How many of us think about where the meat on our tables comes from? Well, we all should! That’s the message of the Eating Animals movie (2017), produced and narrated by Natalie Portman and based on the best-selling book by Jonathan Safran Froer.

The film shines a light on corporate farming. Besides being inherently cruel to animals, it has destroyed entire ways of life and is devastating our environment. Now factory farming is threatening to kill us all by fostering a pandemic. However, those who blow the whistle face the wrath of this trillion-dollar industry.

In this episode we are joined by Phil Brooke, Research and Education Manager at Compassion in World Farming, who discusses how his organisation is fighting to change the way we think about raising livestock. Along the way, Phil and host Matthew Sherwood talk about what is being done to stop factory farming. And as the current pandemic shows us, at the very least we need to change the way we view our food and how we source it.

“The more animals we keep, the worse we keep them, the more at risk we are of more of these diseases.” - Phil Brooke
