Meet Our Featured Visionary!

Writer & Philosopher, JOHN SANBONMATSU

Hello John!

John Sanbonmatsu is Professor of Philosophy at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts.  His most recent book is The Omnivore's Deception:  What We Get Wrong about Meat, Animals, and Ourselves. Here's what one reviewer had to say: 


This is perhaps the single best book ever written about animal suffering and why the world needs to go vegan.


Jeffrey Moussaief Masson, author of When Elephants Weep

SUZANNE'S THOUGHTS ON JOHN'S WORK


This month’s featured visionary is someone I met through a podcast last week: John Sanbonmatsu  He is a professor of philosophy, author of The Omnivore’s Deception, and an unapologetic animal rights advocate. The focus for me is on ‘unapologetic’!


Early in the interview with Rev. Carol Saunders, John remarks on his admiration for Karen Davis - founder of United Poultry Concerns. When explaining why she stood out to him among the many others he admires, he said: ‘She spoke truth to power, was fearless, single minded, and unapologetic’.


Bam, it hit me. Why do I feel apologetic when I eat with family and friends, eschewing chicken, pork, steak, cheese and ice cream? Why do I bow my head silently praying for the lost lives when I want to shout: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!? Why am I not more assertive in my advocacy? Why am I not fearless when I know I have the moral high ground?


The answers to these questions are personal, so irrelevant in this context, however, it was an aha moment for me.  Perhaps it will be for you.


The interview is lengthy, but has many more gems. I took pages of notes while listening. I encourage you to listen. It will inspire, explicate, and educate, even if you are a long time vegan and activist.
