About this listen

In this episode, we're joined by Audrey Lawson-Sanchez (Executive Director of Balanced.org) to talk about the health and environmental risks of processed meats, why they're still so common on school and hospital menus, and how to start making simple, satisfying swaps. From evidence-based insights to easy plant-based alternatives, we cover everything from Beyond sausages and tempeh bacon to jackfruit, carrot hot dogs.
