About this listen
Brian Kateman coined the term "Reducetarian" - a person who is deliberately reducing his or her consumption of meat - and a global movement was born. In this book, Kateman, the founder of the Reducetarian Foundation, presents more than 70 original essays from influential thinkers on how the simple act of cutting 10 percent or more of the meat from one's diet can transform the life of the listener, animals, and the planet.
This book features contributions from such luminaries as Seth Godin, Joel Fuhrman, Victoria Moran, Jeffrey Sachs, Bill McKibben, Naomi Oreskes, Peter Singer, and others. With over 40 vegan, vegetarian, and "less meat" recipes from best-selling cookbook author Pat Crocker, as well as tons of practical tips for reducing the meat in your diet (for example, skip eating meat with dinner if you ate it with lunch; replace your favorite egg omelet with a tofu scramble; choose a veggie burrito instead of a beef burrito; declare a meatless day of the week), The Reducetarian Solution is a life - not to mention planet! - saving book.

Story
If a piece of individually wrapped cheese retains its shape, color, and texture for years, what does it say about the food we eat and feed our children? Former New York Times reporter and mother Melanie Warner decided to explore that question when she observed the phenomenon of the indestructible cheese. She began an investigative journey that takes her to research labs, food science departments, and factories around the country. What she discovered provides a rare, eye-opening - and sometimes disturbing - account of what we're really eating.

In We Are the Weather, Jonathan Safran Foer explores the central global dilemma of our time in a surprising, deeply personal, and urgent new way. Some people reject the fact, overwhelmingly supported by scientists, that our planet is warming because of human activity. But do those of us who accept the reality of human-caused climate change truly believe it? If we did, surely we would be roused to act on what we know.

Many people from all walks of life can agree that the planet is not in the best shape and could all agree that there are steps that we can take to make it better. There are always arguments about how to go about this - but for most people, this means becoming a vegetarian because of the ways that vegetarians save resources and help animals or cut down on the gas emissions that we all suffer from. If they want to go the extra mile or get additional health benefits, they go a step further and go to a ketogenic diet as well. By combining these diets, you see all new benefits.

The benefits of restrictive diets like paleo and keto have been touted for more than a decade, but as renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, or "Dr. B", illuminates in this groundbreaking audiobook, the explosion of studies on the microbiome makes it abundantly clear that elimination diets are in fact hazardous to our health. What studies clearly now show - and what Dr. B preaches with his patients - is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism, balancing our hormones, and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases.

The Mediterranean diet has evolved naturally and is the product of intercultural interaction and development for many decades. In the strictest sense, it's not a diet but rather a normal culinary practice. Evidence has shown that the conventional Mediterranean diet reduces the risk of heart disease. It is also related to a decreased incidence of cancer, and disorders like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. People consuming a Mediterranean diet can have a reduced risk of breast cancer.

Finally a diet/lifestyle unifier !
This book makes anyone at any stage of the diet spectrum (hardcore omnivore to a raw vegan) think about their choices at a pace that is easy and byte size digestible. It gives no "To Dos" and does not come across as preachy - instead it presents the facts with context to a typical omnivore in most situations and presents the options for alternate scenarios for the reader/listener to ponder on. It's a great connector for all the divided factions on the diet spectrum and has one unifying theme - that no matter where you - you are a reducetarian when the seed of thought to reduce has germinated in you. It's a 5 star, thought provoking and well informed book.

50 is a lot of essays
The intro sums up very well the argument that reducing meat intake is good for health, the planet, and reducing animal cruelty. There are many many essays (50 is a lot!) hammering in these points. It might be a little much. Frankly, if you just read the intro, you get a good 50% of the content. Overall I did like the book.
