In this episode of VeganSci, we update you with some Quick Science, including: a close look at the highly publicised chimera pigs paper, a new take on the evolution of human language, the promise of B12 fortified toothpaste, and consumer’s understanding of meat-based proteins impact on the environment.
We get stuck in-depth on a paper that evaluates the pollution created through the production of animal-based foods compared to plant-based foods, and a second paper that describes how slaughterhouse workers report higher rates of negative physical and psychological well-being than other job types.
And finally in the bullshit corner we tackle that infamous issue of where vegans get their protein!
