Download Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows: An Introduction to Carnism AudioBook Free
In her groundbreaking new booklet, Why We Love Pet dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows, Melanie Delight explores the unseen system that figures our conception of the meats we consume, so that people love some family pets and eat others without knowing why. She telephone calls this technique carnism. Carnism is the opinion system, or ideology, which allows us to selectively choose which family pets become our meats, and it is sustained by complicated psychological and social mechanisms. Like other "isms" (racism, ageism, etc.), carnism is most dangerous when it is unrecognized and unacknowledged. Why We Love Pet dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows names and talks about this phenomenon and offers it up for assessment. Unlike the many books that make clear why we shouldn't eat meats, Joy's book talks about why we do eat meats - and thus how we can make more enlightened choices as people and consumers.
