Yesterday I wrote about my reaction to Salon.com's review of Skinny Bitch, the nasty-toned secret-vegan self-help cum diet book.
And via Our Bodies, Our Blog, I found out Tara Parker-Pope also noticed Kaufman's article. It's worth reading the reactions on Parker-Pope's NY Times blog, Well. I liked this one:
I am so tired of the nasty, shallow appearance-oriented roles that women insist on playing… or playing into. The best way to keep going on any new food program is my sticking with it for a few weeks (one or two even) and letting the positive effects of healthy eating and the loss of those first few pounds, encourage you to eat better.
I thought it was bad when I was younger, but we didn’t have size zero when I was in high school. I feel for the women who are going to by into this.— Posted by stefzad
stefzad, I hate to break it to you, but they not only have size 0 now, they have size 00 and 00P.
