Why You Don’t Need Meat

The UK #1 Bestseller That Launched The Vegetarian Revolution

Why You Don’t Need Meat was first published in the United Kingdom, where it quickly became a runaway Number 1 bestseller. Written with a charming mixture of science, humor, and ethics, this completely revised and updated edition will give you all the facts you need about the meat you eat—both from a humane perspective and as a basis for getting and maintaining a healthy body.

“ Be warned that if you read this book, you might just go Vegan! Peter is funny and entertaining but he thoroughly covers every aspect of the subject . He also helps support you in how to tell others your new life decision. I highly recommend this book. ”
