The China Study
The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health
(National Best-Seller)
This is the earth-shattering book by Columbia University researcher Colin Campbell. If you eat meat or dairy after reading this, you're in the same category as people who ride fast on motorcycles without wearing a helmet. On ice. Drunk. While doing Sudoku. Seriously, if you want to know the meticulously scientific, scary truth about meat's causal linkage to cancer, heart disease, and numerous other killers, this is the most important book to read on this list. The chapters on how doctors, hospitals, FDA and the meat/dairy industries have responded to this will get your blood boiling.

Skinny Bitch
If you need a swift kick in the butt to motivate you to embrace the vegan diet, then this book is for you. It has moxie written all over it. Skinny Bitch is a no-nonsense, super funny, give-it-to-you-straight, can't-put-it-down, sassy book. It's one of my favorite gifts to give out during the holidays. They've also written a book for dudes, but I haven't read it yet.

Must-Watch DVDs

Food, Inc. (DVD)
This is an amazing, eye-opening, jaw-dropping documentary that should be in every home library. I was fortunate enough to see this opening weekend when we were in NY and heard the director speak after the viewing. Throughout the documentary, I was moved to tears a couple of times. I was riled up. My blood boiled in parts. I was humbled. I was motivated. And, I was inspired. Food, Inc. is a MUST-SEE. I have heard a couple people say, "Oh, this is stuff I already know and has already been shown." It does not matter. Food, Inc. is to be praised. We will effect change only by getting the message put out there multiple times, until more and more people learn about these problems with the food industry. Multiple impressions and repetition work. Even if you think you have heard this stuff before, I am sure you will learn some new things. You will be motivated all over again.

Food Matters (DVD)
Inspiring, motivating... I felt high after watching this documentary, even though it was the fifth time I have seen it. When the publishers of Food Matters sent me a copy for review, I was elated because it had been on my to-do list for a long time. And, man, am I glad I saw it! I showed it to both my mom and husband and we all wholeheartedly agreed that this is a documentary we want to see a few times a year. It is that good! Every time I see it, I hear something new. And for the stuff I have already heard, it just further ingrains it in my subconsciousness and I feel myself internalizing its details more and more. I walk away feeling strong, smart, and empowered about my lifestyle decisions, albeit a bit frustrated at times because not enough people know this information. If you haven't seen Food Matters yet, get to it! Once it is in your hot little hands, watch it multiple times! Then, be sure to share it with your family and friends. I pretty much hang on every line of Food Matters.
