#56 The Nutritional, Environmental and Ethical Case for Better Meat with Diana Rodgers

Diana Rodgers, RD, LDN is a “real food” Licensed Registered Dietitian Nutritionist living on a working organic farm in New England. She’s an author and host of The Sustainable Dish Podcast. She's currently working on a new book and film project, Sacred Cow, exploring the important role of animals in our food system. Diana and I discuss how and why meat is imperative to a stable ecosystem, a healthy diet and necessary to address a long list of environmental issues. We talk soil, death, the religious history behind why Americans have come to view meat as "bad" and how to spread truth and enact meaningful change when it feels like everything is working against you.
