The Meat Paradox: A Social Invention of Modern Agriculture

Today we are presenting the second episode in the Meat: the four futures series.

What are your first thoughts when you see a piece of steak on a plate or a big pot of chicken soup - healthy meal? piece of animal flesh? comfort food? 

In this episode we explore how our values, ethics and where we live impacts our relationship with meat and livestock.

We dig into the history of the diet  humans evolved to eat, visit Burkina Faso and India to hear two different solutions to meet the surging demand for meat across the global South, and talk about the ethics of eating animals in the West, where we’re often distant and detached from where meat comes from.
