Plant Roots: 101 Reasons Why the Human Diet Is Rooted Exclusively in Plants
By Rex Bowlby

Are we herbivores designed to acquire our foods exclusively from the plant kingdom? Plant Roots compiles the evidence in an original presentation to answer the question.

From the contrasting properties of plant and animal foods, to their contrasting effects on our health and the environment. From concrete science and studies, to the logical interpretation of nature and religion. From human evolution and anatomy, to the diets of other countries and cultures. From how economic interests have influenced our food choices, to how human empowerment can eclipse them. When the information is assembled, the pieces fit like a jigsaw puzzle and the picture is unmistakable.

What diet we choose might be our most critical life choice. We can’t afford to be wrong. We can’t afford not to read Plant Roots.
