Melanie Joy presents deep thought and a check on our clouded view of reality in the new edition of her book, Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows: an Introduction to Carnism, in which she introduces the concept of carnism & explores the psychological mechanisms that buttress the dysfunctional, arbitrary, and unhealthy way that people decide which animals we eat and which we keep as pets. And the questions are foundational to our lives, explored in further detail in her other books, about empathy, connection, violence, nonviolence, and healthy relationships. With penetrating thought, Melanie draws on her Harvard education, to unravel the twisted web we live within.
