About this listen

Wendy and Stuart meet Dr. Melanie Joy, a Harvard-educated psychologist and pioneering thought leader in the psychology of eating animals and social transformation. She coined the term "carnism" - the invisible belief system conditioning people to eat certain animals – and is the founding president of the organisation Beyond Carnism.
