About this listen

In this episode, Eden is joined by Audrey Lawson-Sanchez, Executive Director of Balanced, to explore the often-overlooked impacts of poultry consumption—from health and nutrition to antibiotic resistance, food safety, and environmental concerns. They discuss nutrition and health implications, factory farming risks, pandemic potential, and how menus can move beyond chicken to healthier, more sustainable options. It's all about progress, not perfection—and this conversation is packed with practical tips, favorite swaps, and big-picture insights.
