To Tai, nothing beats cutting into a perfectly cooked steak or wolfing down a big, juicy cheeseburger. But lately he's been paying more attention to the buzz around going meatless in the fight against climate change.

In this episode Tai talks to:
- Brent Kim, researcher at the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future
- Jody Puglisi, professor of structural biology at Stanford University
