Daily: Will COVID take meat off your plate?

We’ve all heard about the “wet markets” in Wuhan. How connected are COVID-19 and dangers of future pandemics to the world meat trade? JULIET GELLATLEY of vegan charity Viva! explains how indiscriminate mixing of species and neglect of hygiene in meat markets creates the perfect breeding ground for another viral emergency. Is giving up meat – or eating less of it – no longer a matter of personal choice but world public health? “More and more diseases are emerging from animals and crossing over to human beings… Three in four new diseases come from animals.” Presented by Naomi Smith.
