As Randy Jackson from American Idol would say "it was awwwright for me, dog!"
All kidding aside, Skinny Bitch is a fairly interesting read.
Skinny Bitch is a book about how to become a skinny. They claim that men and women constantly complain about how they look and their weight. In their opinion, do something about it. Stop eating like a cow. Stop eating A COW. Stop drinking from A COW.
The book very firmly asserts that everbody should be a vegan and organic. Basically, in their opinion-- Meat is bad, dairy is horrible and pesticides will kill you. They site numerous studies throughout the book that show how the FDA is corrupt, how we are the only animals on the planet that drink milk after childhood, etc, etc.
While there are many 'good points' made in the book (and on a personal level, I agree with many of them), I felt like there was little real substance to the book. Yes, they sited a lot of sources for studies, but they werent the most credible sources. The authors are self-proclaimed "know-it-alls" and the book is based in little personal knowledge or medical studies. To me, that equals a little misleading.
In addition, I was a little shocked by the language in the book. I was expecting an edgy read, but these women are crass and very direct. Skinny "bitch" is nothing compared to the rest of the tone. I can definitely roll with the language, but I was taken aback several times.
At the end of the day, I am happy I read Skinny Bitch, but it was just awriiighhht for me. It is a healthy reminder to be mindful of what you put into your body. However, Im not certain that turning vegan and only eating organic will solve all your woes.
I do recommend SKINNY BITCH if you want to know what all the controversy is about. But, if you are truly looking for ways to live a healthier life-- or be skinny-- Im not certain it is the most practical book you can find.
The read is quick-- just a few train rides for me.
