The "Scare You Into Not Eating" Diet

I am feeling way too oogied-out lately about eating meat, poultry and dairy. I used to live in a happy little bubble and then I came across a book I never should have read. It's a diet book, and from what I see it really works. It works because the authors scare the bejesus out of women by telling them not only what is IN the food they eat, but how that food is processed. Worked for me, dang-it. And I don't want to be a vegetarian. I love cows. *sigh* Anyhow, I think for the whole weight loss idea to work, you are not supposed to supplant the meat and dairy with pecan pie. So I'm totally screwed here.
