In honor of Thanksgiving, we’re talking MEAT. This episode starts out with Turkey facts aka an explanation of the gruesome process required to eradicate turkeys when avian flu hits a farm. Then Lucia and Tyler talk about meat and how the history of bringing meat into the US - starting with the colonists - helps explain why Americans are more obsessed with meat than in most other countries. They talk about the Union Stockyards in Chicago, conditions in the modern meatpacking industry, and the environmental footprint of eating meat vs. eating vegan, vegetarian or pescatarian. Tyler even introduces his new character, Mr. Meat. Listen on an empty stomach, or don’t! Depending on how much of a sicko you are!
