Product Description
In The Kind Diet, actress, activist, and committed conservationist Alicia Silverstone shares the insights that encouraged her to swear off meat and dairy forever, and outlines the spectacular benefits of adopting a plant-based diet, from effortless weight loss to clear skin, off-the-chart energy, and smooth digestion. She explains how meat, fish, milk, and cheese—the very foods we’ve been taught to regard as the cornerstone of good nutrition—are actually the culprits behind escalating rates of disease and the cause of dire, potentially permanent damage to our ecology. Yet going meat- and dairy-free doesn’t mean suffering deprivation; to the contrary, The Kind Diet introduces irresistibly delicious food … More >>

Comments
I don’t know anything about this book, but I think Alicia Silverstone is a rude and obnoxious person. I would never spend my good money on a product of hers.

I got this book because of the Oprah interview. It was only later that I learned that Alicia Silverstone is a PETA member and spokeperson; and within a few pages I realized that the book is completely filled with political points of view and PETA propaganda.
C’mon Alicia! Why you didn’t mention you’re a peta member on Oprah??? Why did you hide it? You really got me and I wasted some money! These are very hard times for a lot of us you know… oh yeah you live in HOLLYWOOD!
(There are much better unbiased vegan books here in Amazon)

Ms Silverstones book is very sweet. She is a very nice woman, trying hard. However, everyday she nastily kills many many organisms just by existing. Something must die so she can live. This is Nature of which we are a part. Yes, it is a cruel system but there it is. Being old and having known quite a few vegans, i will tell you that they all got sick eventually from lack of protein and other meat(beef,fowl,fish,etc) provided nutrients. We are omnivores because we need the nutrients provided in all those foods:grains, veggies, fruit, meats,etc.in a balance which varies from person to person. Now could we raise our food animals with compassion instead of the horror we allow now? Of course, and i wish we would and hope we do. But before you adopt Ms Silverstones plan or any other vegan diet, really think about about Nature, how it operates and how humans are of it and dependent on it for EVERYTHING. If we disappear Nature will go on. If Nature disappears we will not. As with all else, we should manage everything we do more carefully, certainly more compassionately but we can not divorce ourselves from
Nature and how it works. As George Carlin once said, The earth will shake us off like a bad case of fleas, if we become too hard for the earth to handle. The earth and Nature are bigger, stronger, etc etc etc than we will ever be. Natures plan need be our plan, even if one believes it cruel.
We are omnivores who require food from all food groups for optimal health.

I have two eyes on the front of my head and pointy teeth in my mouth. Just like all carnivorous predators. If you have two eyes on the sides of your head and flat teeth in your mouth then this book is for you.
