"Very insightful." —Richard Carlson, author of Don't Sweat the
Small Stuff
"When my daughter announced (very dramatically, I might add) at the
age of 12 that she was becoming a vegetarian, I had many of the
emotional, practical, and conflicting thoughts that Adams so deftly
addresses in Help! My Child Stopped Eating Meat!...The transition
would have been much easier with these two thoughtful books [Help!
My Child Stopped Eating Meat! and Living Among Meat Eaters] as our
guide...As a non-vegetarian, Living Among Meat Eaters gave me a
new-found respect for the tribulations that vegetarians go
through...[it] doesn't preach, but it does tell vegetarians how to
wean others to their cause—or even entertain them for dinner—by
introducing vegetarian foods in meat-eater language." -Audubon
Naturalist News, July/August 2004

"Adams offers practical tips for sanely discussing vegetarianism
with children, asking them to help plan and prepare meals to
include vegetarian choices. The book's alphabetical format makes it
an excellent reference for parents...Highly recommended for public
libraries." -Library Journal
