Hippos Eat Grass is a witty, thought provoking, informative and surprising book that will change the way you see yourself and show the world that EVERYONE, no matter their shape or size, can truly be happy, inspired and successful. Just like the animal kingdom people are created differently. It is this variety that ensures that each person is unique and our world remains interesting and diverse. The pressure to conform to an unrealistic thin stereotype has caused people to become depressed, demoralized and diminished. This must stop. Size is one of the most blatant forms of discrimination that exists in our society today. Large people have become invisible yet they are among the most beautiful people on the planet. We are fed the myth that size is determined by diet and exercise but in reality we are much more a product of genetics, metabolism and astrological patterns. We are exactly as we were intended and perfect just as we are. At OUR best. Hippos Eat Grass is not a diet book but rather one of self acceptance, inspiration and understanding. We must love ourselves and appreciate our own inner and outer beauty, as well as that of others. It is time to revel in that beauty, whatever shape that may be. So for all those stunning, sexy, cuddly, curvaceous, generous-sized people who love how they look, or could learn to do, this book is for you.
