Plants for the Planet: Alicia Kennedy on the history and future of plant-based eating

Update: 2023-08-28

Description

In this episode of Eat. Drink. Think., we talk with Alicia Kennedy, an acclaimed journalist and author of the new book, No Meat Required: the Cultural History & Culinary Future of Plant-Based Eating. We discuss how the book examines what it has meant to be vegetarian throughout the last several generations. From religious asceticism, via hippy counterculture, punk and post punk, all the way to the media’s current obsession with lab-grown meat replacements, we touch on the intersections of climate, politics, and food justice along with the very real need to have something nourishing, healthy, and delicious to eat each day.
