Vegetarian Judaism

The growing interest in human health, animal rights, and protection of the environment are all matters of fundamental concern for Judaism, and vegetarianism is entirely in keeping with the values and responsibilities of the Jewish tradition. Based on the teachings and principles of Kashrut, this book shows conclusively that if society at large maintained a vegetarian diet, there would be more resources to deal with the hunger and illness that still prevail in much of the world. Clearly presents the philosophical basis for a vegetarian diet.
