With such blunt advice as, "Soda is liquid Satan" and "You are a total moron if you think the Atkins Diet will make you thin," it's a rallying cry for all savvy women to start eating healthy and looking radiant. Unlike standard diet books, it actually makes the reader laugh out loud with its truthful, smart-mouthed revelations. Behind all the attitude, however, there's solid guidance. Skinny Bitch espouses a healthful lifestyle that promotes whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and encourages women to get excited about feeling "clean and pure and energized." Average Rating:
 Rating:  - food for thoughtthe language in this book IS vulgar, but if you can get past that it is also VERY thought-provoking. i was more offended by the slaughter of animals than i was by the language used in the book. i read it yesterday and decided to go VEGAN immediately. i am taking this one meal and one day at a time -- so that it is all not so overwhelming.

It's almost like a girl's high school science class report on "why girls should be a vegan and look like a model". But it is a little fun and a ...

As americans there is alot we dont know that goes on behind the scene. Great book, the animal chapter made me cry though but i still love the book!! Rating: - Some good...mostly bad.Well, the first review said most of what I was thinking, except the one lady does have an M.S. in Nutrition. The good points... nuts are important, especially almonds. I'm glad they mentioned this. Fruit actually has very little nutrition, but for some with vitamin C and some with potassium that we need. Yes we did eat dead rotting carcasses. We were scavengers and ate any dead animal we could find, any egg we could steal from a nest and didn't eat a lot of grain. So, their science ...
