I think the ideas of regenerative farming for bison or other animals is actually in parallel to the philosophy of meaty, which nobody would ever say for most other meat alternative things. It's hard to find quality small produced food products anyway. If you wanted to buy good source salmon rowl, it's fucking hard. These are things that are going to change. I don't even view it anymore as meat alternative. It is just, this is the way we want to eat better meat. We want to be better custodians. And in order to do so, to eat bettermeat, we need to eat less of it.
After a drop-in visit from the Podfather, who then proceeds to rejoice in the pleasures of populist food and culture, Dave and Chris speak with Tyler Huggins—CEO and cofounder of Meati Foods. He brings his unique point of view on environmentalism and sustainable food systems to address the problem of a potential global protein shortage with Meati: a meat alternative made out of mycelium. Other topics include ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ (again), backcountry splitboarding, and what to do with a year’s worth of elk meat.
