Totally obsessed with HungryGirl

[Zen]

I gotta say this.

i like the premise but why hungryGIRL?
I'm not even gonna go into 'girl' territory)
Doesn't this reinforce the stereotype of women being obsessed with losing weight and that we should be? As if to devalue a woman who doesn't look like a magazine model?
Other stereotypes come to mind too but I'll just make this a small rant for now

The 200 would be a fine title and would let a guy buy the book too.

The title is marketing garbage I say. They're probably trying to appeal to a subset of my generation. It personally doesn't bother me, but I know a few who might be irked by it.

Sam, you need to send me some recipes

TOTALLY DOESN'T BOTHER ME. I don't look like the girls in the magazine. In fact, I am a size 16-18. The title is based on the nickname of the author who is dubbed HungryGirl...Not that we are all HungryGirls. Check out the book...and then you'll understand.
