In this episode, I interview Josh Balk. Josh started working at the Humane Society in 2005, and has successfully led many companies like McDonalds and Walmart to treat animals better. He also was instrumental in helping pass Prop 12 in California, which prohibits cruel confinement for mother pigs. Josh is the Co-Founder of Eat Just, the makers of Just Egg, an incredibly popular egg substitute, as well as the first government-approved cultured meat. Josh recently left HSUS to start The Accountability Board, dedicated to ensuring companies fulfill their ESG commitments. We discuss the state of animal welfare, his work at HSUS and how The Accountability Board holds companies accountable for their actions. I really enjoyed this interview, and I hope you do too!
