Books

If you are a new vegan, considering a vegan diet/lifestyle or even a long-time vegan I highly recommend my absolute favorite book on veganism:  Vegan for Life:  Everything you need to know to be healthy and fit on a plant-based diet  by Jack Norris, RD and Ginny Messina, MPH, RD.  It has answered my nutrition questions and provides me great guidance on living a balanced, healthy, vegan lifestyle.
