About this episode
Matthew Kessler explores the differing perspectives on meat consumption through personal experiences and expert insights.
Why can reasonable people look at the same evidence on meat—and still eat very differently? Matthew Kessler shares a personal essay reflecting on his time working on livestock farms, conversations with experts across all sides of the issue, and on his own on-and-off relationship with eating animals.
