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.
