Publisher's summary
We’ve been told that a vegetarian diet can feed the hungry, honor the animals, and save the planet. Lierre Keith believed in that plant-based diet and spent twenty years as a vegan. But in The Vegetarian Myth, she argues that we’ve been led astray - not by our longings for a just and sustainable world, but by our ignorance.
The truth is that agriculture is a relentless assault against the planet, and more of the same won’t save us. In service to annual grains, humans have devastated prairies and forests, driven countless species extinct, altered the climate, and destroyed the topsoil - the basis of life itself. Keith argues that if we are to save this planet, our food must be an act of profound and abiding repair: it must come from inside living communities, not be imposed across them. Part memoir, part nutritional primer, and part political manifesto, The Vegetarian Myth will challenge everything you thought you knew about food politics.

Story
Raised as a fourth-generation farmer, when Will Harris inherited White Oak Pastures he was a full-time commodity cowboy who played hard and fast with every tool the system offered–chemicals, antibiotics, steroids, and more. His ancestors had built a highly profitable, conventionally run machine, but over time he found himself disgusted with the excess, cruelty, and smalltown devastation this system entailed. So he bet the farm on forging a different way of doing things. One that works with nature not against it, and bridges the quickly widening delta between consumers and their food.

If you’re eating a healthy diet and you’re still dealing with fatigue, inflammation, anxiety, recurrent injuries, or chronic pain, the problem could be your spinach, almonds, sweet potatoes, and other trusted plant foods.

Norton, MPH, discovered that the culprits were the chemical toxins called oxalates lurking within her “healthy,” organic plant-heavy diet.

Almost every day we are bombarded with the seemingly incontrovertible message that we must reduce our consumption of meat and dairy—or eliminate them from our diets altogether. But what if the pervasive message that the plant-based diet will improve our health and save the planet is misleading—or even false? What if removing animal foods from our diet is a serious threat to human health, and a red herring in the fight against climate change.

Among Americans, diabetes is more prevalent today than ever. Obesity is at epidemic proportions; nearly 10% of children are thought to have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. And sugar is at the root of these, and other, critical, society-wide, health-related problems. With his signature command of both science and straight talk, Gary Taubes delves into Americans' history with sugar: its uses as a preservative, as an additive in cigarettes, the contemporary overuse of high-fructose corn syrup.

Dish up the red meat, eggs, and whole milk! In this well-researched and captivating narrative, veteran food writer Nina Teicholz proves how everything we've been told about fat is wrong. For decades, Americans have cut back on red meat and dairy products full of "bad" saturated fats. We obediently complied with nutritional guidelines to eat "heart healthy" fats found in olive oil, fish, and nuts, and followed a Mediterranean diet heavy on fruits, vegetables, and grains. Yet the nation's health has declined. What is going on?

But as Aaron Carroll explains, these oversimplifications are both wrong and dangerous: if we stop consuming some of our most demonized ingredients altogether, it may actually hurt us.

Story
You are just 10% human. For every one of the cells that make up the vessel that you call your body, there are nine impostor cells hitching a ride. You are not just flesh and blood, muscle and bone, brain and skin, but also bacteria and fungi. Over your lifetime, you will carry the equivalent weight of five African elephants in microbes. You are not an individual but a colony. Until recently, we had thought our microbes hardly mattered, but science is revealing a different story, one in which microbes run our bodies and becoming a healthy human is impossible without them.

The answer, he emphatically argues, is no.

The Longevity Code is his authoritative guide on why and how we age and on the four most crucial areas we have control over in order to slow down - and even reverse - the aging process. We learn why some animal species hardly age at all while others age and die very quickly and about the mechanisms at work that slowly but definitely cause our bodies to age, making us susceptible to heart attack, stroke, cancer, pneumonia, and dementia.

What if removing animal foods from our diet is a serious threat to human health, and a red herring in the fight against climate change.

Most diet books teach you to set short-term weight loss goals. Whether low-carb or low-fat, the typical plan goes like this: restrict your food choices, exercise until exhaustion, and swallow stacks of supplements. These “solutions” do a better job of lightening your wallet than lightening you. Meanwhile, the healthcare industry fails to prevent chronic disease. Rather than showing people how to remain healthy and prevent illness through proper nutrition, the system offers drugs and surgery to manage symptoms.

