Welcome to the first episode in the Neoliberal Podcast's new series on Effective Altruism, the movement that tries to do the most good possible for the world.  Jeremiah welcomes Lewis Bollard to the show to talk about animal welfare as an EA topic.  Why should people care about the suffering of animals vs the suffering of people?  How bad are conditions really in the factory farms that supply most of the meat we eat? Which methods are the most cost-effective ways to help reduce animal suffering? We dive into why many effective altruists are working in this space and what they're doing to help farm animals around the world.
