Better Meat. Is there such a thing?

Food Slain ·

2022/12/31

Saying there is a thing called “better meat” suggests that there is something that is of lesser quality or worse, right? Or even that there might be a “best” meat. Of course, this is all subjective. But what makes meat good or bad? We all have preferences and price expectations, monetary constraints and values that govern our decision making. We often try to choose what is in our best interest, but we also have to choose trade offs, which are based on some of these microeconomic factors. We

Antibiotics : Contamination, Ingestion & Resistance...

2022/08/26

In this episode, we're talking about antibiotic resistance (and a host of other fascinating and entertaining things) with a frequent, and one of my favorite guests, Dr. Tanei Ricks. If you are a science fan like me, or you're wondering why antibiotics are in our food, water and soil, or why our bodies are resisting them (and ultimately creating "super bugs" that set out to kill us) then you'll love listening to this episode. :) P.S. We are all grown folk, but I figure I should warn you

Demystifying Good Meat with Camas Davis

2022/08/13

In this episode, I'm talking about demystifying good meat with Camas Davis, the founder of the Good Meat Project, published author of her memoir, Killing It and also the founder of the Portland Meat Collective. If you're someone who wants to know where their meat comes from, and you need a little clarity about buying meat in bulk (like buying herdshares) then this is the episode for you! Camas and I sit down in my farm truck and talk about the benefits of buying good meat in bulk, from local

Seeds : The Erasure of Culture & History (aka Control)

Food Slain ·

2022/07/15

In this episode, we're talking about seeds. Yeah, the little things we (meaning farmers) use to grow the entirety of our food supply. Seeds are interesting because seed genetics contain information that helps the plants thrive, produce fruit and even more seeds. However, thanks to corporate consolidation, seeds have become a commodity, ripe for manipulation, control and economic gain...but for whom? We all know "whom"...but seeds are also intrinsically connected to family legacies, food

The Canary Has Left The Building - The Ongoing Food...

Food Slain ·

2022/06/11

We've all heard, "The canary in the coal mine", right? The canary in the coal mine idiom refers to an early warning sign that danger is afoot. In this sense, the canary may or may not be dead but it has definitely left the building. We’ve been warned and danger is ahead. If we stay in the coal mine (meaning, if we keep doing what we’re doing), there’s a higher likelihood we won’t make it out or endure what the CEO of Chase JP Morgan warned us about last week, what he called an "economic

The Barn Is Burning : Why Are Food Production...

2022/05/13

Call it a coincidence or call it intentional. The choice is yours, but the facts are the facts. In less than 18 months, 30 food production facilities (including manufacturers, distributors and food banks) have been impacted by fire. Why? That's the question. There's inflation, bird flu, global events, and more debt at our doorstep...what's to worry about? World leaders would like us to just turn the other way, "nothing to see here" and would rather keep us distracted by erroneous social

So many stories about vegans behaving badly are emerging. There have been several very high profile vegans that have been caught stealing, manipulating their followers and flat out lying to investors and people all over the world while promoting a so-called "healthy lifestyle". People like Belle Gibson, The Vegan Teacher on TikTok and Sarma Melngailis have been caught up in scandals, have made a lot of bad decisions, and have turned their backs on the people who supported them, exposing deep

Food Inflation - The Complicated Reality of Rising...

Food Slain ·

2022/03/25

Inflation. It can be complicated for all of us. We have to navigate through rising prices and the declining value of the dollar, simultaneously. And the outcomes can be serious. The reality is, we are in an inflationary cycle right now. Global food prices are up 47%* and here in the U.S., food prices are up 7.4%** within the past 12 months, with some foods increasing in price by double digit percentages. It's crazy. But, why? Well, part of the reason is debt. The increase in Federal interest

2022/03/18

Parasites. Most people never even think about them, but we all have them. I have them. You have them and there are many, many types of parasites that live inside of us. Think malaria, ticks, worms and one of the most common, toxoplasmosis. Some are active some are like sleeper parasites. Some we see and most we don’t. But they are there, messing with our heads. Rest assured. It's not likely that we can get rid of them, so the best we can do is make the environment inhospitable. Covered in

Detoxification - Are We Actually Getting The Gunk Out...

