This video features Andrew Cohen interviewing Dr. Melanie Joy, author of Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows about her pioneering research into the deeper cultural and psychological dimensions of our food choices. In her groundbreaking book, Dr. Joy explores the invisible system that shapes our perception of the meat we eat, so that we love some animals and eat others without knowing why. She calls this system "carnism," which she defines as the belief system, or ideology, that allows us to eat some animals while having deep and loving relationships with others.
Instead of making a case for why we should not eat meat, Joy's work seeks to explain why we do eat meat -- and thus how we can make more informed choices as citizens and consumers.
Whatever your culinary habits, this interview will definitely offer a lot of "food for thought!"Andrew Cohen: The Evolution of Enlightenment (2006)Evolutionary Enlightenment2012-08-28 | A classic video from Andrew Cohen about the evolution of enlightenment.

"When we awaken to the evolutionary impulse,
we realize a completely new relationship to
what it means to be alive and what it means to
be ourselves here and now. Not only do we
discover a freedom to be ourselves that we've
never known before, but even more importantly
we find a reason for living with intense
commitment and liberated passion that gives us
an incomparable sense of personal,
philosophical, and spiritual self-confidence. We
suddenly begin to understand, in ways that both
include and transcend our intellect, that the
reason we are here on Earth (once all of our
basic survival needs have been met) is not
merely to experience security, comfort,
pleasure, or even peace of mind but to develop.
We realize that we are here to consciously
evolve, to intentionally do anything and
everything we can to unleash all of the
extraordinary creative potential within so that
the human race's next step can, in some small
but not insignificant way, emerge through us."
