We’ve reached the final episode of the Sustainable Dish podcast, and I am joined by my friend Robb Wolf to help me close it out.
During this casual conversation, we look back on how our ideologies and priorities have changed over the years – from the time of a dogmatic approach to Paleo to now when we are better able to incorporate nuance when it’s needed.
And it wouldn’t be a conversation with Robb if we didn’t debunk the latest study vilifying meat. The latest study from Harvard finds a correlation between red meat consumption and type 2 diabetes. Like other epidemiological studies before it, this, too, falls apart once you start digging into the data.
The chat concludes with an update from Robb about what’s in the future for LMNT. And I report the latest news from GFJA.
We also discuss:
How our priorities have shifted as we’ve gotten older
Some thoughts on Ozempic
The flaws of epidemiological studies
Plant-based meat alternatives and their potential impact on the food industry
The staying power of Sacred Cow
