So…. You’re probably wondering what a cute girl like me is doing reading a book entitled Skinny Bastard
. Um…well, let’s see…I’m married, my hubby isn’t veg and I want him to be. There you have it. Unfortunately, the purchase of said book was made with the hope that he would enjoy the read, get a little enlightened and not give me so much *ahem* about not cooking fish or chicken anymore. No such luck. He laughted at the introduction, chucked a few times in the second chapter and then proceeded to thumb through, avoiding anything that might be a little uncomfortable. So now, it’s my turn to read it. I haven’t finished it yet, but so far, it pretty much follows the same line, tone and context of Skinny Bitch
. Unlike Skinny Bitch
, Skinny Bastard
addresses the male ego and heart disease. The list of resources at the end of the book is updated (which was nice of the girls), and the bawdy humor and annoying cussing is all there, too. I think that this is a good one for those guys in your life who are contemplating veg*n, but haven’t taken the leap of faith yet…or it could just be good education for wives like me. He did say that he skimmed because I already know all this stuff, and he’d rather hear it from me…of course, something tells me that his avoidance tactics worked.

That is not true!!!
I skipped the stuff that she had already told me about when she was reading skinny bitch. I don’t have a prob with her being veg, she shouldn’t have a problem with me eating chicken and fish.
Darling,
I gave you the watered down version. I didn’t want to offend your omnivore ears. I just wish you would have taken the time to read about factory farming. I love you, even if you eat chicken and fish (please brush your teeth before kissing me, though). Thank you for supporting my choice to be vegan.
