Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows
Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows: An Introduction to Carnism | Melanie Joy
38 posts | 17 read | 49 to read
In this paperback edition is a foreword by activist and author John Robbins and a readers group study guide. This ground-breaking work, voted one of the top ten books of 2010 by VegNews Magazine, offers an absorbing look at why and how humans can so wholeheartedly devote ourselves to certain animals and then allow others to suffer needlessly, especially those slaughtered for our consumption. Social psychologist Melanie Joy explores the many ways we numb ourselves and disconnect from our natural empathy for farmed animals. She coins the term "carnism" to describe the belief system that has conditioned us to eat certain animals and not others. In Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows Joy investigates factory farming, exposing how cruelly the animals are treated, the hazards that meatpacking workers face, and the environmental impact of raising 10 billion animals for food each year. Controversial and challenging, this book will change the way you think about food forever.

#getmovin #no it has been a couple of weeks sinse I finished this book & I still haven‘t returned to eating meat .....

TrishB A book with an impact. It was a documentary on the meat industry that did it for me, just couldn‘t file it away in my brain and ignore 😔 6y
Cathythoughts @TrishB yes definitely an impact. All angles were covered... it‘s hard to stay in denial after reading it. 6y

Cathythoughts @SandyW yes sometimes something just gets to us & really is life changing. 👍🏻👍🏻❤️ 6y
laurieluna Go Cathy! 🙌 I watched some documentaries on netflix. Was vegan for a year but reverted back to pescatarian. I have stopped eating fish again though and hope it start cutting back on my dairy consumption as well. 6y
Cathythoughts @miralunasbooknook thankyou Laurie, at the moment it‘s easy ... I have no interest in any meat or fish. It helps that I love tofu ... but thanks for the encouragement 👍🏻I‘ll keep you posted . We can do it ❤️ (edited) 6y

This is a very upsetting, and important book. I‘m not a vegetarian , but I do buy locally sourced meats at our open market. So I‘m trusting these animals are treated humanely by our local farmers. Still, I won‘t be eating any meat for awhile after this read & will rethink my position...as soon as I write my thoughts in the journal I‘ll be sending on this book to Perth, Scotland. #nonfictiontravellingbook @Teakillamockingbird

😢 This is such an important read. We are never neutral in our decisions. We all choose a side when it comes to this issue. Everything we do in life is an ideology, some just followed by a larger group of people. If you want to know where your food comes from and why you feel certain ways towards certain animals, read this. #nonfictiontravellingbook

dariazeoli Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I so agree! I just sent you an email with @Cathythoughts address and CC‘d her. Sorry for not doing that sooner! 7y

@dariazeoli @TrishB #nonfictiontravellingbook has arrived safely! Thanks. Anxious about this read, but glad to take part. I haven't eaten meat (read chicken, pigs, cows) for 6/7 years now, but have jumped between veggie, vegan and pescatarian during that time. Wondering where this book will take me on my journey.

TrishB It is a difficult read but thought provoking. Glad it arrived safely! The bookmark is for you 😁 7y
laurieluna @TrishB aww thanks 😄 I read the foreword and my eyes were filling up. Think it's going to have to be read when the little ones are asleep. Shall read everyone elses thoughts once I've read it. 7y

Tough read. I don‘t think I‘m specifically the audience, already being vegetarian, but still interesting. The meat industry was one of the main reasons I fell completely over the fence into vegetarianism. As I read for #travellingnonfiction my full thoughts and musings will be in the notebook!

SandyW Watching "Earthlings" did it for me. 7y

Reading as part of #nonfictiontravellingbook
Not sure I can finish, stomach churning and have already cried once in first 50 pages. I haven‘t eaten meat for 33 years! And very sporadically from age 9 -18

laurieluna Sporadic for me too, no meat for 6 years now though, and was Vegan for a year. Still eat fish now occasionally, but thinking of stopping that again too. Looking forward to reading this. 7y
Cinfhen Oh wow....that‘s a long time...33 years!!!! 7y
TrishB @miralunasbooknook I don‘t know if looking forward is the right phrase! But it‘s very interesting. I will need a book that has no animals in it next!! 7y

laurieluna @TrishB yeah, probably not 🙈 it will certainly be an eye opening read! X 7y
TrishB @Cinfhen 18 when I gave it up completely! The 80s were not easy times for vege‘s 😁😁 7y
Cinfhen So true...you‘re always an original 😘😘😘 7y
rockpools @TrishB 80s veggi-ness 😝I lived on cheese puffs & chips through school. With the occasional baked bean to make sure I had the full range of nutrition. Not sure I could read this though. 7y
TrishB @RachelO space raiders and Bounty‘s for me! With Iceland pizzas and of course beans - on toast or jacket potatoes!! It‘s a difficult read. 7y
Lindy Hugs from another vegetarian. I haven‘t eaten meat since I left home and my family‘s farm when I was 17. 7y
dariazeoli Sorry - I know it‘s a rough read! I‘m so curious to read the traveling notebook when it returns to me this fall. I hope it gave everyone some food for thought 7y
TrishB @Lindy @dariazeoli nothing is particularly new to me, just 💔 7y
Blaire Those books are tough to read. As a 20 year vegetarian I‘ve tried to get my meat eating husband to read eating animals. Heart-breaking. 7y
laurieluna About 50 pages in and struggling. The quotes from slaughterhouse workers are terrifying. 😢 7y
TrishB @miralunasbooknook it‘s very tough. I must admit I skim read a lot of those passages. After reading one - you get the gist. 💔😢 7y

This book is enlightening. The author defines the system of Carnism, which is a set of beliefs & attitudes that mistakenly view eating meat as normal, natural, & necessary. The author does an excellent job encouraging us to make positive choices in how we view and treat animals.

I took this photo earlier today at a restaurant. I imagine that if dinosaurs were still around we may find a way to eat them, too.

“The most effective way to distort reality is to deny it; if we tell ourselves there isn‘t a problem, then we never have to worry about what to do about it. And the most effective way to deny a reality is to make it invisible. As we‘ve discussed, invisibility is the bulwark of the carnistic system.”

Our #nonfictiontravellingbook is halfway through Round One! I‘m thinking a lot about its premise this week as we head into a holiday steeped in tradition that involves the killing of millions of birds.

I‘ll be celebrating my eighth veganniversary this Thursday. I lay low when it comes to social media, choosing to remember the turkeys I‘ve met and avoid images of the bodies of those like them on the table.

I‘m grateful for the paradigm shifting

I hope these facts become widely known and make people think about where their food comes from. Keep watch on @dariazeoli 's feed if you want to participate in the traveling read!

I received our #nonfictiontravellingbook today and dug in. It was hard going and I did have to put it down a few times. I became very emotional. I have struggled with my actions when it comes to eating meat, or not eating meat. This book helped me and I hope it continues to help me align my actions and values better.

My girls approved of this book and think we should all read it. #catsoflitsy

If you... bought a package of cigars, you would notice that it carries a label warning of the potential dangers of cigar smoke. Yet research suggests that cigar smoking poses a hazard only to...less than 1 percent of the adult population. More than 97 percent of American adults,however,eat animal foods, and despite much research demonstrating the connection between the consumption of animal products and disease, we are not warned of these dangers.
