Skinny Bitch

Not your typical boring diet book, this is a tart-tongued, no-holds-barred wakeup call to all women who want to be thin. With such blunt advice as, “Soda is liquid Satan” and “You are a total moron if you think the Atkins Diet will make you thin,” it’s a rallying cry for all savvy women to start eating healthy and looking radiant. Unlike standard diet books, it actually makes the reader laugh out loud with its truthful, smart-mouthed revelations. Behind all the attitude, however, there’s solid guidance. Skinny Bitch espouses a healthful lifestyle that promotes whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and encourages women to get excited about feeling “clean and pure and energized.”

4 Stars Misleading Title but Great Book
I give this book four stars because it is very informative.

This book provides critical insight into the US food industry, and it is disturbing. I think that everyone should know what goes behind the scenes and where our food comes from. I am now a vegetarian due to the chapter in this book about the meat industry. This book did not make me skinny however. The diet advocated is vegan which is too restrictive for me. Also, my issue is that I know what food I should be eating, I just lack the willpower to do it. So, as far as being a weight loss tool, I think that it would help someone who needed help differentiating between healthy food and “healthy” food.

1 Star Angry women, eat something please
I have read many diet books, but I do not put this book in that categorie. It was the worst book I have ever read! Do they think that because they swear they are funny, or worse yet have a clue how to diet or what it is really like to have to lose weight? I would not recommend you waste your money on this book. I can’t imagine why they consider this a diet book, or even a healthy guide to living a vegen life. AWFUL!!

1 Star Skinny Bitch? More Like Become a Vegan Bitch
I have never in my life returned a book until I purchased this one. Completely misleading and inaccurate, this book is nothing more than vegan/vegetarian propaganda and provides little to no advice on how to eat healthy. And while I appreciate the “tough love” approach, the tone of this book is condescending and nasty at times. Real savvy women know that you don’t need to be vegan/vegetarian to live a healthy life. As far as I’m concerned, these authors are incredibly irresponsible people who shouldn’t be giving advice to anyone. If you really want to eat healthy, buy a book from an actual expert — not a self-proclaimed know-it-all and a ditz with claims to have a degree that doesn’t really exist.

5 Stars made me a vegan!
This book solidified my desire to switch from vegetarian to vegan, and I’ve never looked back. I’m thrilled with my new diet and my new lifestyle. I don’t like the profanity, but it’s their style. If you can ignore it, the message is important. I have a friend who lost nearly 20 pounds after reading this book and going vegan. I, too, have been healthier and lost weight. It’s great for those thinking about veg or vegan diets or those who just want to lose weight.

1 Star Not really a diet, more of an anti-meat campaign
I bought this book because I didn’t have time to read it in-store. And it has some good thoughts and some good research, but mostly they just rage against meat and “chemicals” in all non whole-foods type stores. So basically if you’re not buying organic Jo-Jo’s from Trader Joe’s you’re killing yourself and your family. I love Trader Joe’s and I shop there exclusively, but I don’t buy the “everything you ingest from a normal store is bad” thought. And their research is not necessarily substantiate. For example: Coffee.. they call it a chemical and how bad it is for you and how it contains pesticides, etc. The air we breathe contains pesticide – especially here in so cal. But also, Coffee has been recently shown to fight bladder, stomach, and kidney cancers. It’s actually a fairly healthy antioxidant and a fairly natural product. Not to mention our participation in fair coffee trade helps the economies of other countries. But whatever… these “bitches” are only out to sell their agenda… also their recomendation to eat “one piece of fruit for breakfast” is silly… it’s so hollywood it’s not even funny. Hollywood bitches who can afford to eat exclusively from fair-trade,organic,non chemically food at only 500 calories/day… of course are skinny bitches.. and they’re bitches b/c they’re hungry. There are thousands of starving people right in hollywood… they call themselves all sorts of things .. nutritionists, actors, set directors, whatever.. but they’re all a bunch of hollywood bitches.

On the other hand… the book did get me to mostly give up soda (i’m down to 2/day!) and i’m having vegies for dinner tonight instead of McD’s. So there’s a start. It did make me feel pretty nuts for eating the way i have been. But i’m not a fruit portion away from being a skinny bitch like these hos.

