I hope this list helps. I have read all of them and highly recommend them. They

are not in order of preference or meaningfulness.

Thanks so much Linda for those titles! I'll be looking for them. I

wanted to read more on the subject and those sound perfect. Thanks so

much! I actually checked out " The Food Revolution " from the library a

few days ago, so I'm already reading that one. I read " Diet for a New

America " already but felt like reading his other books too. Thanks

again!

Erik Marcus' " Vegan: The New Ethics of Eating " is comprehensive regarding

the health, animal rights, and environmental aspects of veganism. Howard

Lyman has a new book, " No More Bull! " which is a follow-up of sorts. I've

just starting reading it, so I'll let you know how I like it when I'm done.

I also have heard of a book called " Skinny Bitch " which I hear is good.
