Now to episode 250 Diana Rodgers from Sustainable Dish joins Kara and Leah on this week’s episode of Low Carb Conversations with Kara Halderman and Leah Williamson. Sit back, relax with a kale juice and enjoy this week’s episode! GMOs as safe as conventional food, beneficial for farmers — scientists
Quarter of millennials have absolutely no interest in cookery
This week on Low Carb Conversations, Diana Rodgers shares information her new documentary called, “Kale Vs. Cow: The Case for Better Meat". Kale Vs. Cow is the brainchild of Diana Rodgers of Sustainable Dish, a real food dietician living on a working organic farm. The film focuses on the most vilified of farm animals, the cow, ultimately making the case that eliminating animals from our food system will cause more harm than good. Contrary to popular media messages that demonize beef, well-managed cattle are one of our best chances at improving soil health and sequestering carbon. Red meat is also a superfood, rich in high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals. Red meat is not the enemy. Diana needs your help! Support Kale vs. Cow’s crowdfunding campaign here!
Diana, Kara and Leah discuss an article where by a conference in the Philippines stated that GMO's where in fact, safe. What do you think? Then they discuss an article about Millennial's and how they just don't seem to see the need to cook these days. Do you fall in that category? And do you have a beef with our secret health headline?
