"Vegans are cool and plant-based dining is hot."
If you're only going to read one book this year - pick up Main Street Vegan. It will change your life. It is so much more than a book about being a vegan, it is a book about being a compassionate healthy person - the very best you can be. I actually cried reading this book. I almost never do it, and for a non-fiction book to affect me that way. I am so inspired by Victoria Moran and I will definitively pick up her back list.
"Much of Main Street Vegan is light reading and light of heart, about great food, looking good, and feeling fantastic; but parts of it may be tough going, especially if you're reading for the first time about what the animals go though."
This book cover everything from the animals, the ethics, the compassion, the love, the food, the clothes, the honey, the circus, the make-up, the wine, the kids and includes a lot of delicious recipes. I read this because I was curious about going vegan - now I am sure that I'm ready for the transition. It covers everything I worry about: going to restaurants, travel abroad and dealing with non-supportive surroundings. The main message is that everything you do is great - even if it is to start with meatless Monday.
"The idea is to do this, either all at once or in stages, in a way that's comfortable and fun, improves your health, makes sense in your actual life, and lasts forever."
The book is written for new vegans, but I imagine that I will go back to this wonderful book many times and I am sure it is a great inspiration, reminder and boost also for long time vegans. There are so many amazing parts - I am glad I got the kindle edition so I could make (a lot) of highlights! However, I am off to buying the hardcover edition as well - I must have it on my book shelves as well. I cannot emphasize enough how much I loved this book. I want to give it to everyone I know but I will take Victoria's advice and don't push it onto people. I would recommend it to everyone, except maybe if you absolutely want to be able to eat you meaty junk food without thinking about it.
5++ stars!
"The bottom line is: This is not difficult; it is just new. New and wonderful."

Ugh, well...
I gave it 4 stars. I'm half way through and what made me slow down was the under researched "milk takes away from your bones" argument. I'm not sure if that's entirely the truth, but I shall continue to read when I can. I love the recipes at the end of each chapter. It's a wonderful treat to someone's experiences and explanations.
