Food Recalls : Contamination, Corruption & Danger

Food Slain ·

2021/10/22

In this episode, we’re talking about food recalls. This is a listener suggested topic, so I want to just thank Dante for suggesting this topic. It is so timely, because if you are connected to me on the socials, I shared an article this week about a recent, Class II, 525,000 pound canned roast beef recall. What's worse is, the public tax payers rely on inspectors to catch public health threats when it comes to our meat, poultry and processed egg products, yet there's manipulation, coercion

The Economics of Agriculture : A Conversation with...

2021/10/15

Today, we’re talking to an agricultural economist about the food supply chain, growing challenges with land succession and how to hedge the rise in animal feed prices. I am really excited to talk to someone who understands economics because it is such a critical lens to look through when talking about food and agriculture. I am thrilled to welcome Michelle Klieger who is the founder of Stratagerm Consulting, an agricultural and business consulting firm. She also has a podcast and is a

2021/10/08

In this episode, we're talking about vegetable oils, which in truth, we're talking about industrialized, mechanized seed oil production and how it has completely infiltrated our food supply chain. It's everywhere and in almost everything. For decades, these seed oils have been promoted as being a "healthier" option because animal fats (what people have eaten for millennia) got a bad rap! The research shows that polyunsaturated fats in vegetable oils may be lowering our cholesterol, but it's

In this week's episode, we're talking about SPI's...or as you might recognize them, soy protein isolate. There are many alternatives to animal proteins, but it seems (after diving deep into a rabbit hole of research, videos, studies, science and many other tangents) that these alternatives, including by not limited to soy, have a "dark" side that impacts our health, environment and wallet...yaddah, yaddah...you know how it goes. This shouldn't be a surprise, but what is eye opening is the way

Letitia Carson - America's First Black Woman to Own Land

2021/09/24

Today, we're going back to food, farming and history and we're talking about Letitia Carson, America's first black woman to be granted a land claim under the Homestead Act of 1862. She came to Oregon on the Oregon Trail with her common law husband, David Carson, and they had two children. Martha, the first child, whom you see on the cover art and who was born while on the way to Oregon, and the other, Adam. She was a one of Oregon's first black pioneers who came out West with her family,

Coffee - An Exploitative Drug In Plain Sight

2021/09/17

In this episode we’re talking about one of the most addictive beverages consumed by billions of people every morning (sometimes twice or three times a day), coffee! If you’re not a coffee drinker, I get it. This episode may not be for you. But if you do drink coffee, you’ll learn a few things about the history of coffee, how we got here, a few factoids about the economic value of coffee, the exploitation of coffee farmers, and the environmental impact of our coffee addiction. It’s a pretty

2021/09/10

In this episode, we're talking about beef...again. Why? Because there is a lot more to the story. Like how 86% the beef processing industry is owned and controlled by four major global corporations, one who has been caught bribing government officials, is paying off health inspectors so tainted and contaminated meat makes it to market and is disguising foreign grown beef as US beef - thanks to Congress repealing Country of Origin labeling laws in 2015. It is a "hot mess" and the blame should

Beef. It’s what’s for dinner, they say. But what else is it? In this episode we’re talking about beef, as an industry, as environmental, health and economic challenges, as well as the industry as a whole and how it contributes to our lives and basic products we use everyday. No matter what side of the debate you're on, beef pervades our lives in many, many ways, so it’s worth digging into to learn exactly where we need to focus the blame - and it isn’t on ALL beef producers. It’s a tricky

Microplastics & Poop : How Fibers, Beads and Nurdles...

2021/07/23

Today, we are swirling around in a plastic eddy trying to find our way out of microplastics. The reality is, there is no way out. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but all I can say is...our bodies are full of microplastic bits and fibers, literally. And so is our fruit, beer and salt. We are dependent on convenience in our food supply chain and plastic is necessary for food safety, so where does that leave us? It leaves us swirling around in this seemingly never ending eddy of plastic

In this episode, we're talking about pork, beef and chicken as a national security threat. If you haven't heard the news, the largest pork, beef and chicken meat processor in the world, JBS was attacked a little over a month ago and caused shortages and price increases for you and me. The problem isn't just the threat of compromised security of sensitive data and operating systems, it's the threat of food insecurity. JBS processes 85% of meat products in the U.S. and has been "playing dirty"

Today, we’re back to talking about food, farming and history, and we’re talking about Henry Blair. If you’ve never heard his name before, chances are, especially if you are a farmer, you’ve used one of his inventions or some iteration of one of his inventions. Anyway, I chose this man to do an episode on, not because he is a black inventor, not because he is hardly known by many, but because his patented inventions (plural) have changed the lives of farmers in the United States since

Stevia : Super Sugar from the World's Worst Company

2021/06/11

In this episode, we're talking about stevia - not really the stevia derived from the plant. We're talking about a "stevia" product developed by Cargill and Royal DSM which is the synthetic biology and scientific fermentation of genes and yeast, and it is showing up in our food supply chain as a trademarked product called EverSweet™. This zero-calorie, "non-artificial" sweetener is designed to “urgently advance sugar reduction around the world" and ”to support good health and well being in our

In this episode we're talking about strawberries. Conventionally grown strawberries for the most part. We consume 8 lbs per person of this popular summer fruit in the United States. It's a multi billion dollar industry and unfortunately, the way strawberries are grown, 20-30% of samples test positive for toxic chemicals that are not only killing bees, they are impacting our brains and reproductive health, especially in men. Most importantly, huge conventional strawberry farmers use massive

You might remember him from Season Three, but if not, he's back again this time to talk to us about rice and arsenic, specifically inorganic arsenic and other heavy metals found in rice and other food products. Rice is THE most important human food crop in the world, feeding half the world's total population. Many cultures rely on rice for food multiple meals a day and we

In this episode we're talking about fake, adulterated olive oil. So, what the heck is going on with olive oil, you ask? Well, let me put it this way...it's expensive as all get out (as 2Chains would say, it's the "most expensivist"), it's cut with other seed oils that can cause health problems, it's an industry run (basically) by the "agro-mafia", it's labeling regulations don't exist, so producers can put whatever they want on the label, AND a few of the major sources of olive trees in Europe

Money and profitability are real components of running ANY business. And let me tell you first hand, being a small farmer isn't going to make you a millionaire - but it can be profitable. There are many small farmers making money on small plots of land, thanks in part to this guy. Meet Booker T. Whatley. In this episode of Food, Farm & History, we're talking about a farmer who believed that "smaller was smarter". He was a black farmer from Alabama who studied with Dr. George Washington

In this episode, we’re talking to Zach Menchini - a soil enthusiast and technical soil expert who digs down into the details. He talks about how soil sequesters carbon, what we can do to help our soil be healthier and more productive. For his "day job" he's a soil consultant at Concentrates (one of my favorite places to be), and at his "other job" he’s a farmer and the founder of Campfire Farms . If you've ever wondered about how soil sequesters carbon, or what happens "down under" your soil,

In this episode I'm talking with Gus from Naked Acres. She and her wife Margo, own and operate Naked Acres Farm in Beavercreek, OR. With their combined veterinary and science backgrounds, it's no wonder they are finding a successful groove in the local community. What's great about this conversation is, the quality of the food we buy is reflective of the health of the soil it's grown in...even the grasses and hay that Gus' animals eat!
