Oh hey, this again. out the other at gmail |
*snip*So it’s been about a month since I read Skinny Bitch and decided to change the way we eat. Nothing drastic, just slow incremental changes that over time would make our diet healthier and healthier. So I think it’s time to review what’s changed and what hasn’t, what’s working and what’s not, and how I feel.
So I just Google previewed this book, out of curiosity, because I’ve heard about it and never really looked into it. HOLY FUCKING GOD.
Here are, I kid you not, the first words of chapter one. Word for pathetic, ridiculous, inane, awful, sickening, insipid word.
Okay. Use your head. You need to get healthy if you’re going to get skinny. Healthy=skinny. Unhealthy= fat. The first thing you need to do is give up your gross vices. Don’t act surprised! You cannot keep eating the same shit and expect to get skinny…Ciggarettes are for losers..they are so 1989 and totally uncool (emphasis mine.)….Of course it’s easier to socialize after you’ve had a few drinks but being a big fat pig will hinder you sober or drunk. And habitual drinking equals big fat pig syndrome. It makes you fat, bloated and farty….Hence bloated fat pig syndrome.
WHAAAAAT? OH I see so smoking is totally uncool so we should all stop because it makes us uncool. If only the addicts who had been trying to quit for years had known this all along (because being cool is obviously the point of life)
Thanks for reminding everyone that skinny is healthy and fat is unhealthy. That’s mighty dern scientific and even handed of ya! Didja pick up all yer really extra insightful and correct information at that there Harvard Medimacal skool? Yer shure smart, miss lady! Also, could you project some more of your own self loathing and personal shame onto your readers, because I don’t think they’re getting enough of that. Everyone knows that you have to teach people to hate themselves or they’ll never change! Especially women!
Who publishes this vitriolic garbage?
This isn’t a slag on the original poster, of course, her post simply inspired me to look up the book.
This was the worst. book. ever. My original review when I forced myself through it last year:
This book is AWFUL - a combination of all the horrible rumors and misinformation you hear about food, all collected in one convenient and disgusting place. Sugar will kill you… artificial sweetener will kill you… every chicken that has ever been killed for food has suffered miserably and cooked alive… it just goes on and on. I was initially excited about reading this book because of the no-nonsense attitude of the writers (they curse frequently and there is an entire chapter called “pooping”), but scare tactics will not make you skinny, and being afraid to eat anything that isn’t organic, animal-free or grown in your own home is a pretty unreasonable way to live your life. I think choosing to go vegan is wonderful, but since that would never be a choice I’d make, this book has nothing to offer me.
