《盲目的肉食主義：我們愛狗卻吃豬、穿牛皮？》（Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows）是美國社會心理學者梅樂妮·喬伊於2009年出版的著作，內容在講述信念體系與肉食心理學，或稱「肉食主義」[1]。2001年，喬伊發明肉食主義一詞，並在2003年撰寫的博士論文中進一步發展此概念[2][3]。肉食主義隸屬於物種歧視之下[3]:9–12，恰與道德上的純素主義形成對比。純素主義是指在道德上努力不去食用或使用肉品和其他的動物產品。

Empirical data may support the claim that carnism violates core values. For slaughterhouse workers in particular, see Dillard, J. (2008). A Slaughterhouse Nightmare: Psychological Harm Suffered by Slaughterhouse Employees and the Possibility of Redress through Legal Reform. Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law & Policy 15(2). "[Slaughterhouse] work violates the natural tendency of a person to avoid the direct killing of an animal. One study found that 85% of the meat-eating participants stated that they could not kill an animal to obtain meat. This overwhelmingly common aversion to killing suggests that the slaughterhouse employment causes a majority of the employees to violate their natural preference against killing. By habitually violating one's natural preference against killing, the worker very likely is adversely psychologically impacted."
