Carnism describes the belief system that eating meat is "normal, natural and necessary." The term was coined by social psychologist Melanie Joy in 2001 and developed in her book Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows: An Introduction to Carnism (2010). Carnism, according to Joy, is a dominant, yet invisible, paradigm. Anthropologist Margo DeMello calls it the "unquestioned default."
Cultural studies researchers Carrie Packwood-Freeman and Oana Leventi Perez offer as an illustration of carnism the National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation, where the American president pardons a symbolic turkey at Thanksgiving.
