Writer/Researcher Robb Wolf on Eating Meat

Robb Wolf is a former research biochemist who functioned as a review editor for the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism (Biomed Central). He is a New York Times Best Selling author having written several books including Wired to Eat, The Paleo Solution and Sacred Cow (which he co-authored with Diana Rodgers.)

In this episode we discuss the oft repeated claims that eating meat is bad; not only ethically, but for our health, and especially for the environment. A very vast topic, we do our best to touch on the specifics of several claims about eating meat causing cancer, how much water and land raising cattle uses, and the greenhouse gasses emitted by ruminants.

In the episode, Robb mentions a breakdown he did of various claims that ended up in popular vegan documentaries like “What the Health,” and that breakdown is here.
