Karma Sense Foodcast

Traceability is the ability to track any food through all stages of production, processing and distribution. It sounds like something we as consumers should never care about. And indeed it is something targeted towards regulators and supply chain managers. But whenever we as consumers make a decision about what we're going to eat, and in making that decision, we base it on any consideration other than pleasure or hedonic hunger, it's because we believe the chosen food will satisfy some condition. And there's no way for us to be sure that condition is met unless it's traceable. In this episode of the Foodcast, we explore the concept of traceability. We also meet Ed Morgan at the Hampshire Meats processing plant and learn about humane animal slaughter. Being "humane" is one thing when it's casually stamped on a food label. It's something else when you experience the process. This and more on episode 0028 of The Foodcast 01:15     Introduction 02:24     Rant - Traceability 13:54     Interview with Ed Morgan
