Show Me the Unnatural Meat. Dr. Kraig Peel on Ranching, Food Labels, Leadership, and the Truth About What You’re Eating

Dr. Kraig Peel is a professor, rancher, ruminant nutritionist, and expert witness who’s spent his life at the intersection of science and agriculture. He managed a 100,000-acre ranch in Texas, built a graduate program at Colorado State that the university said couldn’t be done, and has been married to his lovely wife, Shirley, for 37 years.In this episode, Kraig joins Dee Dee to talk about what“free range” and “cage free” actually mean, why he won’t eat cage-free eggs, how four companies control 85% of American beef, the $3 million wool subsidy that proved subsidies destroy more than they help, and a burrito story that’s the best leadership lesson you’ll hear all year.DISCLAIMER: Any reference to a 'husband' in this podcast refers to my long-term partner with whom I cohabitate.
