FUNNY!!!November 6, 2008 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
I'm laughing all the time i read every chapter... this girls have a particular way to give your comments about the FAST FOOD MOVEMENT we face.
I feel sorrow for myself and everyone that eats junk food and avoid fruits and vegetables!!!
My boyfriend bought this book for me, i couldn't made a better choice. I highly recommend it.. it's funny but gives real information, believe me.
Not what I was expecting.November 5, 2008 3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I was disappointed. Perhaps I should have read more about it before purchasing for my kindle. I thought the sample chapter was hilarious and wanted to like this book. But the more I read, I became put off by the propaganda. I read half of it last night. I may pick it back up later, but I was hoping for something about healthy eating. Not animals being tortured, and how messed up the USDA is... etc etc.
It did however motivate me to think about better choices I can make. Choosing organic, all natural alternatives. There were a few products I'm eager to try.
If I were Vegan, I'd give this 5 stars. But I'm not, and as horrible as this may sound. I LOVE steak! :) But I respect them for voicing their opinion so passionately.
Vegan Book Marketed as Diet BookNovember 4, 2008 5 out of 11 found this review helpful
This book was absolutley terrible. I thought I was buying a "tough love" nutrition book -- but instead was treated to chapter after chapter of two unqualified, foul-mouthed women (which stops being funny about halfway in) pushing a vegan agenda. I get it: you're vegetarians. I respect your choices. But what do all the chapters about animal slaughter have to do with nutrition? There's so many moments and "tips" that are so ridiculous -- like giving blood or fasting to lose weight -- I laughed out loud. How did this make it to the bestseller list? I'm sorry, it needs more than a funny title to be a good book.
Horrible!November 4, 2008 2 out of 6 found this review helpful
I read through this half book in a few hours. I couldn't and wouldn't even read the part on animal slaughter - guess that was supposed to be scared straight. I expected something humorous, but found it vulgar.
Dean Ornish with a potty mouthNovember 3, 2008 4 out of 7 found this review helpful
I thought this would be an informative interesting discussion of being a vegan, but it was a redo of the Dean Ornish type diet with tons of foul language, which was not necessary and a total turn off. If that is what not eating a cheeseburger will do to you, I say get over to Chili's and have one, with fries. There was nothing new or interesting in this book and their "science" was questionable. They covered this over by using profanity to describe anyone who thinks differently. If you must read, borrow from the library so you won't feel like you were cheated out of your money.
