America’s Food Fight: Beef Imports, Industrial Chicken and What’s Really on Our Plates

From the farm to the grocery store, government policy and industry decisions have a major impact on what Americans eat, and on the farmers who produce it. This week, host Doug Stephan (www.eastleighfarm.com) takes a closer look at some of the biggest issues shaping American agriculture and our food supply.Doug begins with beef, examining the debate over import tariffs and what lowering them could mean for American consumers and domestic cattle producers. He then turns to the enormous scale of industrial chicken production, raising questions about farming practices, bacterial contamination and food safety.The conversation expands into what Doug calls America’s ongoing “food fight,” where agriculture, politics, public health and powerful industry interests collide. He looks at the debate surrounding federal dietary guidelines, the growing concern over ultra-processed foods, environmental considerations and the influence of the food industry on programs like SNAP.Who ultimately decides what constitutes a healthy American diet, and how do those decisions affect the family farmers producing our food? Doug breaks down the policies, competing interests and consequences behind the headlines.For more on the American Family Farmer…Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.comSocial Media: @GoodDayNetworks
