I had wanted to go vegitarian for a long time, finally I told a woman if she would start dating me, I would go vegitarian.  It worked, well for a couple months, but I continued for 7 years after.

 

My 90+ grandmother asked me to pick here up some KFC and I slipped 10 years ago :-( - waiting to get back in the groove.

I went vegetarian (ovo-lacto) 3 years ago.  After making the decision, I read 'The Perfectly-Contented Meat-Eaters guide to Vegetarianism' and found it a very humourous and educational book. 

It wasn't until I read Dr. McDougall's Maximum Weight Loss Program six months ago that I became strict vegetarian/vegan. 

These two books were monumental for me in laying out the health impacts of animal products on the body.  Now, after being vegan for 6 months, I continue to find other books that support my chosen way of life.

Thanks for a great post!

Alicia Silverstone's The Kind Diet helped me go veg. Although I wouldn't say her book was the sole reason. It was one of those situations where I was looking for a vegetarian resource and Silverstone's book coincidentally came out the exact day I made up my mind to cut out meat. I would recommend her book to anyone. It is so intelligent and informative, in fact I wrote a review of it on my blog http://mytexture.wordpress.com/textured-texts/ 

Has anyone else read her book?
