Description

Regenerative agriculture. Farm to table. Humane meat. These are buzzwords of a movement led by Michael Pollan, Joel Salatin, and others who believe that animal foods are fine if they come from the "right" farms. Today's guest, Professor John Sanbonmatsu, excoriates their argument in his new book The Omnivore's Deception, making an on-target and heavy-hitting case for veganism.
