Dr Melanie Joy spoke on CARNISM at VegfestUK London 2015

In this captivating talk, delivered at the People's Vegan Activists Summit at VegfestUK London 2015, social psychologist DR. MELANIE JOY explains CARNISM, the invisible belief system that shapes our perception of the meat we eat, so that we love some animals and eat others without knowing why. Dr. Joy, a longtime advocate for social and environmental justice and animal protection, describes how carnism is sustained by complex social and psychological mechanisms, and how it is most harmful when unrecognised. Using powerful imagery, thought-­provoking analyses, and a compelling narrative, Dr. Joy elucidates how, although unjust belief systems (racism, sexism, ableism, etc.) all are unique, the mentality that enables such systems is strikingly similar. When unnoticed, these “isms” can cause us to act against our core values, our own interests, and the interests of others. By illuminating carnism, Dr. Joy helps us become more empowered citizens and more active social witnesses. Audiences appreciate her accessible, engaging and levelheaded approach, regardless of their dietary choices. Parental/guardian discretion is advised for younger attendees.
