Reviews for The Vegetarian Imperative
"A timely and crucial discussion of the human food supply. People interested in the environment know that a vegetarian diet requires about one-third less fossil energy and cropland to produce food needs, as compared to the average American diet. The vegetarian diet is environmentally sound - and is an imperative." (David Pimentel, Cornell University)"
