Meatless Mouthful–“Sexual Politics Of Meat” Author On Going Veg
Written by Vegetarian Star on December 3rd, 2010 in Authors, Food & Drink, Meatless Mouthful.
“That night I bit into a hamburger. Suddenly, I stopped. I thought, ‘I am eating a dead cow.’ I saw the same thing differently.”
—Carol J. Adams, feminist and author of The Sexual Politics of Meat, a book that links a meat-eating culture to the sexualization, discrimination and inapproriate treatment of women. Adams had this moment that made her rethink eating animal flesh shortly after her pet pony was shot to death.

I just got this book and I’m about to start reading it as soon as I finish the one I’m currently reading which also about animal rights. Animal rights really is linked with all other equal rights movements.

The author of this book is not a vegetarian, however, it is an excellent look at the meanings of meat in our culture. A very thoughtful critique.
