Editorial ReviewSkinny 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.

- If you want to feel bad about yourself, a great read!
The worst book that I have read in recent years. This dribble was given to me as a Christmas gift as I am expecting my second child. She and I thought that it would be a light hearted book about keeping fit during pregnancy. It is the most depressing book I have ever read. It has very little to do with pregnancy at all. Yes, the authors do warn you that they are not going to hold back, what they are pushing is plain nonsense. I am supporter of Friends of Animals and I do eat mostly Organic but to completely... more info
- A great investment in your future health & your child's future health & world
Bun In The Oven is chock full of in-your-face honesty and fun foul-mouthed advice that's incredibly smart and ridiculously well-researched, with an amazing amount of footnotes. If you aren't yet vegan, it may be a real test of character to read this while pregnant, but bringing a child into the world is going to be an even bigger test, so suck it up and get real! This book can help strengthen you in mind and health, as it did for me.
Despite the amusing-yet-rude language throughout, the book concludes... more info

This book will help you know what to eat to have a healthy pregnancy experience and a healthy child,while at the same time give you reassurance with your vision of your... more info
- Self-Righteous, Unhelpful and Mean-Spirited
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,... more info
