veganism: Skinny B*tch is geared towards women, but they have another book for guys... Skinny Bastard. Edit for more details: Skinny B*tch has information that is useful to everyone, male and female. However, the authors assume that their readers are women and frequently address them as such. They also include information that is more applicable to women (for example, how a vegan diet can help with PMS). So while you could read it and learn from it, it might be a bit weird at times.|||Yes, it is geared towards women and the authors do promote veganism. However, I would *not* recommend reading it. It's full of pseudo-advice/science that contradicts what a doctor or nutritionist would tell you is healthy. Additionally, it's written in a very woman-hating tone that friends with eating disorders have found very triggering. It's not a healthy read, emotionally or physically. If you're interested in veganism and/or healthy eating, there are plenty of great books on the topic: "Making a Killing" (about capitalism & animal agriculture) and "Vegan Freak" (about why you should be vegan and how to be vegan while keeping your sense of humor) by Bob & Jenna Torres, "Sistah Vegan" by A. Breeze Harper (about African American women and veganism), "Becoming Vegan" by Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina (GREAT, practical health info), "Thrive" by Brendan Brazier (about veganism and athletes), & "The China Study" by Dr. T. Colin Campbell (why plant-based diets are the healthiest).|||The book is completely ignorant and doesn't bother to cover most of the facts about vegetarianism. And if you really are looking into a book called Skinny ***** as a way to change your lifestyle, don't be so angry if that's what you are referred to as.|||its generally just about being healthy and eating clean foods that are good for you. you'll notice their recipes and guidance don't include animal products....but all around its a good resource for healthier eating. just skip the chapter about why they support vegetarianism and you'll be ok.|||It certainly comes from a vegan point of view. It's not a vegan diet is the only diet and all others will burn for theirs kind of thing. But you can certainly tell where she stands on the subject. The recipes are only vegan or vegetarian and they do mention factory farming. I liked the book. It wasn't what I thought it was going to be but it was still good.|||I always wanted to become vegan/vegetarian and this book got me do to it!! Although I was only vegan for 2 weeks (its sooo hard) and was a true vegetarian for over a year, I have introduced fish back into my diet though...but its very informative!!|||Yes, but there is a book called Skinny Bastard for guys.|||Skinny B**** is geared towards naive preteens. The dietary advice is given is the exact opposite that a dietitian or doctor would tell you. (Things such as "don't eat until you are ravenous", is the exact opposite of what you should do; you should actually eat 5-6 small meals each day.) They also have zero knowledge of farming, both crops and livestock. .
