pesticides, chemicals, and steroids as if you were eating the chicken directly. So if you really believe that eating “just egg whites” isn’t fattening, we’ve got a bridge we can sell ya. Eggs are high in saturated fat and are completely disgusting when you think about what you are eating. Try that for once. Actually think about what you are eating!
    You will pee in your pants when you see how much weight you lose from giving up dairy. The fat in cheese is what gives it the taste and texture we love. Of the calories found in cheese, 70 to 80 percent come from fat. Even if you’re buying the low-fat, part-skim nonsense, more than half the calories come from fat.91 Fat free?
    Give us a freaking break! Remember what milk is for. It is designed to fatten up baby cows. Do you really believe it can be made fat free? Get your head out of your ass. Milk = fat. Butter = fat.
    Cheese = fat. People who think these products can be low fat or fat free = fucking morons.
    Luckily, there are many alternatives to dairy products. Not only do grocery stores carry these items, but many coffee shops now offer soymilk and some bakeries are selling dairy-free desserts. A personal favorite-tasting milk substitute is Rice Dream (Original Enriched), which is fortified with vitamins and calcium. But feel free to experiment until you find your own favorite brand. Remember to read the ingredients. Avoid the milk substitutes that contain sugar.
    Instead of butter, try Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread or Soy Garden Natural Buttery Spread, both made from nonhydrogenated oils. Can’t live without ice cream? You don’t have to. Soy Delicious has incredible knock-offs, which are completely dairy free. They even make must-have flavors, such as Chunky Mint Madness, Cookie Avalanche, Rocky Road, and Peanut Butter Zigzag. They also have a line of “ice creams” and sorbets that are fruit-sweetened! Dairy and sugar free! Too exciting for words! We’re also huge fans of Double Rainbow Soy Cream, another amazing ice cream alternative. Are you a cheese addict? No problem. Follow Your Heart’s Vegan Gourmet makes a kick-ass substitute in mozzarella, Monterey jack, and nacho. It even melts! It rules. Beware of the many brands that tout themselves as “soy cheese,” leading consumers to believe they’re dairy free. When you get past the misleading packaging and actually read the ingredients, you’ll discover sneaky dairy ingredients like whey or casein. Steer clear.
    Other brands are completely dairy-free, but they taste like shit.
    Need eggs in your life? Easy peasy. Egg Beaters are made of real eggs, so they’re a gross no-no. But if you pan-fry House Tofu Steak (slice it in half first) and add a little soy butter, salt, pepper, and ketchup, you’ve got yourself a fried “egg.” There’s also an egg substitute in powder form for cooking and baking called Ener-G egg replacer. And many markets sell a pretty good tofu “egg” salad.
    As the demand grows for healthy, yummy, animal-free, dairy-free products, more companies will supply us with these foods. So let your consumer dollars voice your desire, and your body will be rewarded. And don’t be shy. If your grocery store doesn’t carry something you want, open your fat mouth and ask for it.

Chapter 6
    You Are What You Eat
    Now would be a good time to reflect on the old adage, “You are what you eat.” This statement, in all its simplicity, is brilliant. You are what you eat.
    You are a human body comprised of organs, blood and guts, and other shit. The food you put into your body works its way through your organs and bloodstream and is actually part of who you are. So every time you put crap in your body, you are crap.
    If Chapters 2 and 3 didn’t convince you to avoid eating animal products (crap), maybe this will. Even knowing how abysmal the living conditions are for animals on factory farms, you cannot begin to imagine what the slaughter practices are like. “Humane” protocol
