Melanie Joy, Ph.D., Ed.M., author of the acclaimed book titled Why
We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows: An Introduction to Carnism,
writes a fantastic piece about the need to address the eating of animals
as a social justice issue. Dr. Joy emphasizes that carnism is a violent
ideology, heavily influenced by culture, and fueled by justification and
denial.

Agribusiness counts on people’s state of denial and their ability to
rationalize almost anything. Exploiting God’s animals for food indeed
falls into the social justice category, because irrespective of ethnic
origin, gender, possessions, race, religion, species, etc., all sentient
beings should be treated equally and without prejudice. Sadly, God’s
farmed animals are routinely exploited relentlessly and unnecessarily.
