A Diet Book Takes a Stand? (TAS book review)

217 pages

Though the title is not considered appropriate for most, Skinny B really proved a point about factory farming to its readers. Surprisingly, it's a diet/self-help book too. What a combination!

This book really has no similarity to any diet book I've ever heard of. Usually diet books sugar coat health facts, but the authors of this book, Kim Barnouin and Rory Freedman really pack punches with their blunt and tough words and grab the reader's attention. The authors tell the reader what she needs to hear. They not only discussed why meat-eating is unhealthy for everyone, but also took a major stand on factory farming, which impressed me. Freedman and Barnouin exposed a lot of what goes on behind closed doors of factory farms. I personally loved their unconventional style; however, some just cannot handle the honestly.

The theme of this book was quite heartfelt. Despite the title of the book, Freedman and Barnouin's point is that being skinny does not matter; as long as we're healthy, we should feel good about ourselves. I fully agree with the theme given. Women should be happy if they're healthy and fit, because not everyone will have a model's figure.

I recommend this book to every female out there that will not be easily offended. This book really proves a good point and really tackles major problems.
