Skinny Bitch ---Book Review
I know I'm a little late to the party, but I finally picked up my own copy of Skinny Bitch and gave it a read. First of all, I couldn't put it down. It was sassy and honest and just what I had needed to refuel my motivation as a vegan who wants to be as healthy and look as good as possible.
I really love how the authors go through each and every Vice we have ( Coffee, Cigarettes, Alcohol, Dairy, Meats etc.) and breaks down why they are bad for you, what they are doing to your body, and why you should kick them out of your life! Some of the stuff is very scientific and it really breaks down to how these things directly affect your life, body, and the way you feel.
They also do a great job of talking about how the food industry really works. The politics behind it, and all the cruel behind-the-scenes action we all try to ignore in order to live in Pleasantville and continue to eat our porkchops. She actually presents quotes from Factory Farm workers who have seen it all first hand.
Lastly, they are able to present great healthy tips for your new Vegan lifestyle. Shopping lists and meal plans, and extra motivation to get healthy and SEXY! It's not hard when they break it down for you like that. Basically, we all grow up in this world of denial. we dont want to look our food in the face. we dont know our limits. and we need someone to slap us in the face and bring us back to reality. That's what Skinny Bitch does, and I highly recommend it as a good intro read to the Vegan lifestyle.