2022/03/11

In the past decade, some of us go walking around town with a green drink or smoothie in hand, hoping we’re getting rid of the gunk. Well…that’s only half the story. Truth is, we’re probably getting the water soluble gunk out…but most of the toxins we think we are getting rid of, aren’t water soluble. That's why in this episode, I'm talking to Spencer Feldman. He's the creator of Remedy Link, and he's created products and protocol for the effective detoxification of water AND fat soluble

Food Wasted - A Dumb Edible Nightmare

2022/02/18

Why is food waste even a problem? Most of us know that food waste IS a problem, but in this episode we’re going to talk about why it’s a problem, for whom and what we can do about it. Food waste is apparent up and down the food supply chain from the farmer all the way to your plate - and it’s pretty staggering how much food waste contributes to greenhouse gasses, but interestingly, fruits and vegetables are THE most wasted foods. The sad part it, we’re throwing perfectly good food away - to

Olympic Fiasco : Food Fraud in Beijing?

Food Slain ·

2022/02/11

In this week's episode, we're talking pork, and the Olympics. Well, to be honest, we're talking about a lot of different adulterated foods that we should all be leery of, not just those eating and competing at the Olympics. There are a lot of reasons to be concerned about this, the least of which is, we have no idea whether we can REALLY trust food being grown, produced and imported from China, into countries around the world. It's not to say that the food can't be better, because we know it

In this episode, we’re talking about The "Science", with one of my favorite podcast guests who has earned a PhD in Bio Organic Chemistry. He’s been to the show before, first talking about corn and also talking about fluoride (which if you haven’t listened to either of those episodes, you should) and this time, we’re talking about “the Science”...something that is ever present in our lives now for the past two years.

2022/01/28

This week, we find ourselves navigating a lie that has been told for 50 years, thanks to some of our designated government letter agencies and a guy named Ancel Keys. Our quality of life, economic prosperity, the health of our land and water and our wellbeing has all diminished as a result of this big fat lie and in this episode I’m going to share the science that supports this discovery and share some of the history and corruption behind how we got to this point and what we can do about

In this episode, we’re talking about the controversial issue of how prison labor is used by multinational corporations to bring some of your favorite products and foods to your table. What I’d like to share with you in this episode is what is behind the curtain. What the food products are that use convict labor to bring these foods to market, what are the benefits and costs are on both sides of the issues to determine whether this is a good thing for our food and our people.

More specifically, we're diving into some of the major issues in the chocolate industry pertaining to the destruction of rain forests, the ongoing perpetuation of slave labor and price fixing.

Food Consolidated : Who Owns What's On Your Plate?

You may or may not know who owns what is on your plate, but rest assured...it probably isn't who you think it is. There's a big chance that the brands you trust and have been buying food from for years, are now owned by a handful of corporations, giving us the illusion of choice. Welcome to the Season 8 Premiere. In this episode we're diving into a few food industries where three or four corporations control upwards of 80% of the marketshare. They rake in billions in profits every year, often

Hey Food Slayers! It's the end of the year and I figured I'd make a Year In Review BONUS episode. We talked about a lot of food, and talked to some amazing people this season. So, what did we learn from it all? Well, you tell me what you learned, but in this episode I'll share what I learned. At the end of the day, there are good and bad actors in the food industry.

In this episode, we're talking about one of the world's most prolific biohazards that is found up and down the food supply chain, and it cannot be eradicated, only controlled. Meet the fungi you probably never heard of, Ochratoxin A. It's a mycotoxin that is found in 25% of our food globally, it can cause acute and chronic illnesses, it cannot be destroyed by most heat or pH fluctuations, and it is causing havoc inside our pets and our bodies.

In today's episode, we're talking about where our food comes from and the laws that are designed to protect the interests of consumers - Country of Origin Labeling Laws. These laws are designed to help educate consumers about the healthfulness and nutritional benefit of food products, and they contribute to the building of trust between consumers and brands. Sadly, there are a few billion pounds of vulnerable products exempt from these laws and the impacts are changing markets, increasing
