Very good, I unfortunately or very fortunately as I view it, know a great deal about nutrition and I loved how these girls gave it to the audience straight. First off everything they said is true, and heavily supported by any analytical scientific data out there. period. It just is, and I love how they discussed how full of absolute crap the FDA and USDA is, they're a joke, and they're right that people need to get a clue, wake the hell up, and use they're own brain, common sense, and knowledge and actually realize what the heck they're actually putting in their body and supporting with their money day after day in stores, and at their local lunch stops. It's pretty damn importante . In case like all americans, you haven't gotten the memo, it kinda is. I like how sassy and in your face they are, because honestly when you see, and learn just how the conventional agriculture system operates, what it is, how it gets away with so much disgustingness and insane sh#t, what it feeds to people, how it treat animals, crops, and the land. It makes you want to want to go completely apeshit, stomp something into a thousand pieces, and go bust some balls and make this stop. And these girls actually say it aloud, with no apologizes and they shouldn't apologize. I'm sure someone owes us an apology but it's not these authors, this was a great book and it's a nice small summary of very pertinent issues happening right now. I definitely enjoyed it, and it was at the very least a worthwhile read. btw some reviewer gave this book a bad review because she said "no alcohol...no smoking.. you can't do anything etc." hahaa that was funny... yea smokings bad for you sweety. Skinny Bitch does not advise ingesting cigarettes in order to be freaking healthy... wow shocking and out of line (not). anyways yea that's the point of this book everythings so freaking bad for you because it is, and that's how the lovely government and US agriculture system has made it to be, and regulated our food to be, with our own tax dollars no less. sucks but the truth about our food is just that, sucky. The truth is sad sometimes. Though these authors are just trying to engage people and let them know what's in our food . They're just letting people know we have options, and we don't have to live their lives like this, and eat like this, that's all. It's an informative and at the same time, entertaining book, think of it what you will, I suppose, but their info and tips are all factual and based in common sense reasoning. That is if you all have brains, like these authors encourage you to use for yourselves, and be aware of what your eating and how you live your life. And for all those meat eaters realize you have options, but educate yourself. Meat is intended for only a small moderation, in a healthy nourishing diet. That's just how people are wired, and if you want to eat more, thats a choice of yours which is fine to make, but for my 2 cents make sure the meat is free range and sustainable. If you read this book, you get the gist as to why, so yes.
