The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet by Alicia Silverstone

3.0

I can't help it... I read this in Cher Horowitz's voice too! Her writing style lends itself to that, since it's sprinkled liberally with words like "icky." And she's not shy about talking about poop and farting, which I think is completely awesome.

Silverstone's diet is pretty specific. It'll be great for some vegans (or new vegans) but other people might want to look elsewhere for their recipes. As an urban Californian it makes a lot of sense for me; when I lived in LA I used to see Silverstone regularly at the Hollywood Farmers' Market, so I totally get where she's coming from as far as the kind of shopping and cooking she advocates. I haven't had the chance to try her recipes yet but they sound good to me!
