About

In 2021, a survey of over 1,000 Americans found that nearly two-thirds had eaten plant-based meat alternatives in the past year. Many cited potential health and environmental benefits as their motivation. But are these alternative meats actually better for us and the planet? Carolyn Beans investigates the differences between farmed meat, plant-based meat, and lab-grown meat. [Directed Laura Jayne Hodkin, narrated by Alexandra Panzer, music by Carlos Magaña Bru, cAMP Studio].
