The Food Revolution

Son of the Baskin-Robbins founder, John Robbins turned his back on the family business, built a cabin on a remote island near Vancouver, started researching nutrition and natural foods. Chalk another book up into the "meat kills people and the environment" column. The American diet's focus on hamburgers and fries is the opposite of what our bodies need, creating chronic diseases like heart attacks, diabetes, etc.

I feel like I've already read about fifty other books just like this. If you're not already aware that raising meat for food is bad for the environment, and that meat as food is bad for your body, you might enjoy this book. If you already know that eating plants is good for you and the Earth, you can happily skip this one.
