The World Peace Diet: Eating for Spiritual Health and Social Harmony by Will Tuttle
4.5
Really insightful, pairs well alongside vegan research (my main outlets are Ed Winters and Dr. Michael Greger).
Although a lot of information in here was impactful, some arguments could have benefited by being expounded upon like the mention of topics in other books, as well as some jargon (I had to research to find out that the "K" being referred to was K-Casein, jargon isn't bad, but odd when placed in an otherwise laymen's text).
I really appreciated some of the spiritual conversations, especially the domination of the feminine section, how women are viewed as meat, etc.
Overall, I think the main argument of our herding culture leading to the world's problems would have gelled with me more if it was structured better. There was more evidence for this argument, one that permeates the book, towards the end chapters rather than in the beginning when it was first mentioned.
I think this is a good, encompassing introduction or reference to veganism though it does have some "woo" in it; I was waiting for the science on why it's better to not take medication (like Advil) when the reasoning was attributed to more spirituality based 'trust' in the body.
Not without its flaws, but offers great conversations to think about.
