That Friday’s audience was so satisfied with the Cowspiracy we showed illustrates how, no matter what your diet consists of, we want to call into question our food choices, especially with the environmental crises going on. Before we plunge head first into the relevance Cowspiracy has (gotten back) today, there are two controversies we need to get out of the way.
