Skinny Bitch: A Book Review
I got into a phase to read self-help books. This was the first I turned to and honestly some of it actually scared me into becoming Vegan. Which I have been for a couple weeks now. This book is a way to scare you straight I suppose. It tells you all the dangers in the food you eat.
To be fair I think it took it to the extremes though. I however read the chapter about meat and how the animals are treated before being killed in slaughter houses. It was in descriptive disgusting detail of what the workers are doing to the poor things and that no one is going to stop it. Or how they pump cows full of steroids to produce more milk to make the consumers' demands. Now I drink Almond milk and to be honest, I could drink that all day every day. It tastes much better than cow's milk anyway.
This book is pretty much encouraging you to eat hay and drink spring water for the rest of your life. I think that's a little too much to put it lightly. I have gone Vegan but it's in a pretty basic sense of the term. I don't buy all organic produce, I look at labels to make sure there's no animal byproducts in the food i'm eating such as butter, eggs, milk, cheese. That's for a different blog entry though. my journey with being Vegan will be on This Girl's Life: A Blog
This book doesn't even talk about exercise. It pretty much says you can be lazy as long as you're eating a diet of organic grass and bottled water. Jee, Thanks for scaring me into a pasture lifestyle Rory and Kim...
