Welcome to Bestiary, the podcast about humans and other animals. I'm your host, Eric Botts, and since you've probably never heard of me, we've decided that I should use this episode to introduce myself and show you where I'm coming from with this podcast. So our first two episodes are about my ongoing decision, the one that I make on multiple occasions every day, of whether to eat animals. I promise, future episodes will not feature me preaching vegetarian morals. Rather, I hope to come across as a thoughtful person who considers his diet to be an important part of his worldview. Future episodes will focus on more worldly and external discussions, such as the language studies that have been done on great apes since the 1960s. For now, part 1 of our pilot episode: A story about that ongoing dietary decision, a story about guilt and a frozen chicken.
