Packet 2: Bonus 11

The coiner of the name of this ideology argues that its proponents think that a certain action is natural, normal, necessary, and nice, which she calls the “Four Ns.” For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this ideology whose name Melanie Joy popularized in a 2009 book. In this belief system, eating meat is seen as an ethical good and arbitrary species are seen as valid targets for consumption.
ANSWER: carnism [or carnist ideology] (Joy’s book is Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows.)

ANSWER: normative ethics [accept normativity]
