This book should have been called "All you Ever Wanted to Know About Vegetarianism (But Were Afraid to Ask)". If you're a vegetarian trying to cope with well-meaning carnivores (e.g. "Are you getting enough protein, dear?"), this book will tell you what to do. After reading it, leave it in a conspicuous place so that a non-vegetarian can read it. Fears about dietary deficiencies will be allayed, and understanding will be gained as to why some people don't eat meat. It's written in a friendly, non-accusatory manner, so meat-eaters will be able to read it and learn without having a guilt trip laid on them.
