No Lab Coat Required: Corn, Soy, and the Real Omega-3 Problem

What looks like a fight over corn and soy turns into a sharper lesson about nutrition, seed oils, and how disconnected we are from the food system. In the full episode, host Johnny Cole Dickson digs into a debate with pasture-raising regenerative farmer Farming Wild Beige, whose defense of corn and soy for hens reframes them as practical tools for affordable animal protein—not moral failures. This shorter recap distills the core argument from the original episode into a minutes-long summary, highlighting why the real issue is the omega-6 to omega-3 imbalance, how processed foods and seed oils crowd out healthier fats, and what to do about it: cut seed oils, eat more leafy greens, add chia or flax, and prioritize wild-caught seafood. You’ll also hear why pasture-raised eggs matter, but aren’t a miracle fix, and how food access and regenerative farming fit into the bigger picture. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
