This book changed my life.November 12, 2008 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I read this book a few months ago and since making some of the changes, I can honestly say I feel better than ever. I must admit that I went to the bookstore to purchase a vegetarian cookbook, because I had already pretty much decided to give up meat. I did not know that when I picked this book up, it had anything to do about becoming vegan. I was laughing out loud when I began reading this book, the authors are hilarious (I am not offended by profanity) and their advice is pretty common sense. the only area I was not convinced about was their recommendations of fasting. I will not be trying that anytime soon. This book has led me to think more about what I put into and onto my body, and let me say, I don't think my body has ever felt this good. I am forever grateful to the authors for coming out with this easy to read book that sparks your interest into things that many would rather not think about. Think about it! Thanks again to the authors!!!

I read this book in 1 night. The majority of the book is advocating becoming a vegan, but it was definitely a wake up call. Nothing in this book was something that I haven't heard before regarding cruelty to animals and unsafe chemicals in foods - these ladies go into great detail though - which people (and I) need as a good kick in the head. Their ideas and theories only make sense when you think about them - especially when tied into other evidence and stories from the unhealthy or those with major illnesses, who change their lifestyle and eating habits only to be cured of an otherwise incurable and even fatal disease. I think everyone should read this book, but if you are looking for quick-fix tips and tricks to getting thin without any effort or without changing your lifestyle, this book isn't for you.
A big fat lieNovember 8, 2008 6 out of 16 found this review helpful
This book is NOT a diet book it's a manifesto for the wacko PETA group. It's a scare tactic filled with lies to make you afraid to eat meat and convince you to be a vegan. I'm livid that they took their wacky animal rights agenda and made it out to be a diet book so they could coerce people into buying it.
A TOTAL WASTE of money.

I didn't want to give this book ANY stars. Reading it (and I have to admit, I didn't make it very far) made me feel dirty. This book ferociously insults its readers at every opportunity. The authors may have thought they were being clever, but really, how hard is it to be nasty? This is a yucky, mean-spirited book written by women I hope I never meet.
Keeping It RealNovember 6, 2008 3 out of 9 found this review helpful
OMG, this book kept it very real about the torturing of these poor animals that live in slaughterhouses. I don't know how anyone could consume meat after reading this book. I am Vegan b/c of this book. Save an animal b/c karma is a bit3h. If you like pork chops, you will comeback as a pig, Karma. You are what you eat, so if you eat ham, you are a PIG. Embrace & love vegetarianism, so you could be healthy. Eat to live, don't live to eat. Befriend animals, don't eat them. Thank you, Rory and Kim for such an informative book.
