I’ve recently started listening to the Best of the Left podcast, which is a compilation of short clips from various television and radio programs with a progressive or liberal bent.
A recent episode was all about food, so I thought I’d post it here. Many of the clips early in the episode are related to fast food and obesity, but the later clips are the ones I found most interesting, especially Johann Hari’s bit about antibiotics in livestock production, and the final listener call-in breaking down the ethics of veganism and vegetarianism in a voicemail essay of surprising clarity and balance.
The whole thing is well worth a listen:
