Diet for a New America
is considered by many to be the bible of vegetarianism
because it's both incredibly comprehensive and deeply moving. While
some vegetarian books cover only factory farming, or health &
nutrition, or the environmental benefits of vegetarian diets, Robbins
covers all three. What's more, the content has been meticulously
researched, with Robbins offering dozens of pages of complete
footnotes. If you're looking for a book with solid, hard proof of how
vegetarians easily get plenty of protein, why meat is the #1 killer in
the U.S., or how badly farm animals are treated, you won't do better
than this volume. Diet for a New America has been credited with
launching the second wave of vegetarianism in the U.S. when it was
published (and nominated for a Pulitzer) in 1987. It's still timely
today. If you read one book in your life, read this one. Read excerpt or  $2.00

The McDougall Program. Dr. McDougall ran an amazingly
successful 12-day in-patient vegetarian program at the St. Helena
Hospital in Deer Park, California. Participants were able to
eliminate or drastically reduce insulin and high blood pressure
medicines almost immediately. This book shows how to do it without
going to the clinic. Convincingly presents the case for the health
benefits of a vegetarian diet from the viewpoint of a trained medical
professional. Contains over 130 recipes. Probably the best of all the
McDougall Books. Read excerpt or $1.82

The McDougall Plan. Dr.
John McDougall is the foremost expert on vegetarian nutrition, being
the first to eloquently publicize the relationship between meat &
disease, and plants & health. This debut effort received only scant
attention when published in 1984, but it formed much of the inspiration
for the nutrition section of John Robbins' runaway bestseller Diet
for a New America. Here McDougall proves conclusively that it's
easy to get plentiful protein by eating any plant food, even without
"protein combining". He also conclusively demonstrates the hazards of
high fat, high protein diets, and the advantages of vegetarian diets,
backed up with solid references to the medical literature. Never dry,
and with exceptionally informative charts, you'll wish this book were
required reading for the nutritional establishment. $2.75

The McDougall Program
for Women: What every woman needs
to know to be healthy for life. Dr. John McDougall has long
been at the forefront of women's health care. First to publish a
groundbreaking article showing the benefits of a low-fat diet for women
with breast cancer in 1983, he continues to lecture regularly on
women's health issues and has cared for tens of thousands of women who
have benefited dramatically from his advice. Now he arms women with the
facts needed to achieve a lifetime of good health in his timely,
important, comprehensive new book, explaining approaches to breast
cancer, osteoporosis, weight loss, and a host of other issues.
McDougall emphasizes the importance of preventing disease
before it develops, but also offers practical advice on treating
existing conditions. Unfortunately, you probably won't get honest and
informed McDougall-style advice from your own doctor, even though
McDougall's positions are backed up by a mountain of references to
scientific literature. $8.70

and intensely motivational. $5.39
