FROM EXCUSE-ITARIAN TO VEGETARIAN: ADDRESSING THE BLOCKS THAT KEEP PEOPLE FROM

MAKING CHANGES:

" I tried eating vegetarian, but I just craved meat. " " I don't eat a lot of

meat. " " I don't have time to chop vegetables. " " Eating vegan is more expensive. "

Combining humor and wisdom to tackle the most popular excuses for not eating a

and offers sound and practical tips for living a life that reflects the values

of sustainability, compassion, and simplicity.
