I really enjoyed the information in this book about how what you eat directly affects our health and beauty and even the health and beauty of our children as we carry them. Also it was great to have a good recipe section to try out, although the desserts haven't been as good as I hoped. But overall I loved it.

I read quite a bit, and I have found this to be one of the best books I have ever read in terms of new ideas and content. I have always been interested in the positive side of the Occult and this book gave me a great perspective on life and how my intentions and attitude matter. I feel like it cleared up some long standing questions I have had. In a sense I wish I had found it much sooner in my life, I wish it had been the first book about magic I had ever read. It was a little hard to find but so worth it.

This is based on how I felt about it when I first read it in junior high, I thought it was a great book for someone that age, I haven't re-read it since acquiring it for my own collection but I remember liking it so much that I wanted a copy on hand to offer to my kids. Its sort of child friendly adventure/romance that stays pretty tame, a great place to start when you are still really just a kid but budding into adulthood.

Helpful Score: 2


I loved the honesty about the meat and dairy industry as well as the government's role. It was time to take my head out the sand and this book did it. The information about food additives was also very helpful. Great for anyone looking to take back control of their health, with lots of healthy vegan and even implied macrobiotic principles to help you on your way, although no recipes they do suggest further reading including cookbooks. I didn't care for the occasionally foul language but it was appropriately placed for emphasis.


The Vegetarian Female : A Guide to a Healthier Diet for Women of All Ages
Review Date: 1/18/2012


I really liked this review of the scientifically sound way to be vegetarian and if you so choose, vegan. It doesn't have recipes but lots of great food lists about how to get the nutrients you need on a vegan diet without worry. I also loved that the author has lived vegan for most of her life and loved it so much that she wrote this book to help others explore this lifestyle. I found it helped relieve any lingering doubts I had.
