Written by the author of the popular nutrition classic, Diet and Nutrition, this book explores the health issues surrounding vegetarianism and helps the aspiring vegetarian make the transition in a way that provides the greatest health benefits. The book is well researched, easy to read, and an excellent resource for both the seasoned and would-be vegetarian.

As Americans become increasingly aware of the health hazards posed by a traditional meat-and-potatoes diet, vegetarianism becomes less esoteric and more appealing. The author of Diet and Nutrition: A Holistic Approach here presents information and arguments on how and why one should switch to a vegetarian diet. A medical doctor, Ballentine warns against making the transition too quickly and advocates a gradual withdrawal from red meat, poultry and fish, combined with a gradual increase in other sources of proteins and vitamins. Supported with footnotes and documentation, this book will make vegetarians even more grateful to have changed and may persuade would-be vegetarians to persevere, but it's doubtful whether it will stop meateaters from having another burger.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
