After spending the first half of his life as an adamant omnivore, Lindstrom went 100% vegan. Reluctantly. Overnight. From burgers to beets, from pork to parsnips. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt's time for a down-to-earth book that proves anyone can go vegan (even someone who once ate sixty-eight chicken wings in a sitting). How can a man adopt a vegan approach? Won't he die of protein deficiency? What if he is married to a vegan woman? How would he order a salad at a Minnesota steakhouse? What should he bring to a gluten-free, nut-free, macrobiotic, nightshade-free, oil-free, vegan potluck (true story)? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart confession and part survival guide, \u003ci\u003eThe Skeptical Vegan\u003c\/i\u003e explains how simple it really is to be vegan, covering topics from food and nutrition to social challenges and lifestyle. Snarky, witty, and opinionated to a fault, Lindstrom speaks as a male vegan, contesting the notion that \"real men\" should only eat meat. With twenty original \"veganized\" recipes including portobello steaks, carrot hot dogs, tofu wings, \"meaty\" chili, and cauliflower bites (which helped him shed thirty pounds), Lindstrom demonstrates how to take control of your diet while still eating \"meatily\" and taking into account the ethical considerations of living a better life for the animals, the environment, and yourself.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEric C.
