Skinny Bitch have you read this book? |
No I've seen at Barnes and Noble though. |
Never seen that one, but I'm very familiar with " Fat, Flabby and Forty" |
No but I have thought about it. |
Never heard of it? What is it supposed to be about... other than skinny bitches |

I"ll give you a heads up..... There's a new book coming out for us older gals, it's called..... "I still got it but no one wants it." |
That sounds like it's the right one for me! rofl |
I haven't read it yet, but I hear it scares the crap out of you in terms of food! Are you reading it? |
I read it. Its a really good book IMO. It does defiantly make you think about what humans eat and what we shouldn't be eating. I recommend it! :thumbup: |
I just checked out the reviews on Amazon, and it looks like it gets a big thumbs down from scientists. Several people posted that they have bio-medical degrees and that the scientific claims in the book are simply wrong. If you are looking for some good books about diet, I loved 'The Omnivore's Dilemma' (this is not a diet book, but it's about how food is produced in the US and why there is corn in absolutely everything nowadays); 'Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy', which DOES have very well founded science about diet. It's the only nutrional book I've ever read that actually covers all the major studies done about diet and says, "this is what we are very sure of, this is what we think is probably true, and this is what we're guessing." Very refreshing! Also, I'm getting into the new Lifetime show "Cook Yourself Thin". It has a lot of really good tips. :) |
Saw it but never picked it up. I do want the Hungry Girl cookbooks...and saw the "Cook Yourself Thin" book...might have to pick that one up as well. :) |
I read it and loved it. It's not for delicate ears by any means but it's a highly entertaining, humorous book largely about factory farming. That's a big feat in itself. |
Shows you how on top of things I am...I seen the title for this and then noticed it was in the Off topics Forum and thought to myself.."wonder why this isn't in the breeders forum" duh!! LOL I hadn't even heard of it..might have to check it out at the library tho! |

i have seen a lot of factory farm videos too, well, maybe not that many, but enough to scar me for life that's for sure! i thought the exposure of the factory farm was even more in-depth in this book, because they compiled the info. they got from different sources/books/interviews. it's more than just the treatment of animals in the factory farms, but there's info. about the whole process. (how unsanitary, and problems with regulations, laws, ...etc.) i also have the cookbook. i don't know if it's good or not because i really don't cook that much. but i know that they hired professional chefs to help them develop the cookbook. i will try to cook a few things from the cook book and let you know if it's any good :) |

To those who aren't familiar with it, there is a lot of, um, harsh language in it. If you aren't comfortable with the F word, it probably isn't for you. I loved it but I can be a potty mouth sometimes.:D |
I've read it and love it! Don't expect a nice vocabulary from the writers, but I guess their point is for you to get the message of what you are reading. They sure make their point! It's about eating right, being compassionate and feeling good about it. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: |

not really, Whole foods carries most of the ingredients. |
I read the book when it first came out. As said by Nikki, It is not for the faint of heart. It is a fabulous read. It made me sick, incredibly sad and soooo angry all at the same time. If you want to read it, be prepared for very graphic stories about the animal cruelty. ~Kathy:animal-pa |
I listened to the audio book and it really makes you think about what your eating. I really watched my diet for a while after that. :eek: Any food that came from an animal in any way grossed me out and sometimes still does. |

I eat almost no meat and dairy but still not 100% yet, like you would like to be one day. Still have the odd McDonalds hamburger, sour cream, butter... but not too often. |
