Chews Wisely

Caroline’s journey from feeling disconnected from nature to integrated. Her first garden, first chicken eggs, first elk processing. A revelation about seeds! Trees. Fungi. Death.

We’ve all heard that beef is a water hog, often enough that it’s considered common knowledge. Caroline goes to the source - a UNESCO study - to see what we can unpack about that claim. Holes are poked, rants are ranted, and nuance is added.
