In The Complete Idiot's Guide(r) to Plant-Based Nutrition, readers will find:

• Where to get nutrients that others get from meat and dairy.

• How to avoid the vegan pitfall of overfed but undernourished.

• How to spot hidden animal ingredients in packaged foods.

• Tips for eating at restaurants.
