EDUCATION FOR VEGANS
Veganism was defined & the first Vegan Society formed in 1944 in England.
http://www.americanvegan.org/history.htm
is a (744 word, or ~2 pgs.) history of Veganism in America and UK, as told
through the eyes of the American Vegan Society.
Why Vegan (www.veganoutreach.com)
Also see www.amazon.com, and search for books, and
query for “vegan” or “vegan recipe” etc. They have listings for a lot of books,
new and used, and even older ones that may be out of print, relating to vegan
food and issues.

organized into 14 or so categories at

Basic Course in Vegetarian and
Vegan Nutrition,
by George
L. Eisman, is a program, reviewed here:
I
think this book should be essential reading for all dieticians and health
professionals. The format of the book is simple (just word processed with
clipart), but the research behind the book is extensive, current, and the
information is clearly presented. Last night I was reading this book along with
a 750-page college textbook on nutrition. I found "A Basic Course" to
contain fewer words, while still being more informative. Quizzes at the end of
each chapter help to reinforce the information. I intend to complete the book,
take the proctored tests, and get the certificate.
I'm not vegetarian,
by the way, but I'm VERY compelled by the research: enough to want to eat much
more healthfully.

I took the Vegedine
course, which uses this material, a few years ago. Although I was initially
skeptical about whether I would learn anything new, I was pleased to find that
Eisman covers many topics to a far greater depth than I have seen in other
vegetarian books.
The Basic Course in
Vegetarian and Vegan Nutrition will answer virtually any question you can think
of on the subject. Not only is the course comprehensive, but Eisman has
explained things in a readable and easy-to-understand way. Topics covered
include carbs, fibre, fat, protein, vitamins, minerals, digestion and
absorption, vegetarian foods, diet-related chronic disease, and vegetarianism
throughout the life cycle. After completing the course, you will be able to
respond to questions not only from family and friends,but even from (less
informed) health professionals (informed health professionals will not question
a balanced vegan diet).
As a registered
dietician and practicing vegan, Eisman is eminently qualified to write this
authoritative work, in an intelligent way without any of the flaky or
sensationalistic overtones found in some other books. Definitely a worthwhile
investment of your time and money!

FREE VEGAN EDUCATION
How to live, in order to
bring forth the best possible future for the entire planet, and have this
planet be an optimal example of life.
The following is information
designed to fully educate vegans of all ages, with unbiased, but balanced
information about every topic known. This information is free to read, or
print, but must not be sold, because it is what people need to know to live.
Therefore, I would like to
establish a WVO library of the best materials available, for borrowing, for
those who can’t afford to pay to learn how to be healthy, sustainable, aware,
responsible, and empowered. What does it take to start this sort of library,
without infringing on other people’s copyrights?
