Plant Paradigm - How a Meat-Eating Fourth-Generation Farmer was Tipped into the Joys of Being a Vegan
James Wilson was a farmer for 40 years before he became a vegan, a change that he believes saved his life. He'd spent a lifetime farming, growing, harvesting and eating meat and milk products, but eight years ago a health scare persuaded him to make the dramatic decision to change his lifestyle. James and his wife Barbie immediately adopted a whole-food plant-based (WFPB) diet and lifestyle - a vegan approach. And they've never looked back. Veganism, he insists, ensures a longer and healthier life. It also severely reduces our individual environmental footprint and avoids the often-appalling cruelty that livestock farming causes to animals. Of course, there is a fourth reason says James Wilson, not quite so scientifically upheld, but one that works for me. And that is simply that there is joy in being vegan . Plant Paradigm forcibly puts the case for veganism, including some practical suggestions for how to cook vegan at home.
