Product Description
Skinny Bitch created a movement when it exposed the horrors of the food industry, while inspiring people across the world to stop eating “crap.” Now the “Bitches” are back?this time with a book geared to pregnant women. And just because their audience is in a “delicate condition” doesn’t mean they’ll deliver a gentle message. As they did with Skinny Bitch, Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin expose the truth about the food we eat?with its hormones, chemicals, and other funky stuff. But even though they are “Skinny,” they want women to chow down on the right foods and gain their fair share of weight through their pregnancies. They also won’t mince words on these topics:
• the best foods for a healthy baby and mommy
• the dangers of common lotions, creams, and beauty products that women slather on their bodies (many contain carcinogens)
• why every mother should “suck it up” and breastfeed
• the lowdown on what really happens “post-push” (after birth)
• how the companies we trust don’t care about children (choosing baby food and other products carefully) With the same sassy tone that made Skinny Bitch laugh-out-loud funny, Skinny Bitch: Bun in the Oven will give expectant moms the information they need to “use their head” and have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.

 Self-Righteous, Unhelpful and Mean-Spirited November 30, 2008

I wanted to put this book down after the first few chapters but I stuck it out looking for the good parts. Didn't find them. If you're a vegan and you want to know how to stick to a vegan diet throughout your pregnancy, get a different book. This book has very little information about what food to eat -- just a list of some processed products you'll find in health food store freezers and some menus that sound okay but are impractical for working women. No recipes are provided, either. If you're not a vegan, this book won't convince you. It's full of insults and dire warnings that are likely to anger people who aren't yet receptive to a vegetarian lifestyle, much less a vegan one. I don't think pregnancy is the best time to be trying a vegan diet for the first time, anyway. It's hard enough for one person to learn to eat a whole new way -- and moms are eating for two. Get a book that tells you how to eat a varied, healthy organic diet that emphasizes fresh, whole foods, learn what nutrients are especially important during pregnancy, and don't expose yourself to these miserable women who believe they have all the answers.

I found the book to be horrendously condesending and 'high and mighty'. Although I believe in most of the things that the authors are writing about when it comes to living a vegan lifestyle, it was such a disappointment!
reading it gives me a headache November 24, 2008

As other people said, this book is good at teaching you how to have a healthy vegetarian/vegan pregnancy. so this is really how they should write the book: if you are already a vegan/vegetarian, you are in good shape and what else you need to do. If not, otherwise, how to be healthy and skinny during pregnancy..
Instead, the authors just constantly convince you (almost rudely) to convert yourself into a vegan - not even a vegetarian, which means that not eating meat isn't enough. Dairy products and eggs are all bad bad bad.. wtf?
Not what it purports to be November 18, 2008

This book is not what it purports to be. They even tell you in the book the whole title and gimmick is a marketing ploy to get you to buy the book. I was looking for a smart guide to eating better in my second pregnancy. Instead this book is about why you should be a vegan, whether you are pregnant or not. I will say some of the info was useful (like how simple carbs are bad) but I don't buy that simply because I am not a vegan I am eating bad for me and my baby and my baby will be deformed and have all kinds of problems. I really do feel resentful that I bought this thinking I would get dieting tips (for the average mom)and exercise tips for pregnant women. If you are not interested in being a vegan, don't buy it, there are better books out there.
Incredibly dangerous book. November 14, 2008

Pregnancy is not the time to try such drastic diets. This book would be less dangerous if it was about how to cook up meth to pay your medical bills while pregnant.
If you want to talk about fact and research it should be easy to find that this book not only seems like an endorsement for PETA but seems to actually be yet another secretly backed PETA off shoot just like the ones that like to post the addresses of scientists doing important research into real medicine. If anyone can take a diet book that pushes colonics as being an important part of being healthy, need to really start doing some research.
