Loving Hut Restaurant, Friday, March 18, 2011 at 5:30pm
Melanie Joy discusses Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows: An Introduction to Carnism.
Dr. Joy will discuss carnism, the invisible belief system that shapes our perception of the meat we eat, and explain why we love some animals and eat or otherwise mistreat others. She will explore how carnism, like other -isms (sexism, racism, etc.), is most harmful when it is unrecognized, and will illustrate how it is sustained by complex, hidden social and psychological mechanisms. Joy will describe the ways in which carnism conditions us to act, unknowingly, against our core values, our own interests, and the interests of others. By exposing the usually invisible mechanisms of carnism, Dr. Joy seeks to help people become more informed consumers and more enlightened citizens. The event is sponsored by Florida Voices for Animals, PO Box 17523, Tampa, FL 33682; 727) 656-8368. A vegan buffet ($13.95) will be served from 5:30 to 7:00, after which Dr. Joy will speak.
