Can Americans be convinced to eat less meat?
Our weekly podcast on democracy in America
AT THANKSGIVING Americans express gratitude for family, the harvest… and a big, juicy turkey. Americans consume the most meat per person, but that’s not good for the planet. Could they cut back?
The Economist’s Jon Fasman and his sons prepare the Thanksgiving turkey. We go back to a nationwide contest to find the perfect chicken. And Caroline Bushnell from The Good Food Institute discusses how to wean Americans off meat.
John Prideaux hosts with Charlotte Howard and Jon Fasman. Runtime: 39 min
