1 Finally, A Diet Book We Can Enjoy!
This book is pure genius! Mr. Bailey does a masterful job of turning the entire diet craze inside out and he does so in such an entertaining way.
I am very thankful for him and his humor. To those who think he he has gone too far, lighten up for crying out loud.
Settle in with a bag of chips, some french onion dip, a coke and a box of tissue. Between bites you will be dabbing your eyes because you will be laughing so hard.
Thank you for the North Beach Diet!
2 A Bad Joke Gone Too Far
With the onslaught of low-carb diet books, a backlash was bound to happen. But the timing of this parody of "The South Beach Diet" is questionable, not to mention irresponsible and, if people don't get the joke, dangerous. There's only one joke at that and it's overextended, with emphasis on a regimen of high-fat, high-carb junk food; some choice "motivational" messages include "Desserts: Stressed spelled backward," "Always use food as an emotional outlet" and "Indulge your children's food consumption - they know best." While the book may be good for a quick laugh, it does it at the expense of America's obesity epidemic, which has been at critical mass for some time. And unlike humor books that can be read and enjoyed for the time being, this includes real recipes, encouraging people to get up and actually make beer-battered deep-fried Snickers bars; potato chip and Miracle Whip sandwiches; double-sucked-and-filled jelly doughnuts, which suggests removing the jelly and filling the pastry with ice cream; and the triple-decker Mama Cass Elliot ham sandwich.To say this "Diet" is in bad taste doesn't even come close, especially when $12.99 can buy a good pedometer instead.
