This is a fabulous book. It condenses the information that I have read in both The China Study by Colin Campbell and The Food Revolution by John Robbins in a very readable and convincing manner. There are a lot of simple and great recipes in the last third of the book which will help you on your way to eliminate meat and dairy from your diet. Rip has done a remarkable job with this book. He has a website which will help keep you on track as well. Check it out at www.theengine2diet.com. If everyone followed what he so eloquently wrote about in this book we would be much healthier and less of a strain and drain on our healthcare system. More importantly you will feel the best you have felt in your life.
