Beef and the environment (Nov. 24, 2025)
Manage episode 521030913 series 3580292

On Monday's show: Two inmates died inside the Harris County Jail last week, according to a spokesperson for the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, bringing the jail’s in-custody death total to 18 this year. We learn the latest on these cases.
Also this hour: A new study examines what has come to be known as the carbon "hoofprint” of cities, a measure for how bad beef is for the environment. It turns out the pounds of CO2 emitted per pound of meat at retail varies widely from city to city. Put another way: the carbon footprint of a hamburger is, in fact, bigger in Houston than it is in Chicago. We learn more about the study and talk with some area farmers trying to raise cattle in manner that minimizes this effect.
Then, we discuss the latest developments in consumer technology with columnist Dwight Silverman.
And we talk over recent developments in Houston sports with Jeff Balke, co-host of the Bleav in Astros podcast.
