Their language is horrible; they use as many swear words as possible for shock value. Their grammar is terrible. Did anyone edit this thing? I was incredibly turned off by the writing style and tone of the book.
If you can get past the language, most of the information presented is off mark or just plain wrong. The majority of the "scientific" information is not backed up by citations or references.
It's presented as a healthy diet book but the real motive is to convince you to become a vegan. It's a very unpalatable piece of propaganda.

I was disappointed in this book because of the language. I expected some, but it is over the top and unnecessary. I bought it for my daughter and she feels the same. A lot of the recipes are not practical for our families.

This book was an eye opener for me. I started to look at the ingredient listings on what I thought was healthy food in my house and was shocked and horrified over what I saw. This book helps you determine what additives are safe and which ones are not. A quick read. Simple and clear cut on what is good and what is bad for you. This book has changed the way I eat,the way I shop and what I feed my family. The cook book is great. I am so glad I got the box set and not just the one book. The recipes are a great start on how to prepare good meals for your family. I like the tough love type of concept behind the book.

This book is not what it purports to be. They even tell you in the book the whole title and gimmick is a marketing ploy to get you to buy the book. I was looking for a smart guide to eating better in my second pregnancy. Instead this book is about why you should be a vegan, whether you are pregnant or not. I will say some of the info was useful (like how simple carbs are bad) but I don't buy that simply because I am not a vegan I am eating bad for me and my baby and my baby will be deformed and have all kinds of problems. I really do feel resentful that I bought this thinking I would get dieting tips (for the average mom)and exercise tips for pregnant women. If you are not interested in being a vegan, don't buy it, there are better books out there.

Skinny Bitch in a Box
I could really do with out the Robin Williams unplugged version but certainly understand it is used for effect. I can not get it to play on my home computer nor my dc player so I am left to try to get as close to my speakers at work to hear it. I have tried a couple recipes and they are tasty.
I suggest reading Thanking the Monkey by Karen Dawn and Speaking Up for Animals by Kim Smallwood.

We found this book at the library and after my three-year old insisted we renew time and time again, I am finally wising up and buying it. He loves to wind down to this sweetly illustrated story and he appreciates the bond between Archie and his grandmother. We really enjoy this book.
