The Well Fed Neighbor

Our larger industrialized food system often has a way of managing things that makes a person think. Recently and Amish Farmer in Pennsylvania was shut down again due to allegations of making a child sick. There is a lot to discuss here but we will get into some of the food safety and inspection concerns as well as how food sovereignty aligns with local, regenerative foods. 

Sarah and Angela discuss why everyone ( yes, everyone) needs to grow food! Why? Because connects you with your food. Come listen to a candid talk, some ins and outs, stories about successes ( we could share failures but they are less inspiring)finding new tools and networking with community. Once you try it you'll never turn back. Elijah made his debut on this one in the background too!

Sarah and Angela, as promised, dive into the issue of plant based and lab grown meat. Are they meat? Are they sustainable and good for the planet? What about the nutritional value? The marketing around these products promote them to save the planet. Is this accurate or a potential marketing misrepresentation?  Ok, so there are a lot more questions than just the episode title. 

Sarah and Angela dive into the hot trendy topic of bugs in our food. Can bugs be a part of a sustainable food system? What if your neighbors eat bugs but you do not? Hopefully, this will provide some insight on where you would like to stand on this topic. 

Sarah and Angela introduce themselves and talk a bit about why local and regional food systems are so important.
