About the reading:
## Upending the conventional wisdom around meat, The Omnivore's Deception: What We Get Wrong About Meat, Animals, and Ourselves, offers a definitive refutation of the arguments made by Michael Pollan and many others in favor of "enlightened" omnivorism, exposing the fraudulent notion that we can go on raising and killing nonhuman beings for food without wrecking the earth, inflicting terrible suffering on animals, or ruining our souls. The Omnivore's Deception goes beyond previous works on animal ethics and food politics in the scope of its critique, taking readers on a deep dive into the darkest psychological recesses of our cultural obsession with meat, reframing the question of animal agriculture from one of "sustainability" to one of existential and moral purpose, presenting the most powerful case yet for the abolition of all forms of human exploitation of nonhuman animals.
