October 31, 2023 07:00 - 45 minutes - 34.8 MB

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.

Jennifer Stojkovic on Our Broken Food System & Ways it Can Be Repaired

October 17, 2023 07:00 - 56 minutes - 38.4 MB

It’s no secret that our food system is broken. Food production has been consolidated and corporatized, leading to the illusion of choice and abundance. The reality is a landscape of nutrient-poor, ultra-processed convenience food. As a nation, we are overfed, and undernourished, and “lifestyle” diseases are compromising our health and happiness.  On today’s show, my co-host, James Connolly, sits down for an in-depth conversation with Jennifer Stojkovic. Jennifer is a food-tech leader, foun...

September 12, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 75.1 MB

“What to eat?” This is a question we ask ourselves several times a day.  The answer seems simple enough, but there are endless factors that drives this decision: your values, budget, time, mood, and last but not least - taste.  To answer this question, Martin Cohen, PhD, taps into philosophy. Dr. Cohen is a British philosopher who blends “psychological and social studies with philosophical theory” and aims to explain complex problems in easy-to-understand ways.  His latest book is I Th...

August 22, 2023 07:00 - 54 minutes - 48.7 MB

Running a successful bison ranch takes more than land and a dream. Jon Sepp, one of the founders of Roam Free Ranch, will agree. Jon knew from childhood that bison ranching was in his future.

Ulbe Bosma on the Rise of the Sugar Industry

July 25, 2023 07:00 - 58 minutes - 41.3 MB

Sugar is ubiquitous. Our grocery stores are brimming with sugar-added products, both from the usual suspects like cereal, soda, and other sweet treats and from products marketed as “healthy” that can contain a whopping dose of the sweet stuff. Likely though, if you’ve been following my work for awhile, you already know this. But how did we get here?  The new book, The World of Sugar: How the Sweet Stuff Transformed Our Politics, Health, and Environment over 2000 Years, seeks the answer. ...
