Book Reviews of Diet for a Small Planet
Book Review: Great Book.....Full of Usefull Information
Summary: 5 Stars
Im going to say first that this book is outdated but its still one of the most informative books ive ever read. Its great for anyone of any age. Her writting and the information provided was very thought provoking. Im not what you would call a "Health Nut" (not that their's anything wrong with that) But i do make sure i eat right and exercise, which is why i decided to read this book. Im one of the millions of americans without health insurance, so diet and exercise is especially important to me because it reduces my risks of many common health problems. I didnt actually buy this book, it was given to me as a gift. I put off reading it for about 2 months but when i started reading i couldnt turn the pages fast enough. I forgot to mention im a vegetarian so im always reading up on nutrition. Another book that compliments this one well is "From Vegetables, With Love" by Siri Ved Kaur Khalsa.
