About this listen

Wrestling with your conscience when you have a burger? Concerned that you should switch to almond milk lattes? Rachel Khoo is worried too. The chef and broadcaster trained in French cuisine and her career has been built on the motto: “Butter makes everything better. But all this talk about veganism has started getting to her. Should she change her cooking, her eating and her lifestyle to stop global warming?

Khoo meets farmers, activists, chefs and academics to ask whether beef and dairy really need to die in order for the planet to live, and whether she needs to go vegan to do her bit for the planet. She marches through the battle lines - vegan versus meat eater; plants versus cows; farmers versus the world - to sift truth from propaganda. Khoo sees big corporations pulling the strings in our global food system, which makes her wonder how responsibility for this problem has ended up in the kitchen of time-and-cash-strapped families.

Join this carnivore in crisis as she journeys through the facts and fury of the vegan debate.

    Cook and author Rachel Khoo’s motto is butter makes everything better. So the news that cows are destroying the planet has come as quite an affront. Rachel cares as much about a healthy environment as she does a delicious croissant. Yet suddenly she’s being asked to choose: plants or cows. To find out if a switch to veganism can really slow global warming, Rachel meets the devoted animal campaigners fueling the fight... Will they convince her to go vegan to help save the planet?

interesting perspectives to think about

I enjoyed its attempt at offering multiple perspectives on food issues. I would have liked it to spend more time on food accessibility for those on a limited budget.

Really Well Done

I was impressed with this podcast! It's not your typical 'trying to make you vegan' story. Lots of different opinions and the podcast allows you to make your own decisions by the end of it. I'm personally going to research more of my local farms and try and support local farms who treat their livestock humanely. Thanks for the podcast!
