  • A snowflake writes....

    You do yourself a real discredit by opening with the lazy and offensive phrase ‘stale, pale and male’. Even as someone who thinks your podcast addresses an extremely important and much neglected topic, I was immediately less inclined to hear what you have to say. One hopes your advocacy isn’t littered with such clumsy use of language.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

237: “Humane-Washing”: the misinformation and misleading advertising about where our meat comes from.
Q: How can consumers better verify the authenticity of animal welfare claims on products?
Consumers should rely on clear, standardized labeling and independent certification schemes, and there should be mechanisms to trace production methods more transparently, beyond vague assurances from brands.
237: “Humane-Washing”: the misinformation and misleading advertising about where our meat comes from.
Q: What regulatory changes would help reduce humane washing and improve transparency for consumers?
Increased enforcement resources for local authorities, a stronger and more independent advertising regulator framework, a broader investigation by the CMA into misleading practices, and clearer, standardized welfare labeling beyond the existing voluntary schemes.
237: “Humane-Washing”: the misinformation and misleading advertising about where our meat comes from.
Q: What drives the persistence of misleading advertising about animal farming in the market?
A mix of complacency, aggressive marketing by large corporations, and gaps in enforcement allow misleading depictions to persist, with limited use and awareness of existing laws by a broad range of regulators.
228: Breaking the silence: clause 22A and reforming the law on NDAs
Q: What is meant by the response of an employer?
Emma discusses what could be included under an employer's response regarding allegations of harassment and discrimination, and how it may change the way claims are handled.

Q: Can you tell us how that came about?
