For the past two months my friends have been hyped up about the book "Skinny Bitch," so I had to see for myself what all the fuss was about. I actually enjoyed the book and found it more valuable than I thought I would. The first thing that anyone needs to know about this novel is that it is filled with profanity. Personally, I find the language hilarious, but some people don\'t like that sort of thing and should be forewarned. Overall, I felt that these two ladies have really done a great job. Their assessment of the ways we treat our bodies with cigarettes, caffeine, sugars, meats and dairy is just the most unconventional scrutiny we can ever undergo. The novel is very sharp and funny and the authors are intelligent women who demand respect for the nature and for our own bodies. It is an eye opening book that will make any individual realize to think about what we are really consuming and why we became such an obese nation. There were certain things about this book that I thought the authors took a little too far though. They're all about the vegan lifestyle and insist that it's the only way to be healthy and fit, which I don\'t think is true. In the slaughterhouse chapters, the authors make reference to all the anger and adrenaline that passes through animals before they are killed, and then they claim that meat-eaters digest all that rage and negative energy, which I don't believe. Also, fasts are strongly advocated in this book, which I don't think are necessary or very healthy. In spite of several flaws, "Skinny Bitch" is not without merit. Reading this book will force you to finally stop and think about what you are eating, which is nothing but a good thing.
Skinny Bitch is a must read
