Thank you for your feedback, from the author....

To respond to reviewers comments:
Tofu - I checked a variety of protein values for tofu, and while not consistent, all are lower than those listed in my book. This and all other factual information will be checked and corrected in the next edition. (This is Important!!!!)
Iron anemia - I think it is interesting that a slight anemia is a NORMAL result of pregnancy. Obviously it is not the ideal!
Too many stories - these comments sure date my pregnancy - to a time when vegetarian diets were spurned by most people, especially for pregnant women. Fortunately, times have changed, and even books like mine have contributed to a cultural change of heart on this. I am VERY glad to know that reassurance is no longer a problem worth so much space in a book.
Recipes - I am not a recipe person, and did not make the leap into providing recipes for others. However, this is clearly a weakness in the book. The next edition will include them, most definitely!
Finally - This book holds the kind of information I wish I'd had when I was pregnant. It is exciting that things have changed so much since then. Thank you all for your feedback. May all your pregnancies be happy and healthy. Sharon

DANGEROUSLY INACCURATE

I agree that this book is poorly organized -- but on top of that, the information in it isn't even true! For example, she claims that tofu has 20 grams of protein for four ounces-- not on this planet. In reality it's about half of that, about 9-13 grams. Same deal with beans-- she says 22 grams of protein in 1/2 cup of black beans--truth is more like about 7g! She also says that "iron anemia during pregnancy is normal." Yikes!! It's terirbly dangerous and can make you hemorrage during birth! Chuck this book!

Useless Book - reads like it was thrown together in a week

Useless anecdotal information from the author and a ridiculous number of stories from other vegetarian mothers. We get it already - it's OK to be a pregnant vegetarian!! The first two sections are nearly totally the above and the rest is simplistic nutritional information which can be had anywhere. If you want eating plans and recipes don't buy this book. I agree with the other reviewer that What To Eat When Your Expecting is a gem next to this one. Don't waste your money!
