Media Reviews
Living among Meat Eaters is frankly entertaining--in some parts literally laugh-out-loud funny. This is the book we've been waiting for to finally make sense of all the hostility.
Written for people everywhere who have adopted a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, Living Among Meat Eaters: The Vegetarian s Survival Handbook by dedicated vegetarian Carol J. Adams is a very practical guide filled from cover to cover with thematically appropriate discussions of common issues facing vegetarians living in a meat-eating world Living Among Meat Eaters is a superbly presented, down-to-earth, user-friendly, and thoroughly enjoyable compendium of tips, techniques and social advice for the committed vegetarian.

When my daughter announced (very dramatically, I might add) at the age of 12 that she was becoming a vegetarian, I had many of the emotional, practical, and conflicting thoughts that Adams so deftly addresses in Help! My Child Stopped Eating Meat! The transition would have been much easier with these two thoughtful books [Help! My Child Stopped Eating Meat! and Living Among Meat Eaters] as our guide As a non-vegetarian, Living Among Meat Eaters gave me a new-found respect for the tribulations that vegetarians go through [it] doesn t preach, but it does tell vegetarians how to wean others to their cause or even entertain them for dinner by introducing vegetarian foods in meat-eater language.

Vegetarians often get defensive and feel under siege when coworkers, parents, siblings, and friends challenge their selective eating practices. For them, Carol J. Adams's Living among Meat Eaters may prove a real gift. Adams shows how using humor, being patient, and accepting the fact that general society values eating meat can deflect pointless arguing and begin to raise the consciousness of others. - Booklist
