"Skinny Bitch"

would you recommend this book?  I'm a new vegan :)

Who gets to decide which part of the cow we should be eating?  No part of the cow!!!!!  Who are we to decide which animal lives and which dies..... which animal we will abuse for its milk and let live and which animal to bring up just to be abused, and painfully, horribly slaughtered.

And floggingsully, why don't you email the writer and ask her to send you a copy of her degree so that you yourself can be satisfied.  Nutrition degree is not easy to get, seeing as how I am looking into applying in the next few years, when I can afford the tuition fees and time off work.

Once again, there is a huge difference between a degree in nutrition and a 'degree' in holistic nutrition (which doesn't seem to be offered by any acredited college or university).

It's like this with every topic with you.  You are so hardheaded and you refuse to see the gray....  People stop posting in a topic because they are so tired of arguing with you.

 Yes I wholeheartedly agree with you (and don't think you're being hardheaded at all), there is a HUGE difference between degrees. Anyone can write a book and get it published, it does not make you an expert just because you can publish something. There are thousands of ridiculous health myths out there (my dads a doctor, so hes told me about many of them), that many people will read an article or two on, and then be completely convinced they are true.

I absolutely adore this book. I was already vegetarian when I read it, but if confirmed all of the reasons I became one (i.e. the hormones, steriods, pestecides, etc. that are in meat).  The meal plans in the back are really helpful and I also purchased the cook book Skinny Bitch in the Kitch and the recipees are quite delicious.

Oh yes.... I picked up the cookbook too.... great stuff, yummy that you can feel good about!
