Every month we record an entire extra podcast episode which goes up on our private podcast feed, Kitchen Table Chats, for our supporters to enjoy as a benefit of their financial support. In these episodes we chat about what is happening in our kitchens, big revelations or things we are studying or writing about, as well as answer questions sent in by our supporters.

Today we are sharing with you an episode that launched on the private podcast feed in March, and we answered a number of interesting questions from listeners including a very sticky one we frequently have been asked, and had to deal with in very personal ways before - what to do when people are critical or downright rude to you about the ways you choose to eat, or make snide remarks about ancestral or non-industrial foods. We also talked about the idea of finishing everything on your plate, and whether either of us subscribes to that idea. In addition we talked about the Nourishing Traditions read-along, which is open to everyone and can be found in the show notes!

To become a paid supporter of our podcast and enjoy more of these kinds of informal chats as well as many other lovely benefits, visit ancestralkitchenpodcast.com or just peek at the show notes.
