Talk Dirt to Me

Ep. 248: So, do cows eat people?


Listen Later

If beef costs so much at the grocery store, why aren't cattle producers swimming in money? In this episode, we tackle some of the biggest and occasionally dumbest questions people ask about American agriculture.

We break down where your food dollar actually goes, how inflation has affected beef prices, and why expensive groceries don't automatically mean farmers are getting rich. We also explain what cattle really eat, whether livestock are treated humanely, and how farmers turn everything from ethanol byproducts to rejected candy into valuable feed instead of waste.

Then we get into the myths surrounding modern farming: Are crops drenched in chemicals? Does "organic" mean pesticide-free? Why can't farmers save their own seed? Are seed companies controlling the food supply, or are hybrids and patented genetics a little more complicated than the internet makes them sound?

We also wade into MAHA, food dyes, cereal that's still unhealthy no matter what color it is, motorcycles, government mandates, and whether cows could help you pull off the perfect crime.

Finally, we reveal the executive orders we'd sign if America ever made the terrible decision to elect us president, from abolishing taxes and the ATF to uncovering whatever the government is hiding at Area 51.

It's farming myths, expensive beef, organic pesticides, government conspiracies, and questionable presidential policy, all in one episode of Talk Dirt to Me.
