Think a Plant-Based Diet 

Can't Save Your Life?

THINK AGAIN!

 

In 2005, firefighter Rip Esselstyn convinced his entire firehouse to eat a plant-based diet, and his New York Times bestseller, THE ENGINE 2 DIETinspired hundreds of thousands of people across America to do the same.  Why? Because a plant-based diet is the healthiest way to eat!  Now, in his new book, Rip arms readers with the 36 most powerful facts that prove, once and for all, that a plant-based diet can save your life.  Do you want to:

  • Prevent Cancer, heart attacks, stroke and Type 2 Diabetes? Eat Plants!
  • Have stronger bones than milk could ever give you? Eat plants!
  • Enjoy a super-charged sex life? Eat plants!
  • Avoid dangerous carcinogens and contaminants? Eat plants!
  • Lose weight and look great? Eat plants!

 

In MY BEEF WITH MEAT, not only does Rip arm you with every fact you need to win any argument you could ever have with a meat eater, he also presents over 140 delicious new Engine 2 recipes to feed your newly plant-eating friends.  

From pizzas to burgers, from casseroles to cakes, from soups to nuts, you'll find everything you'll need to become a healthy-cooking virtuoso.
