About this listen

Wrestling with your conscience when you have a burger? Concerned that you should switch to almond milk lattes? Rachel Khoo is worried too. The chef and broadcaster trained in French cuisine and her career has been built on the motto: “Butter makes everything better. But all this talk about veganism has started getting to her. Should she change her cooking, her eating and her lifestyle to stop global warming?

Khoo meets farmers, activists, chefs and academics to ask whether beef and dairy really need to die in order for the planet to live, and whether she needs to go vegan to do her bit for the planet. She marches through the battle lines - vegan versus meat eater; plants versus cows; farmers versus the world - to sift truth from propaganda. Khoo sees big corporations pulling the strings in our global food system, which makes her wonder how responsibility for this problem has ended up in the kitchen of time-and-cash-strapped families.

Join this carnivore in crisis as she journeys through the facts and fury of the vegan debate.

To find out if a switch to veganism can really slow global warming, Rachel meets the devoted animal campaigners fueling the fight... Will they convince her to go vegan to help save the planet?

I don't think ithis read will persuade me to become a vegan but it has certainly made me think about where my meat comes from how it's produced.
I certainly would be fine about eating 'fake'/lab produced meat and and it is definitely something that should be at the top of every country's to-do /change list..... fascinating about how it's all a cows fault😯

Interesting insight

As a consumer that likes food from animals but is often thinking about the effects on the planet this was so interesting, it shares so many great sides to the story showing there's so much more to consider and that a love of food and the planet are high up if not at the top of the list. Well worth a listen.

Seriously so awesome!

Open-minded, well researched, so interesting, so much more to think about than we hear from the loudest voices. As a doctor I have seen too many unwell vegans, but as someone who has cared about the environment for 50 years(yes there are many of us older people who have!) I am very concerned about animal husbandry and food miles, the latter being a big issue even for virtuous vegans. Rachel Khoo is very personable, a great interviewer and presenter, able to voice certainly my dilemmas on this subject, and I was also influenced by a wonderful grandma! I especially loved the Maori farmer.

so worth hearing

they missed out palm oil in vegan food, but pritty much got the rest. people love a good side to be on. I'm always being told to get off the fence, (or better still, up a tree in a lush wide hedge; full of native wildlife) but from up here i can see both sides really well, and neither of you are completly right or completly wrong. so now we're going to be working together. lets start campigning to get meat labeling to say how the animal is raised in what farm system. so those of us with the privalage to be able to aford the choice, can make it.

finaly a full opinion, not half extremes.
