528: The World’s Most Influential Philosopher On Ethical Eating | Peter Singer

What is our responsibility to animals? Is there a way to consciously source and consume animal products? Or are we sacrificing the health of our planet for the sake of a few hamburgers? As the climate crisis grows in urgency, so too do these ethical dilemmas. Answering these questions, however, can often feel confusing, overwhelming… or even downright disheartening. Until, that is, you hear the wisdom and expert reasoning of Peter Singer — an expert in bioethics who’s not only known as the world’s most influential living philosopher, but is also the founding father of the modern animal rights and effective altruism movements. In this eye-opening episode, Peter sheds light on the modern-day challenges of making conscious, empowered eating choices. He provides clear, simple answers to some of the biggest ethical questions that might be keeping you up at night: Is animal liberation our responsibility? Is it possible to be a conscious omnivore? What secrets is the meat industry hiding from us? Why is it so easy to turn a blind eye to this issue? Are small improvements enough? And what changes should we be focusing on first? I loved so much about this conversation, but I think the thing I enjoyed *most* was Peter’s thoughts on how much impact we can make, purely by making more intentional choices and striving for a kinder, more aware existence. So if you want to regain your sense of hope for our planet — and learn how to make better choices for every living creature on it, including the next generation — then do not miss this illuminating chat with Peter Singer.
