2 Listeners
In Episode 167 I sit down with Stanford Professor Christopher Gardner to chat about his recent SWAP-MEAT trial that compared plant-based meat with animal-based meat.
If you're wondering how healthy plant-based burgers and sausages are, relative to their organic animal-based counterparts (yes he compared against organic animal products) then I am sure you will find this episode interesting and quite thought provoking.
We also touch on another study that compared the nutrient makeup of plant-based meat to animal-based meat.
Hope you enjoy it.
