I was surprised that, after all the hype about this book, I hated it. No alcohol. No smoking. No pop. No sugar. No carbs. No dairy. No meat. At one point they called the readers fat pigs at the trough. I just couldn't get into the tone of this book. It was not for me.

This book blew my mind! The authors employ a very blunt, no-nonsense approach to healthy eating. They support veganism as the healthiest lifestyle option, but they provide enough information to allow the reader to draw her own conclusions about what works for her. Personally, I plan to integrate a lot of their ideas into my family's lifestyle.

The title of this one grabbed me. I figured with that kind of attitude, the diet has to be really good. Well, I was sadly dissapointed. The advice is to stop eating all dairy, all meat, eggs, fish, sugar,caffeine, additives, sweeteners, soda, etc. It is basically an advertisement of the vegan lifestyle and has some horrendous stories about the meat industry I wish I hadn't read.

I loved the honesty about the meat and dairy industry as well as the government's role. It was time to take my head out the sand and this book did it. The information about food additives was also very helpful. Great for anyone looking to take back control of their health, with lots of healthy vegan and even implied macrobiotic principles to help you on your way, although no recipes they do suggest further reading including cookbooks. I didn't care for the occasionally foul language but it was appropriately placed for emphasis.

I should have expected from the title, the language used in this book. The tongue-in-cheek insults did not appeal to me - I did not make it to chapter 3. Good info, negative format.

Loved this book, really made me thing about what I've been eating and going to make some changes in my diet!
