While I really enjoyed the insight on what we really put in our mouths, and the attitude in the writing, the point of this book is too convince you to become a vegan. In my opinion, that is unhealthy and unrealistic for most people. I would still recommend it, but take the information with a grain of salt.

I picked this one up at the airport before a 3 hour flight and by touch-down, had finished it. I couldn't put it down, mainly because it contained lots of interesting info that you didn't know along with an undertone of animal rights messaging. Overall, the suggestions they make to lose weight make sense - portion control, reading labels to "eat clean" - if you can't pronounce it, you probably shouldn't put it in your mouth. Most compelling for me was the insight into the hormones that we ingest through dairy and meat. If they're pumping animals full of them, we're consuming them too. I also love the author's observation that animals stop seeking milk after a certain age - then why do humans feel they need it after puberty? As a meat and dairy eater, it did make me think about cutting back a bit.
Sounds heavy but overall an interesting, amusing read with some good facts and opinions. Worth a read if you're into reading about health, diets, etc.

I couldn't put this book down.
It was in your face, and hilarious.
I found the recommendations to live by in the skinny bitch book to be too hard to live by. BUT...I'll be honest with you I haven't touched meat in two days....also though I am not big on red meat in the first place and was a vegatarien for age 15-16.
I also bought soya milk, haven't eaten cheese, and am giving up the java. I felt grossed out opening a can of tuna today. This book is really graphic,about animal treatment and will scrare the crappers out of you!

These girls are very clever , and know that everyone will spent $$ on a diet book, and no one buys vegan cookbooks.

One thing is for certain....READ YOUR LABELS.I have never felt so aware of want I am eating. This book will make you wake up and smell the coffee (in my case no coffee).... I used to only read the calories, and now I look at the ingredients and read exactly what is going inside me. Use your head >>>>(They says that lots in the book!) if you can't even prononce an ingredient in your food why should you eat it.
