Summary

When it comes to this narrative about meat, there are three elements that tend to get thrown out there: meat is damaging to our health, it's unethical to eat meat, and meat is injurious to the environment. There are truths and falsehoods to each one of those ideas but once you look closer at the health and environmental parts then the ethical consideration of meat starts getting interesting. It looks like we have a singular tool that could both feed humanity and potentially protect or save us from climate change. - Robb Wolf
