Our Food System is Rigged feat. Sheril Kirshenbaum

Season 1 Episode 34 | 11m 53s

The way we eat is unsustainable for the climate. Our food system contributes a massive amount of greenhouse gas emissions and touches basically every facet of our life. The answer is pretty simple on paper: We need to convert more of our diet to plant-based foods, and away from red meat. But in practice? It’s nowhere near that easy.
