Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows: An Introduction to Carnism

I read this book during a timeframe when I used to travel extensively - still mindful of reading books (thankfully), but a tad mindless of food that I used to shovel into my mouth on the plane, at the airport or restaurants. This book was quite impactful to such an extent that I changed my behaviour in terms of becoming more mindful of meat dishes that I choose to eat. For instance, I could no longer accept chicken wraps on the plane or foie gras at restaurants. I became more observant of where I consume food. I stopped eating at certain places that were not in consonance with laws and regulations of animal rights. If you’re looking to get a deep insight into the meat industry, read this book. You may find some passages stressful and disturbing, but coping exactly with these emotions helped me become more mindful of my meat consumption. A compelling book, triggering the urgency to intrinsically change something with the goal of transforming lives.
