There doesn't seem to be much Joshua Katcher, aka The Discerning Brute, can't do. He's the Founder of luxury vegan menswear brand Brave GentleMan, Co-Founder of a plant-based cheese company, and Author of Fashion Animals: a book that explores 'the visual history and ideology of animals exploited in fashion'.

In this episode, Katcher sits down with Plant Based News' Co-Founder Robbie Lockie to take a look at the fashion industry 'through the lens of carnism'.

"Sometimes being cruel is desirable."
