Maintaining healthy eating habits is a pain in the ass. Those of us who have had successes and failures with our dietary habits know what it is to obsess over every bite and drop that goes into your body. Holy crap, I fucking hate calories. I also can’t stop thinking about them, and feeling guilty about them.
Thus, I was compelled to spend $13.95 at Borders today and buy “Skinny Bitch,” by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin. Skinny Bitch is touted as “A no-nonsense, tough-love guide for savvy girls who want to stop eating crap and start looking fabulous!”
I think a more appropriate subtitle would be “A Girl’s Guide to Becoming a Fucking Vegan and Spending A LOT More Money on Groceries.” I did not realize this book was a vegan manifesto. (I feel like Ross when he found out that condoms are only 97% effective-why don’t they put it on the package! oh, wait, they do. Poor Ross, but that worked out okay for him.) However, no where on the cover of “Skinny Bitch” is the word vegan used. Darn marketing bitches–they knew the book wouldn’t sell as well if they used the V word.
Now, this may seem like I have a negative opinion of this book. That is not the case. I enjoyed it and took away some interesting information. I gave up on Chapter 6 “You Are What You Eat,” about two pages in after I could no longer read about slaughtering animals. I may not be a skinny bitch yet, but I’m a sensitive bitch! I also only skimmed some of the ranting about government agencies because it was pretty easy to get the point of those arguments and come on, who trusts the government?
The gist? Eat smart. Eat organic. Chemicals are bad for you. So are animals products. He doesn’t look very tasty anyway.
The best sweet potato I ever had was organic. I do love sweet potatoes, but I usually love them with rotisserie chicken. *sigh*
So, Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin are telling me to “become a fucking vegan, to become a skinny bitch.”
Okay. I will surrender my V card. I will try this for 30 days (but I’m not starting today, and I sure as hell am going to eat some real ice cream first.) I’m pretty sure I’m still able to eat at Chipotle and these look pretty tasty: Carobelles
Hi Katie, why use such foul language. I hope it did not come from your mouth
