Men, Beef and a Climate Solution

Julia Simon, NPR's Climate Solutions reporter, dives into the intricate connection between beef consumption and climate change. She reveals how societal norms link masculinity to meat-eating, with men disproportionately contributing to beef consumption. The discussion examines the environmental impact of this habit, particularly methane emissions. Simon champions the potential for climate action through reduced beef intake, while unpacking the rise of 'meatfluencers' and the cultural hurdles men face in embracing plant-based diets. It's a thoughtful exploration of identity, food choices, and sustainability.
