Synopsis

 Better sex, glowing skin, and more money…by going vegan
 
Did you know that if you adopt a vegan diet you can enjoy better sex? Save money? Have glowing skin? You can ward off Alzheimer’s, Type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and other metabolic diseases. You can eat delicious burgers. Help save the planet. Join the cool kids, like Gandhi, Tolstoy, Leonardo—and Kyrie Irving, Kat Von D, and Joaquin Phoenix. Oh, and did we mention have better sex? (It’s about blood flow.)

Those are just some of the 72 reasons we should all be vegan, as compiled and persuasively argued by Gene Stone and Kathy Freston, two of the leading voices in the ever-growing movement to eat a plant-based diet. While plenty of books tell you how to go vegan, 72 Reasons to Be Vegan is the book that tells you why. And it does so in a way that emphasizes not what you’d be giving up, but what you’d be gaining.
 
"Bestselling vegan activist Kathy Freston and the movement’s best chronicler, Gene Stone, team up to give us 72 reasons to go plant based (and better sex is just one of them!) A must-read for anyone concerned about the future of our planet, their own health, or the moral ramifications of meat-eating.”
—Dan Buettner, National Geographic Fellow and author of The Blue Zones

I could easily go vegan and whenever I read helpful guides like this, I find myself wanting to eat more nuts, veggies and non-meat meals. 72 REASONS TO BE VEGAN convinced me that our bodies, minds and emotions can benefit when we choose this healthy lifestyle.

Goodreads review by Hákon on January 28, 2022

A short, but interesting book on why one should be vegan. It goes through 72 reasons for it, but some of them are actually quite similar. Nothing very surprising here, but I enjoyed reading it just the same. The writing style is quite entertaining, even though the subject matter is serious.......more

Goodreads review by Danielle on February 17, 2021

This book presents so many strong arguments for being a vegan. I like that it takes the time to explain the health, financial, and environmental benefits of adopting a plant-based lifestyle. Many thanks to Workman Publishing Company and NetGalley for the advance copy.......more

Goodreads review by Natalie on September 10, 2020

This book makes a great present to torture your not-vegan friends. I like the idea behind it and that it is based on good sources. But I prefer to read the sources, not the less scientific summary of them. I think the headings were weird sometimes and I didn’t like the overall design. This could loo......more
