Punk rock icon John Joseph grew up on the mean streets of New
York City in the 1970s. From gang fights to drug addiction, foster
homes to lockups—he’s lived it all. But shifting the way he
thought about food and committing to a plant-based diet is the one
decision he credits with saving his life.

Today, he’s
completing triathlons, keeping up with guys half his age, and still
rocking with his band on world tours. In Meat Is for Pussies, he offers a
no-holds-barred guide to plant-based living for every dude out there
who thinks grilling burgers, eating at a steak house, or sitting down
with a bucket of wings is a “guy thing.”

Joseph
presents a throw-down of information, offering both personal and
scientific evidence that a plant-based diet offers the best path to
athleticism, strength, sexual stamina, and health. In addition to
smashing the myths surrounding meat, Joseph offers a meal plan, recipes,
and a workout regimen that make it easy to go plant-based and get a
ripped body.
