Nutrition Becoming Vegan By Brenda Davis, R.D. & Vesanto Melina, M.S., R.D. This book is the antidote to the crazies. Whether it is the crazy vegans who insist any other way to eat is immoral and debilitating, or the crazy meat eaters who want to trick vegans into eating animal based foods to "save them". It is a serious, soothing book that does its best to give you all the facts so if you choose to persue a vegan foodstyle you can do so healthfully and with confidence. The authors are two of North America's foremost vegetarian dieticians and they do not have an axe to grind, except that we should all take care of ourselves and each other and get along.     In this book they cover everything you need to know to do well as a vegan. It is the most valuable book I've seen on this topic in decades. Highlights include: - A thorough vegan food guide that makes healthy daily meal planning easy. - An exhaustive examination of the proper role of dietary fat and essential fatty acids in the vegan diet, inlcuding Omega 3s. - Everything a vegan needs to know about vitamins and minerals, with a special focus on calcium, vitamin B12 and iron. - A convincing and well researched explanation on how plant proteins are not only sufficient but actually preferable to animal protein as a human food source. - A detailed look at the relationship between diet and chronic disease and the protective effects of vegan diets. - Special recommendations for each stage of life including infancy, childhood, adolescence, old age, pregnancy and lactation. - Special advice for vegan athletes. - A unique and much needed discussion on how to be a diplomatic vegan who remains heart centered, even in the most challenging situations. Vesanto Melina, MS, RDD, is a coauthor of the American Dietetic Association's "Position Paper on Vegetarian Nutrition," and of the Vegetarian section of the Manual of Clinical Dietetics. She consults for individuals, government, and vegetarian food companies and has taught nutrition at the University of British Columbia and at Bastyr University in Seattle. Brenda Davis, RD, is a nutrition consultant in private practice and the Vegan Advocacy Director of the CARE campaign. She is a past chair of the Nutrition Dietetic Practice Group of the American Dietetic Association.
