For centuries, we've thought of "meat" as flesh from a once-living animal. But with meat production today being a leading driver of climate change, deforestation, wildlife extinction, and more, is there a way we can satiate humanity's "meat-tooth" without the need to raise and slaughter so many animals? CEO and author Paul Shapiro makes the case for creating new kinds of meat experiences by harnessing the power of microscopic fungi to lighten humanity's footprint, and food-print, on the planet.
