Topic: Meat Eating

Silicon Valley startups Eat Just and Upside Foods have received FDA clearance for human consumption of lab-grown chicken. The process involves cultivating animal cells in bioreactors to create meat without harming animals, though the USDA has yet to approve it for commercial sale. Critics question the safety and economic viability of the technology, noting that it currently operates at a loss in Singapore.

Following a listener's request, the hosts provide information on a yak meat supplier called Del Yaks based in Colorado. They share specific cooking instructions, emphasizing that yak should never be microwaved as it ruins the delicate flavor. The meat should be cooked longer for roasts but faster for steaks, ideally removed from heat at rare to finish at medium-rare.

A group of "sausage-wielding extremists" reportedly attacked a vegan cafe in Tbilisi, Georgia, by throwing meat at patrons. The hosts suggest this bizarre event is being used to create a media association between meat-eating and Nazi ideology, further polarizing dietary choices.
