In this episode, Steph Tai, Professor of Law at the University of Wisconsin Law School, discusses their article "Legalizing the Meaning of Meat," which is published in the Loyola University Chicago Law Journal. Tai begins by explaining the historical development of the meaning of meat, and different kinds of foods that have been considered meat in different places at different times. They continue by describing the current state of meat alternative foods, including plant-based, insect-based, and cultured foods. They outline current efforts to define the meaning of meat legislatively and why those efforts have largely failed. And they reflect on broader philosophical questions on how and why the meaning of the term "meat" matters. Tai is on Twitter at @YoStephTai.
