In the debates about encouraging more people to enter the trades and the price of food, one part of the discussion keeps getting overlooked:

Butchery is a skilled profession that is underpaid compared to the "building trades" and paying the talented people who cut your meat is secondary to having affordable meat.

In this episode of A More Perfect Plate, we talk about the history of Labor Day, provide context on why butchers have fallen out of the "skilled trade" category, and provide food for thought.

This is "The Discussion," Nick & co-host Bridget enjoy a cocktail and talk through the complicated situation in a fun way. You can watch at the link below, or listen in this feed!

If you'd like to hear the full story, listen to "The Read" where Nick narrates the entire story, or you can find the link to read the full blog post below!