Great listen and informative!
I'm very happy to get an x- vegans perspective on this! So many times you hear the debates of vegans vs omnivore and it's so one sided. This is smart and informative on a level you can only get from someone who is willing to explain each side from experience. I'm sad to hear of all the damage the vegan diet has done to the author but her willing to speak, even tho she is getting threats, is courage. 🖖

Interesting, thought provoking, wrong solutions
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would recommend this book to anyone who is or is contemplating becoming vegan or vegetarian. I would also recommend this book to those who have friends or family who are vegan or vegetarian. I would recommend this book to healthcare professionals and nutritionals who work with those with eating disorders. I would not recommend this book to those who cannot filter out Ms. Keith's constant negativity, radical feminism, atheism (maybe it's paganism)
What could Lierre Keith have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Ms. Keith constantly harks back to her radical feminist (masculine hating) views. Who is she to tell me to "get a vasectomy?" Who is she to tell me there is no God, there is no creator? Does she not know that the much quoted and admired Joel Salatin is a Christian who believes in the right to life, having lots of kids and only hires the clean cut, all American kids for his apprenticeship program?
Which scene was your favorite?
The friend who invited Lierri to dinner and forgot twice ... "does eating soy really cause memory loss?"
Could you see The Vegetarian Myth being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Glenn Close ... as she appeared in "101 Dalmatians" Only replace the word "puppies" with "men"
Any additional comments?
By the end of the book I felt sorry for Ms. Keith. First because of the physical ailments 20 years of veganism gave her but also because of the obvious fractured psychological, mental and spiritual ethos. She says her physical ailments will never fully heal but she fails to recognize that her anger and hatred towards the masculine may be other side effects of the 20 years a vegan. She says it herself ... Clinical studies in rigorously controlled environments have also fount that low-fat diets increase anger, depression and anxiety. Low cholesterol levels occur more often amongst criminals, individuals diagnosed with violent and aggressive conduct disorders homicidal offenders ...(and so on)." Maybe one could add men hating feminist / environmentalist?

interesting perspective
There is a lot of depth in its very personal book; it's professional. It's factual. It's scientific; it's emotional. I got a lot of information from it.

This important book changed my life
I want to thank Lierre Keith for having the courage to write such an in-depth, well thought-through book.
The #1 reason I had been steadfastly following the Vegan diet - despite health issues that were becoming more and more pronounced - was that I thought I was doing my part to save the planet and help animals.
But when she explains the bigger picture - the far more devastating consequences of Big Agriculture to animals and their habitat - the floodgates were opened.
I reviewed in my mind my own health journey as I listened to Lierre talk about hers, and I could no longer deny that the decay in my spine was more than just a little inconvenience…and that if I didn’t change my diet that I was only going to get worse.
Lierre’s compassionate approach to understand the identity I had as a Vegan in a Vegan community also helped me have the courage to save my life and get to the business of REALLY doing something that could make a difference.
Lierre, I know you are enduring backlash from the Vegan community, but you quite possibly have saved my life - certainly the quality and happiness of the rest of my life. I hope you remember all the people you have touched and will continue to touch for a long time hence.
Thank you.
Oh, and the reason I gave the performance one less star was that the tone in the reader’s voice is a little too shame-laced. I’d prefer more of a “just-the-facts-ma’am” approach with a kinder voice. But otherwise she read excellently.
Finally, this book goes into depth and on many many facets of life that are affected by our diet. It’s quite epic.
Thank you.

Eye opening.
Would you consider the audio edition of The Vegetarian Myth to be better than the print version?
I havent read the print version so cant compare.
What did you like best about this story?
I liked the amount of factual information and statistics that made the arguments strong.
Which scene was your favorite?
The beginning was good when she talks about the vegan who suggests a fence through the serengeti separating the herbivores from the carnivores.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Agriculture: A matter of life and death.
Any additional comments?
The author should write another book. "The Feminist Myth" The only thing I did not like about this book was her down-putting of masculinity as a whole. I completely agree in human rights and that the world is not where it should be as far as equality between the sexes, but I am a man. That is a cultural problem, not testosterone.
