The World Peace Diet, Eating for Spiritual Health and Social Harmony
by Dr. Will Tuttle, Ph. D.
This book is, without exaggeration, the most thoughtful piece of writing that I have ever come across. It's convincing in so many ways. Dr. Tuttle patiently explains the connection between the way we treat animals and the way we treat each other, ourselves, and the environment. It answers every question about the vegan lifestyle in pure journalistic style, complete with notes and references. It is realistic in detail, but instead of leaving you feeling defeated by the enormous task at hand, it opens up a world positive outcome.

This DVD is sneaky. Without ever mentioning the "V" word, it presents a complete argument for a plant-based diet. Aimed at meat eaters, the information revolves around the threat to health from animal foods, and the reversal of ailments with plant foods. Featuring interviews with doctors, athletes and people who have reversed life-threatening conditions using a plant-based diet. One simply cannot watch this film without coming away with a new attitude.
