Skinny B****

Yep, the title to this post is Skinny B****. I have censored it for those of you who are looking at this on your work computer and wouldn't really appreciate your company's filters catching it and sending your log on to some "bad list." So....you're very welcome.

For those of you who don't know what this book is, its written by a former model and a former agent for Ford Models. Well, when I was watching E News! last week and saw these very skinny ladies talking about their new book, I thought, "I want to be a skinny b***** too!" So, I went to the library and got it....read the first few chapters and was really enjoying it thus far. The gist of the book during the first part was to eat more leafy greens, carbs are good for you (thank you!!) and fruits should be a part of your day. So, I'm nodding yes to all of these items until page 39, aka Chapter 4: The Dead, Rotting, Decomposing Flesh Diet. Hm....is this referring to lovely hamburgers, steaks and chicken tenders? Yes. 

I am not a vegetarian, I love meat. But I won't even go into the horrors that are detailed a few chapters down about the living conditions of animals and slaughter practices. I will just say, that I struggled this afternoon as I spooned my cottage cheese onto my baked potato and wondered how I was going to eat it. In fact, I don't think that I would have been able if there were anywhere else downtown in walking distance of my building that is open AND selling food, they have replaced restaurants with construction cones down there.

So, the moral of the story is, a fascinating book, (there really is a product called Tofurkey! I thought it was an urban myth) but unless you really want to commit yourself to the vegan lifestyle, you are not going to be a skinny b****.
