Abel James Show

Mainstream media loves to smear red meat as unhealthy and disastrous for the environment.  But are cow farts really killing the planet or is that just a ploy to get you to buy fake meat products?  Would the fields behind my childhood home in New Hampshire, for example, really be better off without our happy backyard cows?  Would the ranches and wildlife reserves here in Colorado, replete with buffalo, elk, yak, pronghorn, cattle and mule deer, really be more environmentally-friendly if we simply got rid of all these dirty, burping, polluting animals? The answer isn't quite as simple as the media mavens, climate alarmists and billionaires would lead you to believe.  In an age of sprawling chemical-laden monocrops and fake meat, science is being confounded and abused.  Especially with supply chains catastrophically breaking down across the world, shouldn't we be reducing external chemical inputs and focus instead on becoming more self-reliant?  When we treat nature with respect, both animals and plants can heal the soil and the land as part of a thriving symbiotic ecosystem.  And to help separate truth from propaganda, today we're back with our friend, the one and only Robb Wolf.  Robb is a former research biochemist, powerlifting champion, New York Times best-selling author of several titles, including “The Paleo Solution,” “Wired To Eat,” and his newest book co-authored with Diana Rogers is called “Sacred Cow.”  Robb has functioned as a review editor for the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, as a consultant for the Naval Special Warfare Resiliency Program, and serves on the board of directors for a number of innovative start ups with a focus on health and sustainability. You're going to dig this show, we're chatting about:  Why the sacred cow is a gift from Mother Nature The nutritional quality of pasture-raised meat vs fake meat The importance of soil biodiversity Why we should reduce synthetic chemical-based farming and get back in touch with natural cycles How food manufacturers are capitalizing on our good intentions to peddle their ultra processed artificial products  The importance of protein as a macronutrient And tons more...

But instead of jumping straight into invasive dystopian technology like brain implants (turning us into the borg), we can actually use tech as a tool to improve our habits. It doesn't have to be overly complicated, and it's quickly becoming easier and cheaper to track heart rate variability, sleep quality, fitness, blood sugar, and much more.

Is eating meat bad for the environment? By now, long time listeners like you know well that industrial factory farms packed with GMO grain-fed cattle destroy our health and desecrate the planet.
