Author: Sally Kneidel, Ph.D.

For anyone choosing a vegetarian diet or even thinking about it, Veggie Revolution, provides a comprehensive look at the many reasons people cite for giving up meat. Although one of the most common motives is concerns for animals, there are a number of other equally important reasons to become a vegetarian, including improving health, preserving the environment, and working toward a sustainable planet. More and more people interested in social consciousness are making deliberate dietary choices, and vegetarianism, in particular, is the ultimate form of grassroots activism. Once you've decided that the vegetarian lifestyle is for you, Veggie Revolution will make your entree into this new lifestyle even more delicious with numerous recipes that are sure to exceed your greatest expectations.

While there are a number of books that discuss activism at the end of a fork, Veggie Revolution is the only one that provides in-depth research into the modern American food industry. Sally and Sara Kate Kneidel take you inside four factory farms, giving visceral accounts of what they saw there and providing exclusive photographs taken from the inside. They then explore four family farms, contrasting corporate farming methods with a more humane approach to raising animals. Their thorough research and nonjudgmental approach provide the tools you need to make an educated choice about the food you eat.
