What Next: TBD | Tech, power, and the future
Technology
Most pet food is made from the byproducts of the meat that we, humans, eat.

But a closer look raises questions about whether or not this food is actually better for the environment.
Guest: Chloe Sorvino, writer for Forbes and the author of the book Raw Deal: Hidden Corruption, Corporate Greed, and the Fight for the Future of Meat.