King Corn Green Packaging

KING CORN is a fun and crusading journey into the digestive tract of our fast food nation where one ultra-industrial, pesticide-laden, heavily-subsidized commodity dominates the food pyramid from top to bottom corn. Fueled by curiosity and a dash of naivete, college buddies Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis return to their ancestral home of Greene, Iowa to figure out how a modest kernel conquered America.

With the help of some real farmers, oodles of fertilizer and government aide, and some genetically modified seeds, the friends manage to grow one acre of corn. Along the way, they unlock the hilarious absurdities and scary but hidden truths about America s modern food system in this engrossing and eye-opening documentary.

A graceful and frequently humorous film that captures the idiosyncrasies of its characters and never hectors (Salon), KING CORN shows how and why whenever you eat a hamburger or drink a soda, you re really consuming … corn.

5 Stars Great video
This dvd was creative, entertaining and very informative. I learned things I never realized were true.

5 Stars Thought Provoking
King Corn is a very informative, and sightly disturbing documentary about the American food chain. Two friends from the city travel west to the small town of Greene, Iowa to plant one acre of corn. They do this to try and learn, and show others, what corn farming has become. While in that small town, they interview many wonderful farmers and even see some old family photos. By strange coincidence, the friends who did this documentary both had relatives in this very small town. They do all this while they grow their corn, and sell it on the corn market. They document this whole process very well, and turn it into the documentary: King Corn.

Riddled with many facts, statistics, interviews with corn farmers, and stop motion with corn kernels, King corn informs you of the many problems with American Food. First off, corn is in almost everything we eat, the average American even has corn in their hair. Then it tells of the large amounts of pesticides and chemicals used to grow corn. They can not be good for the health of the corn plant, or the health of the organisms who consume it. It also discuses how terrible a diet of corn is for cattle, and that nearly every cattle farm in America feeds their cattle corn. In addition to all this, the documentary is funny, has a very personal and small-town-America edge to it. All of this, and more, combine to make this an excellent documentary. It has really made me question th quality of the food I eat. I highly recomend this documentary to any person who has ever questioned the quality of their food, or just wants to be educated about this important subject. Informative and entertaining, King Corn is an excellent documentary that any person can enjoy.

5 Stars King Corn tells it like it is about our food supply
Excellent film that should be shown in high school and college classrooms. Few people know how US agriculture has become dangerously unbalanced in terms of the variety of food and the quality of food that is grown in this country. Of course, seeing how corn is grown will also open your eyes as to how terribly the land is managed, and how independent farmers are muscled out by big agri-business. Now, start looking at the ubiquity of high fructose corn syrup in desserts, cereals, packaged meats, etc., and you’ll also understand why Americans are so obese. There are no exaggerations in this film–the frightening facts speak for themselves. Wake up, America.

4 Stars Affable, Informative Documentary for the Whole Family
Two friends from college decided to track the process of growing America’s #1 crop – corn. We see them rent their own acre of land and start, literally from scratch.

They learn some of the evils and the economies of what has become the big business of agriculture – in some ways following in the footsteps of Roger Moore. They produce an eye-opening documentary. However these two pals do their investigating in a hands-on, non-confrontational way. As much as possible, they become a part of the Iowa community where they start their jovially hip adventure.

They usher us through the process of sowing and reaping the corn, as it is done now with giant combines yielding billions of tons of grain every year. Then the friends pursue their crop as it is traded and processed, and as it makes its way to our tables in one form or another.

They show how ubiquitous a part of our lives corn is. It is added as sweetener to almost all the processed food products we eat now, perhaps contributing to the epidemics of obesity and diabetes. It is the staple ingredient in most cattle feed. All of this commercial corn is foul-tasting, almost inedible in its primary raw state.

The two young men do a good job of showing the details of the journey the corn makes from seed to feed. They include the way the crop is fertilized using ammonia. They touch on the herbicides sprayed on the fields and how these chemicals do their work of eradicating weeds without harming the young corn shoots. However, there’s one glaring omission. The pals don’t discuss pesticides at all, and seem not to have used any on their God’s Little Acre.

But the two also take the larger view. They probe the different philosophies that have guided Government programs dealing with farmers. They even track down Earl Butz, the controversial Secretary of Agriculture in the Nixon-Ford Administration, and interview him. He explains how he revamped and reversed the system of incentives given to farmers. He saw that they were paid, not for how much land they withheld from production, but for how much land they planted. This policy has contributed to the near-glut of corn on the market and to the creation of vast monoculture farms.

