sometimes... you actually do want to know how the sausage is made. on this episode of read receipt i’m chatting with cara nicoletti, a 4th generation butcher and founder of seemore meats & veggies. seemore is a woman-owned sausage company making products with humanely-raised meat and up to 35% vegetables in each link. with product names like la dolce beeta, it's not too difficult to see why these sausages are grinding through the old way people consumed and wasted meat. after working through the new york city butcher and restaurant scene,  nicoletti began experimenting with placing veggies into handmade sausages after customers were reluctant to try her veggie burgers.since then, the demand for more sustainable meat has exploded and landed seemore in retailer giants like whole foods. today we explore what it means to fight through ceo self-doubt, why the sausage is the og sustainable food, and how the #metoo movement and global pandemic helped shine a spotlight on the dark corners of the meat processing industry.
