Mehso-so

Meh. Book felt aimed at people resisting/being coerced into vegan lifestyle. Lots of “miracle cure” type rhetoric at first. Then Barnard seems to want to sell the idea that plant-based eating is easy by giving examples of how to eat at restaurants/fast food places. Also promotes some things like vegan cookies or other junkier foods. Felt like book wasn‘t really a starter kit for the person who‘s already sold on vegan wanting to know more.

Soscha Ugh. I am vegan but that‘s entry level stuff, what Neal Bernard mostly does in his books. I‘m glad it‘s out there but if you know the arguments & want 💣 recipes that‘s not really the best go-to imo. 2y
DogMomIrene @Soscha Yeah! He has some recipes in the back, but they seem kind of meh too. Focused more on easy. I‘ve been getting vegan cookbooks from the library and I‘ve made some tasty stuff. I had high hopes for this book since I‘ve liked his perspective in the plant-based documentaries I‘ve watched, but I don‘t see me reading him again. 2y
