Skinny Bitch Bun in the Oven: A Gutsy Guide to Becoming One Hot (and Healthy) Mother!
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 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.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling authors! Over 1,000,000 Skinny Bitches worldwide! Publishers Weekly Vegan 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. (Sept.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

\ From Barnes & NobleAfter the word-of-mouth triumph of Skinny Bitch, sassy SBs Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin are back with a how-to-eat guide for pregnant women. As the authors note in the intro, this isn't a What to Expect When You're Expecting, it's a no-nonsense primer on everything you need to know about feeding the bulge so that he or she becomes exquisitely healthy. As in their previous book, these hip vegans dump the dirt on meat, sugar, food additives and beauty products that they believe are wrecking your innards, but they do provide alternatives apt to make you and your baby blossom.\ \ \ \ \ Publishers WeeklyVegan Skinny Bitch authors Freedman and Barnouin are back, this time focusing on nutrition and diet during pregnancy.
