Ok here is the book in short:
1. Dead rooting carcasses of meat (poultry, beef, pork ... u name it) is disgusting and poison to eat, as well as unethical.
2.Cows "breast-milk" is discussing (as in your 30 year old ass will not suckle your own mother! So why would you do it to a cow.) And besides Milk is food designed by nature to make you gain 200% of your weight in 12-48 months.
3. Eggs... you are a baby killer!
4. Sugar & corn-syrup = super poison (here I agree). But you are to throw away anything containing hidden sugars. This is 90% of foods you eat have sugar accruing naturally or is added as flavor carrier and liquids like orange juice.
5. Coffee/Tea bad poison! only fresh orange juice is the way to go, but then orange juice has high content of naturally containing sugars...
So summoned up you are to become a total plant eater, and water drinker.
But here is the thing, eating dead and rotting plants, picked early and matured at warehouses to your supermarket's preferred perfection is not what I call ideal either. Especially when you consider the truth about organic farming would make the skinny bitches run for the hills. Speaking from experience of one doing true organic farming as my great-granny taught me:
1. Do you know why organic foods are so big, nice and full of color, and the taste is so wonderful and full of flavor? .... SHIT!! yes you heard me correctly, Cows dung feeds the plants with nutrients to make them big and strong. So even though you are artificial growth chemical free you are eating plants which are eating shit.
2. Organic farming is pesticide free and therefore good for you. I would differ. Organic farming uses organic pesticides or your apples would be full of worms, your salad eaten by slugs, or other 8-12 leg critters. You want to know how to make your own totally natural, chemical free pesticide? Here take the liquid run of from your stables, though pig stalls are the best, (yes I'm talking about pig piss) and put it in a metal barrel to bake in the sun and in 2-3 months you very sparingly "water" the plants at the base. They will filter this, retain the 'acridity' and will be considered unappetizing to bugs.
If you say that this is not harmful to humans you are right, most of the time.... Where do you thing the salmonella in spinach scare few years back came from? And here is a shocker, Plants are like thin filters, any liquids they suck in go into your system practically unaltered. So the bacteria from all that organic aids go right to your digestive system to produce Dishantria, (as anyone who traveled to middle east can confirm Dhisantria is very unpleasant condition derived from contaminated water or uncooked greens watered by contaminated water from human waste.)
So here it is, and in light of the fact that anything we eat is potentially dead and rotting, one must make a choice to eat as best as one can afford. Being skinny does not mean we are healthy and happy and pre-destined to be successful, or being fat (here i do not speak of morbidly overweight people) does not necessarily mean we are sick and there is something fundamentally wrong with us. One makes choices based on lifestyle one can sustain, and if a bag of Arugula costs $4 and so does a small chicken. Guess what will a waitress, mother of 3 buy on her budget?
If you seriously want to control your diet and your weight, it is rather simple, get a diary, record all intake and keep it under 1500-1800 calories a day. Moderate exercise helps too (but do not expect to drop 15lb in 4 weeks, that is unhealthy and unrealistic). Make sure you stay away fro shugar/chocolate and eat healthy combo of all the food groups, veggies/meat/rice and though you may be still not your ideal weight you will be healthy and happy. Do not allow food-extremists lure you into a another fail diet that will eventually make you gain more weight then when you started. If you have trouble loosing weight go to a nutritionist and get a balanced diet specially constructed for you. Something that will allow you to keep the foods you like to eat just cooked differently, or in smaller portions. These diets are realistic and can be kept long term, until they become part of your lifestyle, without changing who you are and what you like.
(PS. excuse the language but I tried to reflect the crude speech used in the book, which the authors uses to address the reader for a shock factor, to reflect their error.)
