Kim Barnouin, co-author of Skinny Bitch and founder of Healthybitchdaily.com, has been interviewed by the Phillyist.
Skinny Bitch contains some pretty colorful language, which surprise some.
But when it comes to health, sometimes you have to be frank–it’s better to have a dirty mouth than a dirty artery.
“It was a very conscious decision to write the book like we talk normally,” Barnouin explained. “Yes, it’s a little harsh, but our country is in a health crisis. There isn’t time anymore for hand-holding. We wanted to wake people up and make them sit up and take notice about what’s in their food and how it gets to their plate. People are always telling me that because of the language, they were able to learn a lot of information and actually retain it and understand it. We talk to readers like they are our girlfriends: yes, a little potty-mouthed, but meant to be funny, not insulting.”
Kim is completing a cookbook that is scheduled for release later this year.
