Project -

The “Meat Your Future Project” is a series of “videos chapters” under the topics (1) Health, (2) Environment, and (3) Ethics. Once complete, we hope it will provide a “video treatise” summarizing a broad array of relevant issues surrounding animal consumption. We anticipate this project could take a year or longer, so we are releasing individual chapters as they are completed. The chapters are listed below (although they may change slightly as we work through the project, and individual videos may not necessarily be released in the numbered order).

You can watch the completed video chapters by selecting from the links below. Please check back often to see what new chapters have been posted, or subscribe here to receive email notices of when they are added.