There’s a wealth of information in this documentary, presented in a lively, engaging way. The pals in effect take a cheery road trip with each other and with their corn – but make some sobering discoveries along the way.

5 Stars Should Be Shown in Every School Room
Having recently made a friend of a person who is very allergic to corn I was “sensitized” into watching this. My friend and this film gave me a whole new appreciation of just how ubiquitous corn is in our diet. It’s nearly impossible to avoid corn in so many commercial products it’s insane. It also becomes obvious it’s certainly not wise to have our nations figurative eggs in so few crop-baskets, virtual mono cultures. I’m old enough to remember grass finished beef, and prefer it, and think it’s beyond egregious that animals are subjected to CAFO’s and factory slaugher houses that regularly have to recall hundreds of thousands of pounds of meat due to contamination. The waste is totally unacceptable and now Mexico won’t accept meat from many of our processors. This traces back to the ubiquitous use of corn and factory farming. Besides the unnatural corn in cattle rations there are other “proteins” including processed road kill and euthanized pets. The epidemic rise if type II diabetes in this country must be tied to so much corn and sweetener/browner/filler/starch as before the use of so much corn, diabetes was fairly UNcommon. The corn syrup seems to upset the metabolic system and contributes to obesity. I do wish that movie had addressed the issues surrounding GMO corn. But then, the lawsuits might have started rolling in. Corn that kills the earworm isn’t something I want on my menu. I realize that bacterium thuringensis is fairly harmless when used as a dust on corn silks, but who knows what the effect is when it’s built into every single kernel we eat of that particular modificication. That said the movie is easy watching with compassion for those who are being forced out of a way of life lived happily for generations and even out of small towns where generations have lived. It is an appeal for America to come to it’s senses and have a good look around. We’re very soon going to need the jobs small farms provide AND food we can actually eat might be handy!

1 Star Inaccurate software program
I purchased this program directly from the manufacturer, Chefnology Software. I put in two recipes and immediately noticed errors. The most obvious was that the software had Splenda (no calorie sweetener) as having calories (23 calories in two little packets)!!! I needed an accurate program for my husband’s restricted diet, and this is not the program for that. If you are looking for accuracy, don’t buy this program. (Chefnology Software apologized and gave me a full refund.)

5 Stars Response from Chefnology re “Inaccurate software program” review
At Chefnology, we base our information on the most trustworthy source we can find, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference. The erroneous data value for Splenda came directly from this database, release SR18. Therefore, one can assume any program that uses the USDA database as reference would have also had this error. We have further verified the nutritional calculations extensively using several professional texts (including Professional Cooking by Giisslen, a book used by professional cooking schools and chefs, that comes with nutrition software included) and in every case the results agreed.

When Julie initially contacted us we thanked her for alerting us to this and apologized for any issues this incorrect value may have caused, explaining that we can only be as accurate as the data we have been provided. We further explained that though we check through the information for accuracy and user friendly naming, being a small company we rely on our customers to let us know when a discrepancy may have been missed so we can research it, make the correction and issue an update or notice. The only specific problem that Julie was able to point out to us was the incorrect calorie value for Splenda. Thanks to her contacting us, this issue has been corrected in the current release. We asked her for details of the other “errors” but she did not provide any. As it is an easy procedure to correct this one database entry, or to add a new item for Splenda with the correct values, we offered Julie a way to correct the problem in her program while awaiting the update. Julie chose instead to ask for a refund, which we provided without hesitation. This being the case, we do not feel she really gave the product a full evaluation before giving this feedback.

Chefnology is a unique company in that we are not a large corporation nor are we backed by one. Every person who works for us is also a user of the product as are their family and friends. We feel that this enables us to make our product be the most comprehensive and complete for the average person as well as the many food professionals who have purchased and use our product on a daily basis. We value our customers and will when needed, work closely with individuals to make sure they are getting the most from the program, even adding features that are requested, such as Label Making. We ask that if you are considering purchasing NutriCook, that you make the evaluation yourself, we are confident that you will agree with our many satisfied customers that this is a valuable program delivering exactly what is promised.
