Editorial Review Product Description Indeed, Judaism's particular concern for tikkun olam, a healing of the world, has never been more urgent today—given the current state of world hunger, environmental degradation, and the horror of factory farms. Dr. Schwartz shows not only how Judaism is particularly well suited to solving these problems, but how doing so can revitalize one's Jewish faith. Customer Reviews (12)
A Judeo-Catholic Indebted To Richard Schwartz
A convincing look at the Bible's look on vegetarianism Richard H. Schwartz's Judaism and Vegetarianism is a useful reference for refuting claims that humans and animals do not deserve equal consideration.It effectively explains and elaborates upon the Bible's stance on vegetarianism and explores other moral and societal issues with which non-religious people can identify; Schwartz even includes a section on how vegetarianism can promote awareness and ultimately resolve these issues.The book also contains answers to common questions, nutritional suggestions, discussions of Jewish vegetarian groups and their activities, biographies of famous Jewish vegetarians, an annotated bibliography, ideas for promoting vegetarianism, and a detailed index.In sum, Schwartz has produced a well-documented, well-reasoned, and very convincing work which ends with a query to Jews who plan to continue eating meat: "In view of strong Jewish mandates to be compassionate to animals, preserve our health, help feed the hungry, preserve and protect the environment, conserve resources, and seek and pursue peace, and the very negative effects animal-centered diets have in each of these areas, will you now become a vegetarian, or at least sharply reduce your consumption of animal products?".

list price: US$23.95 -- used & new: US$20.87 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 156639936X Average Customer Review: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description Vegetarianism: Movement or Moment? is the first book to consider the movement on a broad scale from a social science perspective. While this book takes into account the unique history of North American vegetarianism and the various reasons why people adopt vegetarian diets, it focuses on how movement leaders' beliefs regarding the dynamics of social change contributes to the selection of particular strategies for attracting people to vegetarianism. In the context of this focus, this book highlights several controversies about vegetarianism that have emerged in nutrition and popular media over the past 30 years. Customer Reviews (2)

Overcoming a long tradition by uncovering another tradition
A brief review
A Feast for the Reader!
I agree, humans should have priority I thought the book sometime spent too much time on some subjects, and too little on others.But still, overall, a good book. Lots of people have tried to make an issue about Hitler's claimed vegetarianism.Of course whether he was or wasn't has no bearing on his actions.But since so many people make an issue of it, Spencer had to cover Hitler.What Spencer says about Hitler isn't the same as what I had heard from other sources.Most other sources I thought said Hitler enjoyed meat, but gave up most meat due to digestion problems.Spencer says that Hitler was vegetarian just to be different then everybody else.Which is true, I don't know, but I would assume that Spencer knows what he is talking about.
An excellent starting point My only quibble is that Spencer could've covered the last 100 years in more depth.The last 50 pages is surprisingly lacking in the same kind of detail that Spencer devoted to, (for instance) the Early Christian era.Maybe the last 100 years has been covered better in other books?I don't know, since this is the first book of its type that I've read. OK, actually I have one other quibble.....In the last 20 pages, Spencer goes off on a rant about corporate farming, the effects of livestock farming on the environment, the dangers of eating meat (salmonella, heart disease, cancer). I thought this was a "history" of vegetarianism??? I mean, I agree with all the things he says about the above topics.I'm an ardent vegetarian myself, but I wish he had devoted more space to the last 100 years of vegetarianism, instead of the polemic. Another thing to consider is tha Spencer goes go more in detail about vegetarianism in Europe and the UK.If you want a lengthier discussion on vegetarianism in the U.S try somewhere else.This is still an excellent book for a history of vegetarianism.I hope that other authors will take up this topic. ...

For Current and Future Vegetarians
Valuable knowledge
Transition to Vegetarianism
The pros and cons of a vegetarian diet
Excellent info on vegetarian and part-vegetarian diets When newly minted militant vegetarian friends reject the idea of starting out by simply eating less meat, this book is the place to turn for support. After twenty years of shepherding people toward a more vegetarian diet, I've seen definite trends that emerge when giving up meat: persistent cheese-eating, a plethora of omelet dishes,a sudden craving for peanut butter, etc. This guide gives sound practical explanations about why these cravings happen; it also gives suggestions for maintaining nutrition without going overboard on fat. Vegans will be unhappy with the assertion that a plant-based diet with some milk products is a typical solution for Americans, but realistically, how many of us are willing to do what it takes to maintain a strictly vegan diet the rest of our lives? And as additional research emerges on fatty acids (such as Omega-3 and Omega-6 oils) there seems to be an increasing number of reasons to consider fish as a practical substitute for supplements like hempseed or flaxseed oil. Over the years, I've heard countless people wake up to nutrition and tell me they've discovered the "only healthy diet there is." Every one of those diets has been different! Rather than rushing out to try someone else's diet, I'd recommend looking at Dr. Ballentine's set of guidelines first. This is one of the only books on vegetarianism I know that doesn't tell you "here's the best diet." Instead, the author presents the pros and cons of various food options, and gives you a reasonable way to work towards a diet which suits both your body and your life situation. ... Read more |

Glad the author took the time to write this....
I agree with premise, but some faulty research Basically, I agree with the premise, that modern treatment of animals cannot be justified by any system of morality. Unfortunatly, some of the author's research was faulty.He relies too much on extra-biblical works of very questionable validity.For Christianity, the author spends an inordinate amount of time discussing "The Gospel of the Holy Twelve" which has about zero evidence for its being genuine.To someone who is not already convinced to be in favor of vegetarianism would suspect that if the author needs to spend so much time on disreputable sources then he can't have a very good case. Likewise, for Buddhism, much of the pro-vegetarian sutra is not considered to be genuine. A better tact for the author to have taken might have been to address more how modern inventions such as the factory farm are far different than historical animal husbandry. For Christians, I'd recommend _Is God a Vegetarian?_ The author of that book concludes that Jesus was NOT vegetarian, but Jesus didn't live today either. For Jews, I'd recommend, _Judaism and Vegetarianism_.Both of these are available here at amazon.com. Don't get me wrong, there is some good stuff here. But it seems that in an effort to prove his point, the author did not always use due-diligence to verify all the information, and as such weakens his case substantially.
Splendid! I could probably write an A4 page about it but I'll leave it for you to find out for yourself. Go get it, now! ... Read more |
