Defaults and nudges: where they work

For today, a group conversation with two research scientists from Stanford University's Humane and Sustainable Food Lab: Seth Ariel-Greene and Jacob Peacock

We discussed some of 2025 news and trends that affected animal advocacy, such as, artificial intelligence, the election of Donald Trump, the rise of the MAHA movement, the popularity of the vegan nudges concept among researchers, cultivated meat and much more. Seth and Jacob also tried to convince me to start a cult - don't miss that piece of the conversation.
