On our 53rd podcast we talk with Karen Davis of United Poultry Concerns about the fate of chickens and other food animals and how Proposition 2 in California may or may not wind up helping them in the long term. We hear a song from Heidi Howe, and there is a Science Fact about how the bad effects of a Western diet, high in meat, carry over no matter where in the world you are. Lastly we reveal the vegetarian connection to the Phillies winning the World Series.
