'The most incredible book' Delia Smith
'Persuasive, entertaining and well researched' Sunday Times
Plant-based is best for health, go vegan to help save the planet, eat
less meat... Almost every day we are bombarded with the seemingly
incontrovertible message that we must reduce our consumption of meat and
dairy - or eliminate them from our diets altogether.
But what if the pervasive message that the plant-based diet will improve
our health and save the planet is misleading - or even false? What if
removing animal foods from our diet is a serious threat to human health,
and a red herring in the fight against climate change.
In THE GREAT PLANT-BASED CON, Jayne Buxton demonstrates that each of
these 'what-ifs' is, in fact, a reality. Drawing on the work of numerous
health experts and researchers, she uncovers how the separate efforts of
a constellation of individuals, companies and organisations are leading
us down a dietary road that will have severe repercussions for our
health and wellbeing, and for the future of the planet.
THE GREAT PLANT-BASED CON is neither anti-plant nor anti-vegan - it is a
call for us to take an honest look at the facts about human diets and
their effect on the environment. Shocking and eye-opening, this book
outlines everything you need to know to make more informed decisions
about the food you choose to eat.
