This book is very blunt in its language. I was not offended, but I read this book already being vegan. So, it struck a humorous cord with me in terms of the writing style. I've spoken to some people who were offended by the book, said it "talked down" to them. I can see that. But, on the other hand, they are trying to get an obvious message across, and are up against the dairy industry, the meat industry, and the cultural and social habits of individuals. That is a lot to be up against. In that light, their bluntness makes sense.

I like this book, and would recommend it to others. But, if you're easily offended, maybe check out "The Kind Diet" instead. Or if you really love science, check out "The China Study."
