Podcast 1266: The Omnivore’s Deception: What We Get Wrong about Meat, Animals, and Ourselves
Update: 2025-10-18
Description
In this podcast, Greg Voisen interviews Dr. John Sanbonmatsu, Professor of Philosophy at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and author of The Omnivore’s Deception: What We Get Wrong about Meat, Animals, and Ourselves.
Together, they explore how our treatment of animals reveals deep moral and existential contradictions at the heart of modern society. Dr. Sanbonmatsu challenges the myths of “humane meat” and “sustainable consumption,” arguing that animal exploitation is one of humanity’s greatest moral failures—intertwined with capitalism, climate change, and the illusion of human supremacy.
Listeners will gain a profound understanding of how compassion, consciousness, and ethical reform can reshape not only our diets but also our civilization’s relationship with life itself.
