   This book is full of so much misinformation, it’s astounding.

   And I cannot believe that Derrick Jensen gave it a glowing review. I thought he was someone who believed in compassion. Apparently not.

   The writer of this book should read “The China Study.” I feel that Keith is writing more out to get money then actually help anyone. I read it trying to be open minded but Keith lack’s good research to back this belief.

   I can agree with the truth that all types of eating are pretty much destroying the world. But until we all evolve into beings who do not need to eat, ala the celestian prophecy, every way of eating and every “cult” around that way of eating is unavoidable. This author has evolved from a ranting vegan into a ranting non vegan. Not all vegans believe their way of life is perfect solution or have eating disorders. Veganism, is for some, a spiritual, personal choice. And although 1/3 of all anorexics/bulemic may be vegetarians, 2/3 are not. People who don’t eat meat are just another segment of the population demographic, like meat eaters or Christians or people who like horses. whatever. The “facts” in this book are are extremely scewed to reflect the authors opinions and not well researched.

   I am really looking forward to reading this book, but I have not done so yet.

   My review is about A1Books who sold me this book. I suggest that you not buy from A1books. They sent me the wrong book and their customer service has been horrible. It is so much effort to get the correct book. I wish I had just gone to the local book store and bought the book instead.

   Buyer Beware

   T. Colin Campbell’s classic book says it all. Kieth’s work is just the latest in a string of oppositionalism that catapults writers to fame– Dan Brown, anyone?

   When I became a vegan, health problems I had had FOR YEARS disappeared– they were fully attributable to hormone imbalances in my environment and particularly in the foods that I had been eating.

   There will always be those like Kieth who try to excuse lifestyle failings (whether in reality, or just in terms of promoting their own careers)– so the moral and political vegans will continue to come under fire.

   But purely health conscious vegans need never fear– when it’s done right, the vegan diet has no equal in terms of positive benefits.
