living among meat eaters- Carol J. Adams

[Guest guest]

howdy, all!

i just picked up " living with meat eaters " by carol j. adams and spent a

*lively* Friday night reading it

from cover to cover while my boyfriend's band rocked the house for hours...

anyway, it's a great book.

for those of you not familiar with carol j. adams, she has composed many books

on the subject of

vegetarianism, mostly incorporating the feminist movement into the theme. ( The

Sexual Politics of

Meat: A feminist-vegetarian critical theory; Neither Man nor Beast: Feminism and

the Defense of

animals)

 

Living with meat eaters goes though step by step on how to deal with the folks

most important to you,

parents, family, friends, lovers, who may challenge your decision to be a

vegetarian, as well as the

random acquaintance who thrusts meat into your face and says " mmmm, yummm! don't

you want a

bite

of dead flesh? "

Having been in a relationship for a very long time with an omnivore, and not

having anyone in my

family begin to understand how i could pass up Grandma's green beans with bacon,

this book is a bit

or reassurance that i am not strange, nor crazy, nor have an eating disorder

;-)

 

Pick it up, if you have a chance.

cheers

I'd like to second this recommendation - Carol Adams has written a great

book. I'm so glad that I purchased this book, as it has given me some good

cheap therapy for living among meat eaters.
