Reviews
Detailed yet concise, this guide to vegetarianism encompasses a broad range of possible choices for teens interested in adopting plant-based diets.... An upbeat, informative resource that will come in handy for many a teen -
As a part-time vegetarian-I'd be full-time if the whole family just would get on board and pepperoni would stop existing-I find Rachel's advice super helpful. - <strong><em> Parents.com, Mom Must Read</em> </strong>
