Controversial Book by Jane Velez-Mitchell Says: The Future is Female

The outspoken author of "Addict Nation" believes American women are being "hooked" on everything from shopping to prescription drugs.

In her new book, "Addict Nation-An Intervention for America" (HCI Books, Feb. 2011), author Velez-Mitchell declares, "It's time to take our power back!" She believes Americans have unwittingly become addicted to behaviors that threaten our health and the earth.

According to Velez-Mitchell, women are especially vulnerable to manipulative marketing; persuaded by cosmetic companies to apply more than 100 chemicals to their skin each day, and exposing themselves to toxic cleansers in the home. She believes women should lead the way to a more natural lifestyle that is gentler to the earth by insisting on healthier option and voting with their dollars.

She writes, "Frankly, if we hope to survive as a species, the future better be female ... or at least centered on matriarchal values and respect for women and girls. This is where American women come in. We are the most powerful nation on earth, and about half of our population is female. As Americans who pride ourselves on helping others, we need to get our own 'house in order' so that we may carry the message to others."

Addict Nation (http://www.addictnation.org) tackles the issue of cultural addictions, and promises to shine a light on those who would profit off of our misery. Velez-Mitchell says she's got a blueprint for change, but "first we must see what is really going on. This sounds like an intervention."
