Product Description:
Is there a blocked vegetarian in your life?
If you are one of the over twenty million Americans who have adopted vegetarianism, you know that living with and eating with meat eaters can present a myriad of difficult issues. Summer barbecues, Thanksgiving dinner, or even a simple business lunch can be cause for discussions questioning vegetarianism as a lifestyle choice—leading at best to awkward situations, and at worst to anger and defensiveness. Beyond these often tense encounters, simple day-to-day tasks like grocery shopping and preparing the evening meal can be tough, especially when your husband, wife, partner, or child doesn’t share your commitment to living as a vegetarian.
In this bold and original book, Carol J. Adams offers real-life advice that vegetarians can use to defuse any situation where their dietary choices may be under attack and suggests viewing meat eaters as blocked vegetarians. Always insightful, this practical guide is full of self-tests, strategies, meditations on vegetarianism, and tips for dining out and entertaining at home when meat eaters are on the invite list. Offering more than fifty of Carol Adams’s favorite vegetarian recipes, Living Among Meat Eaters is sure to become every vegetarian’s most trusted source of support and information.

Many books on the subject of "living among meat eaters" have a hard edge, an "us against them" attitude, and while there is truth to the "us against them" take on it, the perpetuation of that attitude doesn't do "the cause" or ourselves any good. This wonderful book shows us how to be vegetarians/vegans while being kind to ourselves and to those who are still meat-eaters. Also contains recipes and contains pull-out cards to hand out to restaurants encouraging them to serve vegetarian/vegan meals.

A great survival guide for vegetarians feeling alone among animal abusers.
Challenging your normal way of thinking to become less defensive and more compassionate to non vegetarians.

I've been a vegetarian living among meat eaters for the past 14 years now, so I didn't really learn anything new from this book in terms of co-existing peacefully with "the other half." However, I was very pleasantly surprised to find that the back of the book contained a large selection of the author's favorite recipes, complete with stories that go with the recipes and hints to make cooking them easier. Not only have the recipes I've tried from this book produced delicious meals, they also got two very enthusiastic thumbs up from my meat-eating husband! It's a shame that this book is out of print--- for the recipes alone this book belongs in every vegetarian kitchen.
My favorite recipe is the Tofu Cubes from page 255. I put them in pastas, in salads, and I even serve them on their own as a side dish. The recipe calls for powdered vegetarian stock, and I didn't have any on hand so I just used "mushroom seasoning" (a vegetarian seasoning found in Asian food stores) and it worked out just fine. Give it a try!

I had high hopes for this book, but was quickly turned off and ended up returning it to the store. The author's condescending attitude promotes a number of the ideas behind the negative stereotype many people have of vegans today.

Very helpful, in some ways, funny book. Would be a good book for parents of children who want to be vegetarian.
Very comforting to hear from other people all the rude things that meat eaters do say to vegetarians. I mean unless you are a pig farmer what do you care what I eat?
But I admit I have been guilty of describing chicken slaughter to a meat eater who did not want to hear it. But if you are willing to eat it, why are you not willing to hear how it is killed?
