Skinny *****
Just started reading it. Didn't realize how vulgar some of the explanations of our food and where it comes from was going to be....I don't get sick easily from something I read, but I had to put the book down after they described what livestock go through....and I've even read "Fast Food Nation" which really didn't bother me. Skinny ***** is disturbing. I've basically deciphered so far that the authors views are that we shouldn't eat anything besides fruit and vegetables (they talk about how bad dairy, fish, meat (even chicken) are).

Re: Skinny *****
It was gross and harsh, but I actually gained some insightful info IMO from it in the end.

Re: Skinny *****
It was difficult to read, but it's acurate and I'm glad someone had the guts to get the info out there.

I bought the book last year and after reading a bit returned it because I was so offended (since it was not what I was expecting the book to be about).

I should have returned mine too. It was vulgar. It started off good, but then it was Vegan Propaganda overload!

 I mean, have your opinions but it was so not what I expected (or what the jacket blurb led you to believe - which is why I was offended, I felt duped!).

Re: Skinny *****
I enjoyed the beginning of the book. It gave me a lot of insight into high fructose syrups, corn syrup, how bad splenda is, artificial products, etc. I am all for organic but I do eat meat & dairy. I just try to eat mostly organic or buy chicken/meat that claim isn't pumped with artificial hormones.

That's how I felt when I bought it. I read the first few chapters and never picked it up again.

Re: Skinny *****
I have to say that thank god I was already a vegetarian when I read this book.
I do eat more organic products than I did before reading as well.

Re: Skinny *****
I just finished reading it and was surprised by a lot of the information that was in there.
I am trying to stop drinking regular milk because of it.. and have been looking into meatless options or just eating meat a lot less.
There is a lot of vegan support in the book.. although you wouldnt know it from the cover.

Re: Skinny *****
I know I'm bumping a 2 year old post but I just read this book and NOW I remember seeing this thread the first time.
If I knew what I was getting into I wouldn't have read it... but I did. And now I'm cleaning out my freezer. I'm so disturbed.
