Rating: 3 out of 5

This is one of the TED kindle singles and is a background to Graham Hill’s TED talk. I don’t think you necessarily need to have watched the TED talk to get the most out of it. It’s a well put together collection of facts and thoughts about human health and planet health and the impact of meat consumption. Quite a lot of the book is recipes for your first month of being a weekday vegetarian which I found quite unnecessary and I had hoped for some more pages of facts or insight instead. Also a very minor point but at the references section in the back there are lists of books. As this is released as a Kindle single it would have made sense, to me at least, for these to be linked to a kindle version (where it exists) saving me having to search for them. In summary: a useful addition to the TED talk but seems a bit overpriced unless you make use of the recipes
