In The Omnivore’s Deception, author John Sanbonmatsu chronicles the rise of the meat industry, shows its catastrophic ecological effects, demolishes the myth of the “enlightened” omnivore, shows why animals are worthy of our respect, and advocates the abolition of the animal food economy. He edits and curates the website for the “Clean Meat Hoax”-– an informal group of scholar-activists concerned about the ways in which cellular or laboratory-grown meats are being used to attack animal advocacy and to strengthen the meat industry’s long-term strategy of creating a diverse “protein market” that includes meat from live animals. Cellular Meat serves as a distraction from the fundamental issues, papering over the problem of human mass violence against animals, and obscuring the urgent need for a plant-based human diet. 

John is a speaker (Presentation: The Omnivore’s Deception – Veganism in Defense of Terrestrial Life) at the upcoming New England VegFest, Sunday, Apr. 26th, 2 pm, at Worcester State University.
