Publisher's Synopsis
If you have ever thought about waging a war on fatty foods, found yourself choosing fish over meat, or paused at the vegetable bins in the supermarket over some exotic new fruit or vegetable, you could be a gradual vegetarian. In this step-by-step guide to moving away from meat, Lisa Tracy takes the trouble out of transitioning from carnivore to herbivore by encouraging readers-and eaters-to progress at their own pace through the spectrum of vegetarianism, however quickly or slowly. Replete with facts, instructions, suggestions, and recipes, The Gradual Vegetarian makes daunting dietary changes less overwhelming, showing that even the most simple changes in eating habits can be rewarding. Whatever readers' motives might be-whether economic, moral, health-related-this book is certain to shed light on the manifold benefits of the vegetarian diet. With a proven three-stage process, The Gradual Vegetarian outlines how to shop, cook, and organize in preparation for an increasingly meat-free, fat-free, and cholesterol-free diet, no matter the location or situation. There has never been a more convenient time to be-or become-a gradual vegetarian.
