149: “Why is it so hard to talk about meat?” – Cross-post bonus episode with Jenny Splitter from her FutureFeed substack talking to Jamie Woodhouse

Sentientism 18 March 2023


Background

We discuss the biggest questions: "what's real?", "who matters?" and "how to make a better world?" with scientists, celebrities, activists, writers and philosophers. The Sentientism worldview is "evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings." It's a simple, yet radical, philosophy that's grounded in reality (naturalistic epistemology) and has compassion for all sentient beings (mostly human and non-human animals). Naturalism & sentiocentrism combined.

This episode is a bonus cross-post of my conversation about “Why is it so hard to talk about meat?”, and of course Sentientism, with Jenny Splitter for her FutureFeed substack – make sure you go and subscribe! Jenny is managing Editor for Sentient Media. She is an award-winning journalist and contributor to outlets like Vox, Everyday Health, Popular Mechanics, The Guardian and others. She’s one of the founding members of, and a contributor to SciMoms. I was also lucky to have Jenny as my guest on Sentientism episode 64.

In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the two most important questions: “what’s real?” & “what (and who) matters?”

Sentientism answers those questions with a commitment to “evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings.”
