Epicurious Ditches Beef Recipes + Gen Z Water – Xtalks Food Podcast Ep. 9

Will a recipe website’s move to ditch beef actually help fight climate change? In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney discusses Epicurious’ recent move to stop publishing new beef recipes to help consumers make more sustainable cooking choices. She shares some thoughts on why the stance against beef may be excluding other climate change culprits, and the team weighs in as well.

Also in this episode, Mira introduces the team to Gen Z Water, a “transparent, flavorless liquid” designed for the trendiest generation. The aluminum, recyclable bottles provide an alternative for expensive reusable bottles and one-time-use plastic bottles. Hear clips from Mira’s interview with Gen Z Water’s CEO, Doug Batie, where they discuss the inspiration behind the brand and its messaging.
