I'm not vegeterian or vegan, and never will be. It's unhealthy and unnatural, especially being vegan. People who say that meat/dairy is bad for you are throwing the baby out with the bathwater. The reality is that too much meat/dairy, and the too much of the wrong kinds, is what's bad for you. For example: McDonalds hamberger is bad for you; fresh-caught salmon baked in the over, fantastic for you. Now, because I don't eat a lot of meat, I enjoy veggie cookbooks like this, and this one has a lot of my favourite recipies. So I love it for that. But the preachiness of Mr. Robbins is totally off-putting, and the 'science' in this books out-of-date, and taken out of context as well. Use it for the great recipies, ignore the preaching.

I have not actually tried any of the recipes in this book, I've just read the text. John Robbins' style is a little New-Agey mushy, but the information is good, and he's passionate about his subject.
