Episode notes

How many chickens are on planet Earth? It's about 90 billion, at least I've seen. The total biomass of the chickens is more than the total biomass of every other animal, human, and other non-human animals combined. There was an article that said what would be our defining feature? A chicken poop. Someone suggested chicken buns. We hope we're known for a little bit more than that.

In this episode, Peter and Josh, CEO of GOOD Meat, delve into the revolutionary concept of producing meat without slaughtering a single animal. The conversation explores the journey of GOOD Meat, from its inception in a studio apartment to its current expansive headquarters in Alameda, California. Tetrick's vision is to transform the global food system, reducing harm to animals and the environment while providing consumers with a sustainable and ethical alternative to conventionally produced meat.
