as soon as possible.
