Podcast: The UK's meat consumption

Meat eating has become a divisive topic in recent years with meat drawn into conversations around identity and politics - despite health, climate change, and environmental organisations around the world saying we need to eat less of it to reach our health and climate goals.
So to delve into the subject we've lined up a panel of experts to discuss the key issues and everything you need to know about our new Meat Facts report.
The episode features Sophie Bauer of the WWF, Sarah Wakefield of Eating Better, Mark Breen MacCormick of Hubbub, and Dr Shireen Kassam, a consultant haematologist of Plant Based Health Professionals UK and is presented by our Business and Investor Engagement Manager Rebecca Tobi.
