Overall rating:***
I have mixed feelings about this book.The style of writing is great. The crisp,no-nonsense way of talking about food and nutrition is spot-on.It's snappy and clever. Until you come to a chapter named"The dead, rotting, decomposing flesh diet".Ooookaay. They write about animal cruelty and abuse. In all the gory detail. So they are trying to sell veganism.Very hard. Alright. I'm on board. But you know what's a shocker? The cookbook they came up with "Skinny bitch in the kitch" has recipes with beef, chicken and pork. Not good, girls. You have to walk the talk. This is definitely a letdown.
The next chapter is entitled "The dairy disaster". This describes how milk, butter and cheese are as bad for us as meat. If not worse. This is again well-written and descriptive. This is more impressive because their cookbook has no dairy ingredients in them and they come off as consistent dairy-haters.
It's one of the books people feel strongly about. I think that is sort of the idea behind the book. So they achieve their goal. Do I think that "Skinny Bitch" changed my life? Not so much. But "A" for effort.
