MAHA’s ‘Natural’ Foods Obsession Doesn’t Account for the Way We Actually Eat (Part 2)

In the 2nd half of this episode, learn how the MAHA movement’s desire to eat more “naturally” may be grounded in a need for people to feel empowered, but it’s definitely not scalable to earth this way. Reminds me of a quote from Sailesh Rao in The End of Medicine film, "When we say we'll go back to small scale farming, we're basically saying the problem is not that WE'RE eating animal foods, the problem is that the riffraff are eating animal foods. If you can make the poor people stop eating animal foods, there'll be plenty for the rich to eat animal foods. It's a very classist, colonialist argument to make. I'm just shocked that anyone would make it in this day and age."

Sentient Media is a nonprofit news organization that is changing the conversation around animal agriculture across the globe. They seek to create and sustain a sense of global urgency about the agriculture industry’s impact on the climate crisis, extraction of natural resources and systematic exploitation of the fringes of society. They're doing this through critical commentary, investigative journalism, creating resources, strengthening the journalist and advocate community, partnering with publishers and holding the media accountable when it fails to report on the most pressing issues of our time.
