 Veganist: Lose Weight, Get Healthy, Change the World by Kathy Freston

Read this book! It is conversational, informative, and does not lay a guilt trip on you about your meat eating ways. However, the statistics about animal agriculture’s contribution to global warming, water, air and soil pollution, cruelty to animals (factory farming) as well as contributing to the underfeeding and malnourishment of 1.2 billion people is simply stunning. You may decide to lean into the veganist lifestyle, whether it is going vegetarian one night a week or giving up one animal at a time. Perfection is not expected or necessary.
