He's also published hundreds of articles ranging from daily newspapers such as The Washington Post to pop-sci publications like Scientific American as well as magazines like FORTUNE and academic journals. What We Discuss In This Episode: In this episode, we discuss at length the question of this decade – food and agricultural sustainability. Since there's so much discussion around our meat sources, GMO sources, etc., this is a very timely interview where Paul discusses his exciting business and how we can eat from better sources, and even how to recognize what that meat source is. We discuss why anyone would want to grow real meat from animal cells, as well as the difference between plant-based burgers and meat grown from cells. Paul's company, The Better Meat Co., uses microbial fermentation to grow meat-like foods. It may sound new to you, but Paul does an excellent job of discussing how that is different from making plant-based meat in today's market. This is a fascinating subject, and of course, Paul's pit bull, Eddie gets several mentions throughout the podcast. If this feels like a mystery to you, then listen in, and let Paul break it down for you.
