Are we bad people if we eat animals? It's a big question but this episode starts with something very small - an ant I accidentally killed on a train.
That tiny moment led me to think about pain, morality, meat-eating, dairy, fish, and the strange logic many of us use when we decide which animals matter and which don’t. We’ll talk about why some creatures make us feel guilty and others don’t, why the modern food system keeps uncomfortable truths out of sight, and why many of us avoid thinking too deeply about what’s on our plate.
If you’ve ever felt conflicted about eating meat - or never thought about it at all - this episode offers a clear, accessible way to explore the topic while practising your English.
