| Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A. Price The Hunting Apes: Meat Eating and the Origins of Human Behavior by Craig B. Stanford The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability by Lierre Keith Craft Beef: A Revolution of Small Farms and Big Flavors by Joe Heitzeberg, Ethan Lowry, and Caroline Sanders Don’t Eat the Oil! The Health Consequences of Consuming “Vegetable” Oils by Thomas L. Copmann, MS, Ph.D. Fat: An Appreciation of a Misunderstood Ingredient, with Recipes by Jennifer McLagan The Case Against Sugar by Gary Taubes Skin in the Game by Nassim Nicholas Taleb 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos by Jordan B. Peterson This year I became ex-vegan and the books I read center around nutrition as such. I would recommend all of them. The Vegetarian Myth was the most shocking, one woman's struggles with health which finally opened my eyes. The Case Against Sugar was surprising for the depth of how many people and corporations were involved in promoting sugar on an unsuspecting public. Skin in the Game is Taleb's insightful observations as usual. Nutrition and Physical Degeneration is thorough and prescient, intriguing to see the drastic physical changes due to nutrition, and was I impressed by the dedicated research to study the effects of what was not known at the time but is now believed to be vitamin K2. |
I've spent time as a vegetarian, and ethically I find it desirable, but my body doesn't fly right without some meat.
