Features: Vegetarianism is divided into four types: strict vegetarians, lacto-ovo vegetarians, lacto-vegetarians, and ovo-vegetarians. "New vegetarianism" began in the 1940s, and the food shortages during the two World Wars created a golden age for the vegetarian movement, saving the lives and health of hundreds of millions of people. In 1987, a book called The New American Diet was published, further sparking the modern vegetarian trend. Today, over 12 million people in the U.S. choose to follow a vegetarian diet for life, and nearly a hundred grassroots vegetarian groups have been established. This book will not only tell you about the origins of vegetarianism but also why we choose it, how to become a "vegetarian," and practical vegetarian maps, cooking tips, and nutritional pairing rules.
As the ancients said, "To purify the mind, one must first purify the mouth." Our lives have become too complicated—why not start now to rediscover simplicity, naturality, health, and perfection—through vegetarianism?
"I have no doubt that part of human dignity lies in gradually giving up meat." —Henry David Thoreau
"I believe that vegetarianism is of great benefit to humanity, not only in terms of changing human nature. Therefore, vegetarianism is very auspicious for humanity." —Albert Einstein
