Living Among Meat Eaters

Is there a blocked vegetarian in your life?
In this second edition of her bold and original book, Carol J. Adams offers real-life advice that vegetarians and vegans can use to defuse any situation where their food choices come under attack. She suggests viewing meat eaters as blocked, and their responses to vegans and vegetarians as signs of what keeps them from changing. The book provides strategies for conversations, insights into hostile behavior, and tips for dining out and entertaining at home among meat eaters, who Adams points out are perfectly happy eating vegan food as long as they don't know that is what they are doing.
This edition features a new preface, a new chapter addressing living among meat eaters online, many new recipes, and revisions throughout to reflect the changes in society since the book was first published in 2001, making this much-loved guide more relevant than ever. As well as being a source of support and information, Living Among Meat Eaters contains more than 50 of Carol's favorite recipes.

Carol J. Adams is the author of numerous books including her germinal The Sexual Politics of Meat, as well as Burger, Protest Kitchen, The Pornography of Meat, and others. She is the co-editor of several anthologies on feminist theory and animals. She has been an activist against domestic violence, racism, and homelessness, and for reproductive justice and fair housing practices. A new generation of feminists, artists, and activists respond to her work in Defiant Daughters: 21 Women on Art, Activism, Animals, and The Sexual Politics of Meat and The Art of the Animal: 14 Women Artists Explore The Sexual Politics of Meat. www.caroljadams.com
