Never Too Late to Go Vegan: The Over-50 Guide to Adopting and Thriving on a Plant-Based Diet by Virginia Messina, Patti Breitman, Carol J. Adams

3.0

This book contains some good information about why a vegan diet is healthy and why it can help you to be healthy even after the age of 50. The book is well-written and easy to read and I did learn some things from it. I was not thrilled, however, with the recipes because they rely on fake meat, fake milks and other fake food highly processed products. I think that the concept of eating a vegan diet sounds great, but I also want to eat whole foods and avoid processed foods, soy and GMOs. I have yet to find a vegan cookbook that is only whole foods and does not contain highly processed fake foods. I have, in the past, tried some of the fake meat - textured vegetable protein crumbles - disgusting, and vegan sausage - also disgusting, and vegan "cheeses" - and really, all of them are not only nasty tasting, but they are highly processed. So, if you don't mind using those ingredients, then you will like the recipes too. I received this book free to review from Netgalley.
