Challenging Norms: Lee Davy on Alcoholism and Carnism

The real reason why we drink alcohol is we don't really think about it. The same goes for why we eat meat. Thus, one cannot help but wonder why all the acrobatics? Carnism is a house of cards, a fractured and fragmented system that needs a strong fortress to protect itself from its very own proponents, us.
Why do we see drinking alcohol as normal and pleasurable, yet view sobriety as a sign of insanity? In this thought-provoking episode of the '1000 Days Sober Podcast', Lee Davy tackles this very question. With his signature blend of wit and wisdom, Davy delves into the absurdity of societal norms surrounding both alcohol and meat consumption. He argues that these behaviors, often seen as standard, are riddled with irrational beliefs and hidden violence. Davy doesn't just stop at alcohol.
He draws parallels between alcoholism and carnism, the belief system that justifies eating meat without considering the suffering it entails. He calls carnism a 'house of cards'—a fragile system propped up by ignorance and denial. By examining these belief systems, Davy invites listeners to rethink what they consider 'normal'. Throughout the episode, Davy shares personal stories and reflections that make these complex topics relatable. He also discusses the concept of the 'red road vs.
the black road', illustrating how choosing a more challenging but meaningful path can lead to a fulfilling life. His raw honesty and engaging storytelling provide a fresh perspective on breaking free from harmful habits and societal pressures. If you're curious about how to challenge ingrained beliefs and live a more conscious life, this episode is for you.
Tune in to hear Davy's insights on the invisible forces that shape our choices and how to navigate them for a healthier, happier existence.
