W
RITING THIS BOOK WAS PURE EXCITEMENT
;
EVERY DAY
I
WAS
charged with adrenaline at the evidence, stories, and information that poured in to support the thesis that making a change in diet is a game changer. It was a symphony of contributions that I was lucky enough to weave together, and enormous thanks go to everyone who played a part:

My publishing team at Weinstein Books: Harvey Weinstein, Judy Hottensen, Kristin Powers, and Katie Finch—they are incredibly skillful at producing books, and I feel comfortably at home with them.

My new partners at Perseus: David Steinberger, Katie McHugh, and John Radziewicz who have been wonderful to work with.

Jennifer Rudolph Walsh, my agent at William Morris Endeavor, who has championed my ideas and helped me to run with them.

Emily Votruba, for her spot on copyediting, Ellen Rosenblatt for making the typesetting friendly, Brian Chojnowski for the cover design, Charles Bush for his lovely cover photograph, and Nick Mullan who proofread and followed up on all the fact checking.

Bruce Friedrich, Chris Holbein, Stacy Davies, Margo Forker, Paula Moore, and Nicki Graham who each did research and/or answered my seemingly endless queries.

The doctors and nutritional scientists who shared with me their expertise and peer reviewed data: Dean Ornish, MD, T. Colin Campbell, PhD, Caldwell Esselstyn, MD, Neal Barnard, MD, and Michael Greger, MD.

Those who shared their stories and testimonials: Ben Goldsmith, Meg Wolff, Robert Dew, Natala Constantine, Ruth Heidrich, PhD, Bruce Wieland, Gene Baur, Josh Balk, Nathan Runkle (and his unnamed undercover investigator), and Philip Schein. And thanks to Rory Freedman, Joe Connelly, and Lisa Lange for making some of the connections.

The brilliant professor of theology and religious studies, Aaron Gross, without whom this book would not have the soulful substance it does. He schooled me, and provided much insight, academic research, and fascinating nuggets of religious history.

My beloved editor, Caroline Pincus, who artfully shaped and brought to life the manuscript; she is a literary midwife who has wisely and lovingly helped me with every word.

And finally, my husband Tom, who came up with the word Veganist, and who continues to be a gift and a blessing to me; I am forever grateful that we found our way to each other.
