I decided to be plant-based/vegan, in diet and lifestyle 17 years ago.
I did this in Calgary, Canada . . . cattle country!

Because I decided for ethical reasons, I had no idea about nutrition, having been brought up on a very standard diet of meat and potatoes, day in and day out.
But, because I knew I had to be plant-based, for my own peace and happiness, I needed to learn and do admit that I was scared of the unknown.

I came across Dr. Klaper's book soon after, and it was the first and best resource that I could have ever found, and the same is true today.
Delivered in a very matter-of-fact manner and full of simple and tested information, this small book covers the fundamentals of human health and will give you all you need to know to be a healthy vegan.
