Meat Is for Pussies

This book tells about the harm that animal products cause to people, animals, and the planet, and how much benefit a transition to vegan organic nutrition, a healthy lifestyle, and regular exercise promises us all.

If the title doesn’t shock you, then the facts presented by John Joseph certainly will! It was he and other guys from the New York punk/hardcore scene who introduced me to vegetarianism. John destroys the stereotype of the “weakling vegetarian” and shows that anyone can lead a lifestyle free of cruelty. Becoming vegan is one of the best things we can do for our health, the planet, and animals. I went to culinary school and became a chef to show people that meatless dishes can be just as delicious as the ones Mom cooked in childhood. Thank you, John, for knowing how to get through to people and for telling them about a healthy, vegetarian way of life!"

"By smashing everyday stereotypes and prejudices about how vegetarians live, John Joseph tells his story with real New York intensity and without any embellishment. He mentions everyone in the book — from lobbyists of transnational corporations to fools who advise drinking whey protein. Why should you read this book? Because you crave self-education, want to be healthy, and want to stop cooperating with the most sinister industries on Earth. Or maybe because you’re just a huge wimp. After reading it, you’ll understand that being healthy is not a prerequisite for passivity, and that there’s one more vegan in this world who can easily kick your ass".
