Problems with Meat / Scharffenberg, John A, MD / (PB/1979-1979/B/USED)

*Condition Note: Book is well used with moderate cover wear/damage and is clean.*

Startling evidence that...

Meat is our third largest cause of mortality

Meat is grossly wasteful of natural resources

Meat makes nutrition difficult and complex; a nonmeat diet is easy and simple

A nonmeat diet results in greater health and vigor than a meat diet

'Complete protein' in any one meal is not necessary

The nonmeat diet reduces the risk of getting the 'killer' diseases

It is virtually impossible in modern societies to be protein-deficient if you maintain normal weight

Based on a presentation at an annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Washington, D.C.
