I have a really bad tendency to overthink EVERYTHING! My anxiety takes over and I have a hard time getting out of it. This book has really helped me understand things about myself and moving forward with being mentally aware.

Hazel is me and I am her! Ugh I LOVE THESE WOMEN!

OH MY GOODNESS!

It is no secret that I love Oprah so much. This book just added so much more. I'm having the best reading year of my life this year. I'm growing and thriving. This book really is amazing. I may read it again this summer.

This was definitely what I needed at the end of my year. I feel so grateful to have stumbled upon this one when I did <3

Never has my life been more impacted by a book that I have read as it has been with this one.

I have been casually flexitarian for a little over a year. I cooked vegetarian for myself, but when I went out or interacted with food that I was fond of (namely SUSHI and cultural dishes) I would give in. I didn't research more about vegetarianism because I know myself and I knew that I would become more strict about my eating habits. I didn't want to become separated from my culture or other cultures that use meat as staples.

Well, it's happened. This book has opened my eyes to so many things that I didn't know about the reality of factory farms.

I have no shame or hesitation in that I am a vegetarian. What am I going to do when it comes to the things that I was nervous about? I'm still figuring that out. Am I going to eat meat again in my lifetime? Probably, but as of right now, I cannot say that it would happen because I wanted to eat it. UGH I feel like I need more time to meditate on this one because it has ABSOLUTELY changed my life. I may have more to say in a few days.

After reading Eating Animals, I made the switch over from being a flexitarian to being a full on vegetarian. I had avoided reading things that had to do with vegetarianism because I knew that if I read them, I would need to change my lifestyle. I was right.

This book gave me those same vibes. I know I’m not doing enough to combat climate change. I have a lot to think about after this book. I may need to revisit.

Súper cute!

Yeah, this book is in line with the type of things I've been reading recently. I'm totally never going on a diet again. I stopped dieting and started listening to my body at the beginning of this quarentine and I have never been happier. One thing I didn't like about this book is the way it made equivalencies between different types of oppression without naming that those oppressions are indeed not the same. However, I still gained a lot of wonderful information from this book.

This book turned me into a fangirl pie! READ IT. I need a breather now...

reread 12-15-14: I love this book. It's so stinking cute! Now, on to Lola and then Isla!

I read this book with my AntiRacist book club at my job that I help facilitate . I really think that this is one of the most important books I’ve read in a while. It makes you uncomfortable and shows you just how unholy our country is and has been. No one is going to be perfect in any type of social justice work that they do. This book really hones in on the fact that we don’t need to be perfect, we just need to do SOMETHING because that inactivity has resulted in hundreds of years of oppression. I’m so grateful to have read this at this time in my life.
