Even if you can't make it in person, you can participate in the discussion questions we will post here on Meetup. https://www.meetup.com/Puget-Sound-Vegans/events/261377357/ Our book will be "Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows: An Introduction to Carnism" By Melanie Joy PhD. https://www.amazon.com/Love-Dogs-Pigs-Wear-Cows/dp/1573245054/?tag=beyondcarnism-20 "Soon to be published in its twelfth language, Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows — the first book to introduce the concept of carnism — has received international acclaim. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Melanie Joy explores carnism, the invisible belief system that shapes our perception of the meat, eggs, and dairy we eat, so that we love some animals and eat others without knowing why. Carnism is sustained by complex psychological and social mechanisms that cause us to unknowingly act against our core values, our own interests, and the interests of others. Like other “isms” (racism, sexism, etc.), carnism is most harmful when it is unrecognized. Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows names and explains this phenomenon and offers it up for examination. Unlike the many books that explain why we shouldn’t eat meat, Joy’s book explains why we do eat meat – and therefore how we can make more informed choices as citizens and consumers." www.carnism.org/book See more details •	30 Vegan Outreach at Pr… Vegan Outreach at Pride Festival June 30, 2019 @ 11:30 am - 2:30 pm Seattle Center Skatepark, 305 Harrison St, Seattle, WA 98109, USA NARN is offering up vegan info to the crowds that come to the gloriously upbeat, happy event that is Seattle Pridefest.
