The Vegetarian Myth

I recommend a listen to an interview by David J. Getoff with Lierre Keith, author of The Vegetarian Myth to take in another perspective (I'm personally a vegetarian and really want to keep an open mind). Ms. Keith talks about her book and what prompted her to stop being a devoted and sincere vegetarian and a vegan and to instead expose some of the lies surrounding this manner of health and eating - go to http://lierrekeith.com.
