This episode we spoke with Josh Milburn about high-tech alternatives to meat, whether strict vegetarianism is immoral, if we morally should eat road kill or shellfish, and a lot of other topics besides, so check out the show notes!

- Josh Milburn is a moral and political philosopher at the University of Sheffield.
- Josh also interviewed me over at his podcast, Knowing Animals. Check it out! I mostly talk about Precision Livestock Farming and other high-tech methods of agriculture, but we also touch on the responsibility of academics to non-human animal harm, and my origin story of how I first started thinking about food.
- I'm not endorsing them and I certainly don't have any kind of deal worked out with them, but Josh mentioned that if you're in the US you can get cellular agriculture/3-D printed milk right now at Perfect Day. Would you check it out? I'm not sure.
- When the episode was recorded you couldn't buy cellular agriculture meat, but just a few weeks later, you now can (at least in Singapore)
- The recipe Josh shared was "Sweet Cranberry Glazed BBQ 'Ribs'" by Gaz Oakley. This episode was recorded a little before Christmas and now it's a bit after Christmas, but I think it would be good any time you're in the mood for ribs, or for "ribs".
- The intro and outro music is "Whiskey Before Breakfast" which is both a great traditional song and a good way to try out some of the cellular agriculture discussed in this episode. It was performed and shared by The Dan River Ramblers under a Creative Commons license.
