In this episode of the Plant-Based Canada Podcast, we sit down with Eleanor Boyle. She’s a long-time journalist and former college instructor, who has written many articles on ways to improve our diets and food systems. You can find her blog at eleanorboyle.com. Eleanor has written two books: 'High Steaks: Why and How to Eat Less Meat' and 'Mobilize Food: Wartime Inspiration for Environmental Victory Today'.
Eleanor and I pick up where we left off in Episode 79, catching up on the latest headlines involving outbreaks of avian flu on Canadian, American, and European farming operations. She breaks down why we’re seeing an uptick in these cases, the weaknesses in our food system, and why we need to consider a new approach to chicken farming—and animal agriculture at large.
