While following a plant-based diet can provide many health and
environmental benefits, vegetarians and vegans are at greater risk
for certain nutritional deficiencies. They may also face challenges
when grocery shopping, dining out, and interacting with friends and
family. More and more Americans are reducing or completely
eliminating meat and other animal products from their diet. Some
are motivated by concerns surrounding animal welfare and the
environmental impact of meat, while others hope to improve their
health by following a plant-based diet. Although a vegetarian or
vegan diet can provide many benefits, it can also pose unique
challenges and health risks. Part of Greenwood's Q&A Health
Guides series, Vegetarian and Vegan Diets: Your Questions Answered
follows a reader-friendly question-and-answer format that
anticipates readers' needs and concerns. Prevalent myths and
misconceptions are identified and dispelled, and a collection of
case studies illustrates key concepts and issues through relatable
stories and insightful recommendations. Each book in the series
also includes a section on health literacy, equipping teens and
young adults with practical tools and strategies for finding,
evaluating, and using credible sources of health information both
on and off the internet—important skills that contribute to a
lifetime of healthy decision-making.
