Book Review: The Vegetarian Solution by Stewart Rose

Improve Your Health and Your World: Vegetarian Diet is the Answer to Cancer, Heart Disease, Global Warming, Animal Welfare, and More

Stewart Rose is Vice-President of Vegetarians of Washington, one of the largest, most dynamic regional vegetarian societies in the U.S.

Stewart Rose's book, The Vegetarian Solution, explains why a vegetarian diet is best for our health, the environment, global warming, animal welfare, and our souls. While many such books are alarming, strident and make us feel terribly guilty, 'The Vegetarian Solution' is a friendly, compassionate, upbeat, quietly persuasive book about the many reasons for going vegetarian.

Stewart Rose includes all of the necessary scientific facts and figures about vegetarian diet, health, global warming, the environment, and animal agriculture, complete with charts and illustrations. But he eases into all that with his feel-good first chapter, explaining how natural, healthy, easy, tasty and popular it is to be a vegetarian. The second chapter tells the new vegetarian how to do it right. Chapters 3 and 4 get into the health aspects of vegetarian diet.

Only after the readers have mentally gone veg, and saved their health, does the the author hit them with the harsh environmental and social realities that go with our heavy meat consumption. Global hunger, global warming, and animal suffering are covered in the briefest, kindest, sweetest possible way. While getting the message across, Stewart Rose gently emphasises the positive, supporting the tender new commitment to a vegetarian diet.

Finally, The Vegetarian Solution links food and faith, weaving the spiritual thread of vegetarian diet through the history of all faiths, giving the whole veg vs non-veg controversy to God. Not many people could argue with that.

When I first skimmed through Stewart Rose's book, I had the mistaken impression that it was a bit simplistic. Now, after reading it thoroughly, I think that The Vegetarian Solution is a quiet masterpiece, and I recommend it for anyone who's new to the idea of a vegetarian diet.
