131. Food Label Lies: What “Grass-Fed” and “Pasture-Raised” Really Mean with Cloe Parker

from The Well Nourished Mama · host Brooke Harmer

Food labels can feel overwhelming—and in many cases, misleading. In this episode, I sat down with Cloe Parker of Parker Pastures to break down the truth behind common meat labels like “grass-fed,” “pasture-raised,” and “air-chilled,” so you can shop with confidence. They unpack how greenwashing shows up in the grocery store, why an animal’s diet directly impacts the nutritional quality of your food, and how to prioritize high-quality protein without overspending. You’ll also learn why buying meat in bulk can be one of the most cost-effective ways to nourish your family with nutrient-dense, properly raised meat.
