An Introduction to Carnism."An important and groundbreaking
contribution to the struggle for the welfare of animals." — Yuval
Harari, New York Times best-selling author of Sapiens: A Brief
History of Humankind"An absorbing examination of why humans feel
affection and compassion for certain animals but are callous to the
suffering of others." — Publishers WeeklyWhy We Love Dogs, Eat
Pigs, and Wear Cows offers an absorbing look at what social
psychologist Melanie Joy calls carnism, the belief system that
conditions us to eat certain animals when we would never dream of
eating others. Carnism causes extensive animal suffering and global
injustice, and it drives us to act against our own interests and the
interests of others without fully realizing what we are doing.
Becoming aware of what carnism is and how it functions is vital to
personal empowerment and social transformation, as it enables us to
make our food choices more freely—because without awareness, there
is no free choice.
