The connections traced between rampant masculinity, misogyny, carnivorism, and militarism operate as powerfully today as when Carol Adams first diagnosed them twenty years ago.

J. M. Coetzee

Adams explores the links between the slaughter of animals and violence directed against women, and ties the carnivorous diet to such patriarchal ideas as 'the end justifies the means.'

Toronto Globe and Mail

Even readers who do not share Adams's views should find themselves challenged and perhaps even enlightened by this unique work.

Library Journal

highly readable, often eye-opening ... Adams' central thesis is compelling.

Times Literary Supplement

The content is compelling and often funny ... The Pornography of Meat will make you think.

Julian Bynoe, Outreach Connection

To say 'I read' this book would be an understatement. It's more like I devoured it faster than my favorite veggie burger ... Adams compellingly illustrates how women and animals are culturally turned into things ... This book would be eye-opening to many, not just feminists and certainly would make readers more savvy of the subtle message behind an advertisement for chicken legs or breasts that is purposefully sexualized.
