Good Reads for Any Vegan Reader

My very favorite book on veganism is "Becoming Vegan", written by Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina. It is very easy to read, not too big, and explains TONS of things about good nutrition for a plant-based diet. It has a vegan diet guide and data on research and many, many, many studies carried in different countries.

I am an obsessive compulsive buyer when it comes to books, and for being kind of a "newborn vegan", I bet that I have more books about veganism, vegetarianism, recipes, etc., than others like me. Some are better than others, but this one is outstanding. The authors are registered dietitians, and well versed in nutrition.

It is very informative and I recommend it even to people that are not vegan or trying to become one. In reading this book I am learning how eating too much or too little of a nutrient causes health problems (to both vegans and meat-eaters), and how plant-based diets are superior in delivering the nutrients we need, and in preventing and lowering risks of various diseases.

The authors also have a book on vegetarianism: "Becoming Vegetarian". Check it out.
