Carol J. Adams je feministická vegetariánská teoretička, jejíž díla zkoumají propojení ekofeminismu s útlakem zvířat a genderovou nerovností. Její práce se hluboce zabývá tím, jak jsou tyto formy útlaku vzájemně propojeny a jak se odrážejí v naší společnosti. Adams nabízí pronikavý pohled na to, jak lze zpochybnit a přetvořit patriarchální struktury, které udržují jak genderovou, tak druhovou nadvládu. Její psaní je výzvou k zamyšlení nad našimi vztahy ke zvířatům a k budování spravedlivějšího světa pro všechny.

Die bekannte amerikanische Autorin Carol J. Adams, die in den neunziger Jahren die feministisch-vegetarische Theorie entwickelt hat, bietet in diesem Buch VegetarierInnen und VeganerInnen Lebenshilfe für den Alltag. Menschen, die kein Fleisch essen, stoßen oft auf Unverständnis oder werden als verschroben hingestellt, sie werden von ihren Mitmenschen zum Fleischessen gedrängt oder lächerlich gemacht. Wie geht man mit diesen Vorwürfen, Witzen, verständnislosen Fragen oder Sticheleien konstruktiv um? Wie kann man vegetarisch oder vegan leben und trotzdem mit den Mitmenschen auskommen? Carol J. Adams schlägt zum Beispiel vor, FleischesserInnen als verhinderte VegetarierInnen zu sehen. Sie bietet in diesem Band eine Fülle wertvoller Informationen und Anregungen und nicht zuletzt mehr als fünfzig ihrer Lieblingsrezepte. Die Autorin geht vollkommen selbstverständlich davon aus, dass Vegetarismus und Veganismus sinnvolle ethische Lebenseinstellungen sind, und zeigt, wie man sinnlose Diskussionen vermeidet und nicht die Initiative verliert, sich nicht ins Bockshorn jagen lässt und Nicht-Fleischessen als attraktive Alternative vertritt.
