Have you given up meat for Veganuary? This week we’re looking at the fascinating history of human meat consumption and finding out whether we *really* need it in our diets. We’re assessing the alternatives – including introducing insects to our mealtimes, lab-grown food and meat substitutes – and we’re looking at the true effect farming animals has on the environment.

Special thanks to today’s expert, Dr Melanie Joy.
