The Appalachian Podcast

In Part 2 with Thad Montgomery and Chris Montgomery (The Appalachian Farmer ep88) along with Jonah Deborde (Come Home to Christmas Special ep90), and Gayle Montgomery (Thad's Wife/Melvins Farm to Fork Store) to finish off a great episode that dove into issues we face with our food supply. In part 2 we discussed GMOs and their affect on our bodies, plants, and the soil. We also jumped back into the inconsistency of the FDA, health issues that come from processed foods, label requirements that mislead you, deception, took some shots at Simon and British food, the disgusting amount of time shelf food sits, how the price difference to shop local isn't as outrageous as many think, plus much more . We also give a list of local farmers you can reach out to in order to obtain these products. There are a lot of laughs, and a lot of valuable insight, so we really hope you enjoy this one.http://www.patreon.com/getontaphttps://www.appalachianpodcast.orghttps://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcasthttps://twitter.com/GetOnTaphttps://www.instagram.com/theappalachianpodcast/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100084420137669https://www.melvinsfarm2fork.com/https://www.facebook.com/harwellgriceSupport the show

In this show we brought back Thad Montgomery and Chris Montgomery (The Appalachian Farmer ep88) along with Jonah Deborde (Come Home to Christmas Special ep90), and Gayle Montgomery (Thad's Wife/Melvins Farm to Fork Store) to have one hell of an episode that dove into issues we face with our food supply. We discussed how the entities that "control" us, and the supply chain, have put small farmers, and consumers, into a corner. From the FDA to corporate America, crap science, and greedy shareholders, we're seeing major issues in the supply chain, with health, and a plethora of other hurdles that we have to overcome. There are a lot of laughs, and a lot of valuable insight, so we really hope you enjoy this one.http://www.patreon.com/getontaphttps://www.appalachianpodcast.orghttps://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcasthttps://twitter.com/GetOnTaphttps://www.instagram.com/theappalachianpodcast/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100084420137669https://www.melvinsfarm2fork.com/https://www.facebook.com/harwellgriceSupport the show
