Delia Smith's "The Great Plant-Based Con" is a groundbreaking book that challenges the widely held belief that a plant-based diet is the best for health and the planet. In a review published in The Sunday Times, the book is described as "persuasive, entertaining, and well-researched." The author, Jayne Buxton, argues that the pervasive message that the plant-based diet will improve our health and save the planet is misleading and even false. She uncovers how the separate efforts of a constellation of individuals, companies, and organizations are leading us down a dietary road that will have severe repercussions for our health and wellbeing, as well as for the future of the planet. The Great Plant-Based Con is not anti-plant nor anti-vegan; rather, it is a call for us to take an honest look at the facts about human diets and their effect on the environment. The book outlines everything you need to know to make more informed decisions about the food you choose to eat, and it is shocking and eye-opening.
