Please Review The Book If You Intend To Leave One...
For those who lack time, let me sum up the bad reviews for you:

1. Either complains about sellers in the marketplace
2. Issues with Silverstone supporting PETA
3. Issues with the viewpoint AKA veganism, macro, etc.
4. Issues with the ingredients in the book

Most of this book is not recipes. That's okay, it's more a story of Alicia's struggles and viewpoints. I found it quite enjoyable, a quality read that went quickly. I wasn't looking at this to be my new Bible, however.

Nicely done yet immensely impractical
There are many wonderful ideas and noble causes in this book, however, as a normal everyday person without a personal chef and a family to feed and a budget to keep, it is highly impractical. Most of the ingredients are difficult to find Japanese food items you can't get in a regular grocery store. Like, a kubatcha squash, just try and find it or figure out when it's in season. It's a nice "pie in the sky" ideology, but that's not what most people need. Sure I want to lay off the animal products and save the planet too. It's just not doable for the average person.

unique presentation

I very much enjoy reading this book. I read a few pages here and there every day and learn something new everytime. Love the presentation of the topics mixed with life experiences and great recepies.

So Much Information!
Between the book and the "Kind Life" website, Alicia Silverstone created some great tools for people to choose a vegan lifestyle more easily! The book is filled with lots of information as well as some great recipes.

Find Out About The Dangers Associated With Dieting

qweDieting should have sensible basis otherwise it may do nothing but undermine and ruin your health. There are some dangers associated with dieting. Danger 1 - on my own The habit always to rely upon oneself is not the appropriate tactics in dieting. Fattiness like any other diseases should be treated under the strict doctor’s control. Every one is unique and needs certain and specific approach. Someone may be stout but have a good health someone may have few “extra kilos” which will intermix with serious diseases. So you should be completely aware of your current state. Work, life style, surroundings, living conditions and even climate should be taken in account when choosing a diet. Danger 2 - on the buckwheat There are several dieting myths: you should eat meat, you should eat once or twice a day, it’s useful to eat only buckwheat or apple pines for example. Each product is wholesome for sure but only in the combination with other useful products. And if you decided to keep to a “one-side” diet you merely deprive yourself of necessary and vital elements. The greatest problems may cause incredible protein decrease, especially animal protein which can not be substituted by soy or legumes protein. Animal protein is the base for ferments and hormones production. In case you reduce protein consumption the reproductive function gets worse and the blood formula changes. Another danger is the lack of calcium which we usually get of the diary products. This element is absolutely necessary especially for the young organism which bones are still in the process of formation. The variety of food is the main point of the right diet. Remember you may eat everything but with the sense of measure. Fish, vegetables and fruits are irreplaceable products and should “find place” in your diet however. Danger 3 – only diet If you really want to loose weight and not to regain it you’d better thing about dieting and physical loading as separate things but work out the plan of healthy life style. It may include the food we eat, the way we spend our free time, sleep and whatever. The main tendency today is square meals and minimum of physical exercise. The quantity of energy we receive should not exceed the quantity we consume. The simplest recommendations are to eat divisionally – every 3 or 4 hours in little quantities, not to eat before going to bed. Danger 4- food is my best friend The other stumbling block is to compensate stress depression by eating sweets and chocolates. Some times in such situations a person may eat even when he is not hungry. Remember everything is in your own hands.
