Toxic Language and Politicized View on Health. This book motivated me to change my diet. I threw food out of my fridge. I gave things away. I had visions of the me that followed the guidance of the book. It was a me that was an animal-loving vegan with a tiny waist and a pretty smile and pretty hair and pretty, beautiful everything. But, it was a pipe dream. The level of perfectionism they demand from their readers is neither attainable or sustainable, particularly in a poor economy. Another attribute was the language they used. I understood that a lot of the, quite frankly fat-phobic and offensive, language was clearly a shock and awe value tool to keep you reading. That being said, the language is also potentially dangerous. I wouldn’t want my teenage self to find this book and read it. And while the aims of the author may have been pure, they created a ticking time bomb of trigger words and attitudes that could harm youthful and naive readers who will be avidly looking for a book with the buzz word SKINNY in it. Being a vegan will not make you beautiful. Being a meat eater won’t make you beautiful. Beauty is a fickle ideal that changes with societal viewpoints and dare I say it, a social construct. The book was an off and feeble attempt to trick the audience into equating beauty with veganism. It is an immediately effective tool but that wears off in the face of the daunting task of doing the impossible. Some of the health tips it gives are helpful and true (and obvious: ie don’t smoke and drink beer like a frat boy) it also attempts to get people to starve themselves. Literally recommending fasting for fourteen days at one point, which could be incredibly harmful. I have met people who have fasted that long. They were not healthy or beautiful after such a fast. They were sick. Another glaring failure of the book is the ability to highlight vegan-persuading facts like comparing human-digestive tracts are similar to most herbivores in nature while glossing over the fact that we cannot live without certain vitamins and nutrients from animals like vitamin B-12. They spent paragraphs talking about the digestive tracts of humans, carnivores, and herbivores. They spent a sentence telling the reader that they also need B-12, which only comes from animal sources. It is not a balanced view or approach to diet. It is, however, excellent at pointing out the terrible issues the U.S. has with agriculture and the political corruption that takes place to keep wealth with the wealthy. All in all, the book is effective at convincing people who lack critical thinking skills of veganism. Its not long, more of a pamphlet that took me a day to read. Wouldn’t recommend to any teen, any sensitive people, or actually, just anyone, really.

Advocates a vegan lifestyle in the most negative way. I HATED the tone of the authors. They were so unpleasant that they rubbed me the wrong way from the get go. Being obnoxious and dropping f-bombs and foul language throughout. Their tone was so negative and preachy; all they were doing is pushing a vegan lifestyle. Not for me at all.

Eye Opening. I have started watching documentaries on conspiracies about agriculture farming, and saw other ones related to meat and health. This book was eye opening and I loved how it was factly based. There was so much information about good and bad ingredients that I never knew about. I'm so excited to start eating healthier. I just have so much to think about now and I don't want to stop there. I want to keep reading books on the same topic and learn more and more. Thank you so much!
