Sustainable Dish Episode 171: Fireside Chat with Robb Wolf


Listen Later

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Robb Wolf for over a decade and over the course of that time and through our work together on Sacred Cow, we’ve had so many conversations that we wish we would have recorded. 
During these Fireside Chats, you’ll hear us talk about recent studies we find interesting, current events, complex food issues that need deep exploration, and other related hot topics that have captured our attention.
Join us for today’s chat as we discuss:

How we met
The structure of the book Sacred Cow and how it hits the three main points of controversy in a meat inclusive diet
The reality of beef consumption in America
The problem with profitability in Impossible Burger
How sometimes the best use of land is grazing
Well For Culture’s Instagram post about the importance of bison to Indigenous people
The reality of humans trying to improve upon nature
The study from India that attributes positive pregnancy outcomes solely to eating a vegetarian diet
Historical lessons to be learned from demonizing meat consumption
How being a proud meat-eater affects Diana’s social life
The Indian Express article about the first ‘Climate Change’ diagnosis
How the cause of wildfires should not only be attributed to climate change and how mismanagement is, in part, to blame. Don’t worry – we are not climate change deniers!
