How "free range" does not mean that chickens and hens have space to roam and live a healthy lifestyle that's beneficial to both animal and the nutrition of people consuming the meat after production. Why ethics and morality doesn't even have to come into the discussion surrounding raising animals for the meat industry, as many methods use marketing spin to hide the negative impact of production on the quality of food for the consumer. What "vegetarian fed" means on chicken meat packaging, and why they should be fed an omnivore diet to ensure that the resulting meat isn't causing inflammation concerns for anyone eating it. Why genetically modified corn and soy is often used as feed because 80% of a meat farming operation is the cost of food for the animals. How there are many underlying concerns in mindset or other aspects of life affect diets and cause a person to have obesity or other physical concerns. What foods cause nutrient deficiency due to low nutritional profiles leading to empty calories. Why farmers are not necessarily to blame for meat industry misinformation, and how they're scammed by companies and often put them out of business. How you're spending way more on NOT eating an organic and healthy diet, backed by statistics. What materials are not legally allowed to be used in food due to health guidelines and legislation, but can be fed to animals that will eventually end up as food, therefore affecting its nutritional profile. How it's not just meat that is affected by poisonous chemicals and nutritionally detrimental approaches; the fruit and vegetable market also has just as many pitfalls. What mindset and mental or lifestyle challenges create incentives for people to seek out food as a source of unconditional love, and why these "story gaps" lead to unhealthy lifestyles, stress responses, and weight gain.   Join Matthew Januszek in conversation with Eugene Trufkin…
