Don’t Judge a ‘Skinny Bitch’ Book by its Cover
Skinny Bitch is an irreverent book. It has an unapologetic tone. It began climbing the Best Seller list after Victoria Beckham was photographed with a copy in her lithe hand.
The book is anecdotal and offers advice about a strict vegan diet. Some people who bought the book have been vocally disappointed about an unadvertised focus on animal rights.
The authors are a bit perplexed and even offended that the people are crying foul over the chapters detailing inhumane conditions in poultry farms.
I attended a course called Issues in Agriculture when I was in my early twenties. There is an author whose work I came to detest while I took that course. His name is Peter Singer. He is brilliant and eloquent and, in the end, rather boring.
I suspect that when skinny bitches who are in PETA take a serious tone, they probably sound a lot like him.
I don’t have a problem with the fact that the marketing of a best seller failed to detail the less saleable parts.
