Product Description
From Amazon
Vegetarianism is not merely a healthier, more eco-friendly, more humane way to live. According to Victor Parachin, it's a guaranteed conversation starter (reason #11); it makes it easier to control weight (#31); it teaches you to identify adzuki, fava, mung, and numerous other types of beans (#56); it prevents constipation (#171); and it can save you thousands of dollars a year in food costs (#346). Peppered throughout are quotes from vegetarians ranging from Paul McCartney ("Eating bits of [animals] makes no sense") to Immanuel Kant ("We can judge the heart of man by his treatment of animals"), along with Albert Einstein, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Plutarch, and Albert Schweitzer. 365 Good Reasons to Be a Vegetarian is fun to read, even for nonvegetarians, and sure to be inspirational for those who've chosen the meatless path through life.
Book Description
From humane treatment of animals to health considerations, the reasons that people choose vegetarian lifestyles are as diverse as vegetarians themselves. The 14 million vegetarians in the United States will appreciate these pearls of wisdom from such famous vegetarians as Leonardo da Vinci, Hank Aaron, and Albert Einstein, among others. 50 illustrations.

Quirky gift, but short on information,
By Stephanie "crazygrrl1369" (Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 365 Good Reasons To Be A Vegetarian (Paperback)
To fill a book with 365 unique tidbits of why someone should be a vegetarian is a difficult task to undertake. The author does their best to make the reasons interesting, however, it becomes apparent that there is little substance to this book. There are numerous quotes from "famous" persons which were quite interesting. Overall, this book is an easy read, but I found it to be quite repetitive. It makes a quirky gift for a vegetarian, but no serious information about the vegetarian lifestyle can be gained from reading it.
