This was a very informative and well written book. It's actually one of the few non-fiction books I have been able to read without feeling like I am going to die of boredom. If you have friends who are vegetarian or vegan and want to know reasons other than 'animals have feelings too' this book is for you. It covers the environmental, ethical and social fronts of vegetarianism in the best way I have ever encountered. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is able to read!
