Eat This Podcast: We need to talk about meat

Hello

Meat exercises the imagination in a way no other food can match.

Some people have always wanted to ban carnivory. For others it is an essential fuel. And now, meat is central to nutrition, sustainability, health and capitalism. What does meat mean?

I know where I personally stand, but I also want to try and understand why it is that people feel so much more strongly about meat than about any other element of the diet. Luckily I met Francesco Buscemi last year. He’s been research the cultural history of meat, and we had a great conversation about just that.

Take a listen.

All the best
