My firey friend and macrobiotic chef Christina Pirello has a new book out, I'm Mad As Hell And I'm Not Going to Eat it Anymore. I'm a huge fan of Christina, and I think this book is a good one, with some really helpful info and a great introduction that got me all excited and worked up!

Here are some highlights I found very helpful:

  • The frittata and kale salad are super yum
  • Great details about exactly what is in the stuff we call food, along with great stats
  • Very helpful breakdowns on sugars, sodas, and GMOs
  • Great info for flirts and superheroes alike
  • A handy list of what you should always buy organic and what's ok to get non-organic
  • Info about what's in season when and what's best to eat during each season of year
  • Lots of useful kitchen and cooking techniques


Christina's a smart cookie, and her research is great. Plus, this book is a really enjoyable read! I highly recommend it.

Snag your copy here, and tell me what your favorite aspects of this book are in the comments below! At the end of the month, I'll share your feedback in a blog post, so start reading!

      I just got done reading this book. I loved it. I really loved how it went into depth about the history of where our food has been and all the information about various additives. I also loved her symbolism of cleaning your kitchen and your healthy. Got my kitchen cleaned and in order.


      Great read!

      I just finished reading this as well! Christina is amazing, and I'm so thrilled she's nearby in Philadelphia. I plan to take one of her cooking demo classes as soon as possible. One part of the book that really hit me is when she talks about fast food versions of "healthy" stuff, like McDonald's oatmeal. It's full of additives and all kinds of junk. Yuck. So much better and cheaper to make it at home. This book is a great pick!

      This is a fantastic book. I just finished it and now it is sitting with the rest of my vegan cookbooks. Her recipe for pistachio pesto is delicious...I've already made it twice! If you haven't gotten this book yet you don't want to miss it.
