Los autores revisan también en esta obra aspectos históricos de la alimentación y de la hominización, desmintiendo que la alimentación basada en vegetales sea una moda reciente, así como las cuestiones ambientales, éticas e incluso económicas que avalan también optar por esta pauta dietética."
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION:
The choice of diets that completely, or partially, exclude animal products is sometimes considered by many a mere ideological choice, lacking a scientific foundation and even harmful to their health. Among these diets known as "plant-based", the most popular are vegetarianism and veganism. In this book, Julio Basulto and Juanjo Cáceres show why, according to scientific data, diets associated with a better quality of life and also a longer life expectancy can be summarized this way: "More vegetables, less animals, and almost no processed meats or excessive foods".
The authors also review the history of food and human evolution, denying that plant-based diets are a recent trend, as well as environmental aspects, ethical and even economic issues that also choose to endorse this dietary pattern. "
