Seg. 1: Meat Consumption. Seg. 2: Jeremy Haum And Me Like Bees

Segment 1: Have our habits on eating meat changed?

The amount of meat Americans will consume this year is expected to reach record heights, despite talks about the virtues of veggie-based diets. On this episode, we explore the changing role of meat in our lives.

People don't make cameos in news stories; the human story is the story, with characters affected by news events, not defined by them.
