Five years in the making and with a foreword by Dr. Will Tuttle, author of The World Peace Diet, Why Animals Aren’t Food is the one nutrition book vegans have sought for decades… and a book all animal eaters should read too… It’s the first and only compilation of nutrition science to describe in simple words the dozens of animal ‘ingredients’ besides cholesterol which injure us; the multiple mechanisms by which they maim us; the myriad parasites and microbes with which animals infect us; the environmental pollutants with which they contaminate us; and the scores of healing processes and vital nutrients they lack. Why Animals Aren't Food is a suitable companion piece to Dr. Michael Greger's definitive layperson’s guide to healthy eating – How Not to Die – which “accentuates the positive” of eating whole plants to minimize or eliminate our top 15 killers. Why Animals Aren't Food shows how “eliminating the negative” of eating animals and junk helps us achieve our longest and healthiest, slimmest and happiest lives. Not specifically a weight-loss manual, the book contains the only 10 words of weight loss advice we'll ever need. When we eat ourselves healthy with whole plants, ideal weight management follows automatically.
