Review: I was really enjoying this book and did not take too much notice of the many references to meat, as this is written from a cat's point of view. I was even thinking of buying a few books as gifts, but then I got tp chapter 9 where the Dalai Lama's advise to a young girl is to eat meat because she is lacking in iron. This jarred with me. When T was a young girl I had to stop eating all animal products - dairy, eggs and especially meat because I found it hard to digest. I was frequently sick and looked malnourished. It was only through my own research in libraries in those days and later in health food shops that found alternative food. There are many vegetarian sources of iron including leafy greens, beans, soya, dried fruit, potatoe skins, mushroom, seaweed and seeds. There are much more. There are also many foods fortified with B12 such as nut milk and cereals. I don't think doctors have a lot of training in nutrition, but I would have thought that Buddhists would have taken some time to study this. Maybe they are too lazy as one of the monks described being shy. As for farming methods, yes they do have to done differenlty, but what is worse cow farms, chicken farms or corn farms?
