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 backthis time with a book geared to pregnant women. And just because their audience is in a delicate condition doesnt mean theyll deliver a gentle message. As they did with Skinny Bitch, Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin expose the truth about the food we eatwith 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 wont 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 dont 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.

Skinny Bitch authors Freedman and Barnouin are back, this time focusing on nutrition and diet during pregnancy. Their commentary will be familiar to
Skinny Bitch fans who prefer fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, grains and legumes to meat, fish and dairy. Characteristically feisty and foul-mouthed (e.g., they refer to the reader as dumb-ass), these in-your-face, incisive authors have done their research, exposing a host of health issues related to the use of bovine growth hormone and antibiotics in farm animals. Repeating the mantra you and your baby are what you eat, they explain the effects of pesticides in foods (with links to learning disabilities, developmental delays and behavioral disorders), how a high protein diet in pregnancy can lead to high blood pressure, stress and diabetes in the child, and the connection between mercury in fish and birth defects. Insisting that a vegan diet is healthy for both baby and mom (a claim substantiated by the AMA), the authors also include sample menus and vegan tips to satisfy food cravings. Passionately questioning the status quo, Freedman and Barnouin make a compelling case for a vegan pregnancy.

Writing in a style that is meant to be funny and sarcastic with a bit of drill sergeant thrown in, the authors offer some good advice on what to eat and especially what not to eat when pregnant. there is a lot of good advice on thinking critically about what is considered good nutrition and what is not.
