About this listen

An Introduction to Carnism

Why 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.

Life changing read even For educated vegans, and I imagine more so for non vegans should they give it a chance. Can’t express the inspiration this book has given me to continue to advocate in the best way possible for the animals and the planet.

This book is packed with important information around veganism. It discusses so many different important topics and there’s it includes resources. The audiobook is good too and easy to listen. Will listen to it again every now and then.

One of the best ones on veganism

One of the best audiobooks I have listened to. We are shielded from the sickening truth about modern day mega factory farming and the unimaginable cruelty inflicted on animals we murder. I’m not a vegan but will definitely be cutting down heavily on meat consumption and only buying Free Range Organic from now on. Kind of life changing. A must read unless you want to remain ignorant of the truth!

Eye Opening & Impactful
