Is it wrong to love meat?

Season 3 · Episode 2

Tuesday, August 15, 2023 • Duration 48:08

There exists a distinctly middle class culture in Britain that has taught us to love our meat, especially if we feel guilty about eating it. But what if rather than caring for the animals we eat, we thought about animals as an exploited class who deserve justice, not a cuddle before they are slaughtered? So argues Amber Husain in Meat Love, a powerful little book that is out now.

Lewis Bassett speaks to Amber Husain about the book, whether capitalism really is a barrier to changing our food system and whether it's wrong to love your meat.
