It's a vegan manifesto masquerading as a diet fad. But the only thing this weight-loss book will help you lose is self-esteem.

    I'm kind of appalled that salon takes articles from comic hacks who are terrible writers, and glaring self-promoters. she's not interested in writing- she's reviewed a hugely popular book, that's not worth the trees killed to print it, in order to gain notoriety for herself. i wouldn't have googled this klausner if not for the fact that one letter writer called her fat and i just felt like checking. But she (JK) is an obvious self-promoter and this superficial rant, this useless screed, this unoriginal rip off that she's published in salon does nothing for anyone. it is not intellectual, it is not enlightening. it is unoriginal. it is the kind of thing that reminds me NEVER to pay for reading salon, even if they will give it to you for free if you send yourself $40 flowers. i thought about that one, and this kind of mind-eroding tabloid essay reminds me not to waver in my conviction that salon is not worth a cent! it's just wrong to publish this douche, period.

    and klausner? i'm fairly certain paglia would find your piece extremely tiresome, like i did. Paglia actually has an original idea once in a while. try going for that!!!!!!!!!
