Well researched and explicated theory.

I finished this book quickly. I didn't know what to expect when I started, but it was really enjoyable. I like how the book was structured. Each idea flowed into the next. very easy to understand the author's perspective.

Thought provoking deep look into meat "traditions"

I was expecting a paradigm challenging deep dive into traditions and the patriarchy, this was so much more than that. It exceeded my expectations. Carol Adams takes a scholarly view into western society's views on women and how they tie into our habits. Her personal observations and journey told through sections of the book at a personal touch. A very enjoyable listen (or read).

Pretty good

First book I’ve read with a feminist lens analyzing society. Pretty neat I learned a lot.

An incredible collection of thoughts

A brilliant collection of mind opening and life changing ideas, well articulated and digestible, even if challenging and alarming. Listen to this with an open mind and your life will never be the same.

Life interupting illumination

Like the realization of class solidarity. This is a shift inducing collection of observations skillfully sewed together. This read dismantles another division; between our non human cohabitants & us as female humans. Highlighting our shared fate of oppression by the sadistic grasp of misogynistic objectification and commoditization.

Eye Opening

This book made me want to become a vegan. I will be working my way there this summer. This book has opened my eyes so that I see the sexual politics of meat everywhere. I saw it in New Girl when Nick Miller and Schmitt start talking about meat to reclaim their masculinity after having a very deep conversation. I saw it in But I’m a Cheerleader when Megan is suspected of being a lesbian by her parents because of her vegetarianism. I hope to make more connections in the future and add to the ever growing vault of examples proving Carol J Adam’s theory. This is a must-read for feminists everywhere.
