ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
FROM JACK AND GINNY:
Thank you to our team of experts at Da Capo Press—editor Renée Sedliar, editorial assistant Erica Truxler, project editor Collin Tracy, designer Trish Wilkinson, and copyeditor Nancy King—for their skillful editing, patient guidance, and enthusiasm for this project. We couldn’t imagine a better publishing experience and are grateful to our agent, Angela Miller, for believing in this book and helping us find the perfect home for it.
FROM JACK:
Thank you to Matt Ball, Anne Green, and the rest of Vegan Outreach, who have stood by my nutrition recommendations and writings when my perspective has not always been the most popular.
Ginny Messina was my first mentor in vegan nutrition, and I am honored to have written a book with her. Dr. Michael Greger, Dr. Stephen Walsh, Dr. Paul Appleby, Dr. Reed Mangels, Dr. Mark Messina, Tom Billings, and Brenda Davis have all helped me with research and understanding nutrition. Thank you!
My brother Eric was the first person in my family to boycott the products of factory farms, and I am thankful for all the support and friendship he has given me. I greatly look forward to meeting his and his wife, Thea’s, baby, Dylan, who is due to arrive right before this book is published. My brother Todd is one of my best friends, and I am thankful that while our roots are 2,000 miles away in Cincinnati, only the San Francisco Bay separates us now.
My parents, Jack and Sylvia Norris, have given me their unconditional love and support and have always put my happiness ahead of theirs. You inspire me with your zest for life and genuine kindness towards everyone you meet!
Thank you to Eric Marcus for all the valuable help you have given me with my blog and all you do to promote compassion to animals.
