Book Reviews of Diet for a Small Planet
Book Review: Exposing the meat industry myths
Summary: 5 Stars
Frances Moore Lappe exposes the meat industry myths in this timeless book.
I wish I had read this book when it first came out. My wife and I quit eating beef, pork and chicken months ago and we discovered this book afterwards. The information relating to grains and beans combined makes perfect sense relating to maintaining an adquate daily protein intake.
Diet for a Small Planet exposes the myths the meat industry has used to brainwash the American population in thinking that only meat can supply an adquate protein source. Furthermore, the book exposes the immense waste of land and pollution produced through the raising of cattle, swine and chickens. As more land is tied up for livestock feed, more people world wide (including the US) go hungry as the meat industry becomes wealthy from a product which is unnecessary and unhealthy.
5 stars for an old book which has good wisdom.
Summary of Diet for a Small Planet
With the new emphasis on environmentalism in the 1990's, Lappe stresses how her philosophy remains valid, and how food remains the central issue through which to understand world politics.Essays Books
