Interview and Book Reading with Omnivore’s Deception Author John Sanbonmatsu, PhD

For Activist Appreciation Month, John Sanbonmatsu will talk about his new book, "The Omnivore's Deception," a deeply observed philosophical meditation on the nature of our relationship with animals. Peeling back the myriad layers of myth, falsehoods, and bad faith that keep us eating meat, the book offers a novel perspective on our troubled relations with animals in the food economy. The problem with raising and killing animals for food isn't just that it's "bad for the environment,” but the wrong way to live a human life. John will read passages from his chapters on slavery, Michael Pollan, and "femivorism."
