New video challenges myths about the use of modern technologies to raise animals

The use of modern technologies to raise animals has come under scrutiny in recent years as some call for a return to “simpler” practices. A new Meat MythCrusher video examines the role of technology in raising animals and challenges the claim that a return to lower tech livestock production and processing would improve our food supply.

The video features Jayson Lusk, Ph.D., professor at Oklahoma State University and author of the book Food Police: A Well-Fed Manifesto about the Politics of Your Plate. Dr. Lusk discusses the wide variety of benefits technology has had on the farm but are often overlooked.
