素食近年來一直是關心健康人士的潮流飲食方式，但素食到底有何好處、怎樣才能吃得健康又能滿足人體營養需求，可謂說法不一、眾口紛紜。本書作者依據自己18年來的食素（食生）經驗，並結合醫生這一專業背景，將自己多年來對健康素食的心得和知識分享出來，讓更多人認識健康素食（食生）的好處和意義，理清對素食的認識誤區。書中還附有作者本人的個人飲食食譜分享，現身說法，更具直觀性。
我們每天的生活，不論衣食住行，都要面對大量的選擇。在選擇的背後，我們會關心它如何影響自身的生活質素，卻又有沒有考慮到它對別人、動物、大自然、乃至整個地球的影響？
我們有著太多太多的藉口，逃避負起作為地球一份子的責任，卻看重便利的生活、美味的食物、漂亮的包裝、美觀的衣飾裝扮… 超乎想像地向地球苛索過多的資源。
我們不任信我們的食物、不信任我們的環境、不相信我們的能力… 卻相信我們的無能，認定我們無法去改變世界。
面對每一次選擇，希望您除了看到該付出的價錢，也看到地球為它曾付出的價值。
有一日，一位新鄰居去了小星人的村落。過了一陣子，新鄰居都沒有出來見大家。原來他吃了很多很多肉類，令自己不舒服。最後小星人煮了一餐健康素食給他，就好起來了。故事希望帶出素食和均衡飲食的好處。
這本書主要討論食物哲學。食物相信不用多解釋，但哲學又是什麼呢？對很多人來說，哲學是指一些為人處世的原則，例如「世事無絕對」、「人不為己，天誅地滅」，也有人把哲學等同於一些獨特的個人見解。坊間有些書籍，比如是關於「愛情哲學」或「理財哲學」的書，大多屬於這一類。不過，本書所探討的食物哲學，並非介紹飲食心得，或傳授烹調秘技。我們討論的是有關日常飲食生活的哲學問題。
「哲學」在這裏作為一門學科，如同物理學和社會學一樣，有其獨特的方法和內容。主要是以批判思考去深入處理一些根本的問題，尤其是一些不能透過科學方法來解決的問題。至於批判思考，則是運用邏輯和語理分析，幫助我們清晰而理性地思考。
本書提倡「哲食」，意思是指經過哲學反省的飲食行為和生活態度。不過，日常飲食主要是為了生存和享受，怎會與抽象的哲學扯上關係？進食並非純粹是消化食物和吸收營養的一個生理過程。我們吃什麼，怎樣吃，和誰一起吃，花多少時間和金錢來吃，反映了我們的思維、人生態度和價值觀。哲食，可以幫助我們認識自己。

我們應該怎樣看待動物？──簡單以喜歡或不喜歡說明，抑或有其他方法？
無論喜歡、不喜歡，抑或害怕動物，不容置疑的是，人類與動物同為這個地球（或者城市）的使用者。然而，一直以來，我們有意無意把自己與動物分開，僅看寵物為城市的一員，而其他的看他們為城市的入侵者，所以遇見野豬要報警，在西貢看見了牛會驚叫。
我們忘記了怎樣與動物共處，更以一個奇怪的目光看待動物。是以，我們最常「看見」的動物，來自報章上一幀幀血肉模糊的照片──有人虐殺貓狗、有車飛撞野生牛、僅有的中華白海豚受傷⋯⋯
其實不止於此。若然細心，我們身邊常常有動物的蹤影──家裡的寵物（主要貓狗）、城市動物（西貢牛）、野外／野生動物（熊貓），甚至每日餐桌上吃的。也就是，討論動物，其實不限於喜歡不喜歡，牽涉的還有很多日常。
從文化研究的角度切入，率先談「論述」，有了論述才會知道之後所討論的是什麼。除了討論切身的動物議題，身兼影評人的作者，更藉著影像、報導等媒介，了解動物如何透過媒體再現。
In this thought-provoking book, Tobias Leenaert leaves well-trodden animal advocacy paths and takes a fresh look at the strategies, objectives, and communication of the vegan and animal rights movement. He argues that, given our present situation, with entire societies dependent on using animals, we need a very pragmatic approach. How to Create a Vegan World contains many valuable ideas and insights for both budding advocates for animals and seasoned activists, organizational leaders, and even entrepreneurs.
This book offers an absorbing look at what social psychologist Melanie Joy calls carnism, the belief system that conditions us to eat certain animals when we would never dream of eating others. Carnism causes extensive animal suffering and global injustice, and it drives us to act against our own interests and the interests of others without fully realizing what we are doing. Becoming aware of what carnism is and how it functions is vital to personal empowerment and social transformation, as it enables us to make our food choices more freely--because without awareness, there is no free choice.
More than twenty years after its original publication, The Case for Animal Rights is an acknowledged classic of moral philosophy, and its author is recognized as the intellectual leader of the animal rights movement. In a new and fully considered preface, Regan responds to his critics and defends the book's revolutionary position.
Few books maintain their relevance – and have remained continuously in print – nearly 50 years after they were first published. Animal Liberation, one of TIME’s “All-TIME 100 Best Non-Fiction Books” is one such book. Since its original publication in 1975, this groundbreaking work has awakened millions of people to the existence of "speciesism"—our systematic disregard of nonhuman animals—inspiring a worldwide movement to transform our attitudes to animals and eliminate the cruelty we inflict on them. In Animal Liberation Now, Singer exposes the chilling realities of today's "factory farms" and product-testing procedures, destroying the spurious justifications behind them and showing us just how woefully we have been misled.
Now, for the first time since its original publication, Singer returns to the major arguments and examples and brings us to the current moment. This edition, revised from top to bottom, covers important reforms in the European Union, and now in various U.S. states, but on the flip side, Singer shows us the impact of the huge expansion of factory farming due to the exploding demand for animal products in China. Further, meat consumption is taking a toll on the environment, and factory farms pose a profound risk for spreading new viruses even worse than COVID-19.
Animal Liberation Now includes alternatives to what has become a profound environmental and social as well as moral issue. An important and persuasive appeal to conscience, fairness, decency, and justice, it is essential reading for the supporter and the skeptic alike.
