Join Bill and his guest, Frank Gomez. Frank is the founder of Ethical Eaters, a Charleston startup tackling humane washing in the restaurant world. Ethical Eaters is the first app that puts animal-product sourcing info in one place, then provides a simple ethical report card based on a restaurant's sourcing practices. Frank’s not an activist or a supply-chain expert—he’s a longtime product manager who got frustrated that he couldn’t tell if part of the profit from a $19 chicken sandwich was going back into the pockets of factory farms. What started as a miles-long iPhone notes app entry has now become a platform to make it easier than ever to help people vote with their dollars, fight factory farming from the ground-up, support ethical restaurants, and humane local farms.
