Humane Hoax: The Myth of Happy Meat

We now see labels like cage-free eggs, family-farmed dairy, and grass-fed meat. But what do the labels really mean? Is free-range better for the environment? Is organic more humane?

To answer these questions, author and activist Hope Bohanec will discuss her new edited volume “The Humane Hoax: Essays Exposing the Myth of Happy Meat, Humane Dairy, and Ethical Eggs.” Hope will examine the new trend of humanewashing and greenwashing in animal product marketing—and what we can do to combat it.

ABOUT HOPE’S BOOK:

“The Humane Hoax: Essays Exposing the Myth of Happy Meat, Humane Dairy, and Ethical Eggs” is a new volume that explores the timely topics of humanewashing, greenwashing, animal product marketing, language, and labels. Eighteen contributing authors expose how so-called alternative animal agriculture intersects with feminism, affects the environment, is represented in the media, and impacts human and non-human communities alike. This anthology has essays from noted animal and environmental advocates including Carol Adams, Karen Davis, Alastor Van Kleeck, Sailesh Rao, John Sanbonmatsu, and Christopher Soul Eubanks. All proceeds of the sale of the book go to Compassionate Living.
