I just got that book too! *grin* ... and certainly plan on sharing my
thoughts with the list. Carol Adams, of course, wrote "The Sexual
Politics of Meat," which is an interesting exploration of how the
consumption of meat is linked to how womyn are viewed.
Hmmmmmmm ... I just realized this post is my de-lurking post!
Who am I? Well, I go by Moonshadow often, am a 40 year old activist
womyn, vegetarian, living near San Francisco in a little rural town
on the ocean. I take my issues passionately; Issues such as saving
the last old growth redwoods (Headwaters), lesbian/gay/bi rights,
third world issues--in Nicaragua particularily, reproductive choice
for womyn, as well as other Peace and Justice issues.
