John Sanbonmatsu, Professor of Philosophy at WPI, has published his third book, The Omnivore’s Deception: What We Get Wrong about Meat, Animals, and Ourselves (New York University Press), about our injustices against other animals. The book offers a wide-ranging critique of the devastating ecological, social, and moral consequences of the animal food system, with special emphasis on the myth of "humane" and "sustainable" animal products. Jeffrey Moussaeif Masson, author of When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Lives of Animals, has described The Omnivore’s Deception as "a work not only of immense moral significance, but a masterpiece."
Professor Sanbonmatsu will give a free book talk and host a signing at Harvard Book Store (1256 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge) Wednesday, June 25, at 7 pm. He will be joined in conversation by Frances Moore Lappé, leading researcher and author in the field of food and democracy policy, and author of Diet for a Small Planet.
More information about the book is here; details about the June 25 event are here.
