Synopsis "Why we Love Dogs, eat Pigs and Wear Cows: An Introduction to Carnism 10Th Anniversary Edition, With a new Afterword (in English)"

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.
