Helpful Score: 1
When I first ordered this book I bought it because of all the controversy surrounding the book's word usuage, and I have to admit, the book is filled with fowl language. But in all truth the language it is filled with, including the insults, are the things that we usually think when we see an overweight individual standing in line at McDonalds or buying HoHo's at the local supermarket. Now don't get me wrong, some of what was in this book shocked me so much that I sat it down for a few days without the intention of ever picking it up again. But I found myself drawn back to it's hold.
Outside of the language issues the book is filled with all kinds of valuable information that we as consumers should know about but usually do not. The scandals dealing with the food and drug administration, dairy and meat farms, and the EPA is enough to scare anyone half to death. The nutritional information provided in the book is really beneficial to people trying to figure out what is good for them and what is bad.
Now that I have finished the book I have found myself spending the extra .20 cents to buy my products organic and avoid the dangers presented in this book!! It is really a great read and the diet provided in the book actually is quite a great diet!! (of course I still eat meat but now that I know which veggies will help clean out my system I buy those too instead of canned veggies and fruit)!
So in conclusion, if you are the type of person who gets easily insulted I wouldn't recommend this book for you to read. But if you are the type of person who is really interested in what foods you should be eating and what foods to avoid (not to mention a chemical breakdown of all the confusing ingredients listed in your food's ingredient list) this book is definately for you.
I will be keeping my copy for a long time as a reference!
