The problems, no matter how advanced these "fake meats"are, that exist for our health and the planet. Ingredients that are in the fake Beyond Burger and Impossible Burger and what makes them "bleed". The extreme price of both the Beyond Burger and Impossible Burger and why it's probable that we may never actually be able to purchase them on our own at the store but will be able to find them in restaurants. How meat plays a role in the evolution of our brain size and human culture. What it is about our human nature that entices us to hunt an consume meat. Vital nutrients that are in meat and not plants such as bioavailable vitamin B12. The EAT-Lancet study on meat and why they recommended eating only 2 oz of meat a day with the environment in mind. Evidence that it might not actually help the environment if we stop eating meat because of the shift in focus on crops that also need a lot of resources. The importance of meat for human brain development. Differences in the meat we eat today compared to what our ancestors ate. What the FDA knows and doesn't know about the ingredients in our food including the lab-grown, fake burgers. Tyson's chicken investing in both the lab-grown and fake plant-based meats. Why some of the world's richest people like Bill Gates and companies like Tyson are researching lab-grown and plant-based fake meats. What would happen if the government helped invest in local farming in the USA to create more Polyface farms. The benefits of eating various parts of an animal's organs from tripe to the tongue for their nutrients. Various diets he has tried before finding Paleo and why his health greatly suffered while on a vegan diet. His future plans to continue investigating how meat plays a part in our health, culture, and future. Other sources of nutrition from fish to insects like crickets. The carnivore diet that has recently taken off in the last couple of years. Power Quotes From The Show "If you can afford to eat grass-fed, then eat fattier cuts of meat but if you can only afford to eat traditional meat, then eat as lean of meat as possible." - Shawn Mihalik "Crops such as wheat, rice, and soy take a lot of resources and deplete the soil. In comparison, regenerative farms, take us to a whole other level of farming. If done right, they can be carbon positive. If you were to eat animals that were raised this way, you would be actively helping the environment because it nourishes the soil, actively restores grasslands, and new wildlife if brought into the area." - Shawn Mihalik "Most animals that we eat today are not fed the grasses that they were evolved to eat but wheat, soy, and corn which are heavily modified. This then leads the animals to develop a whole different omega 3 to omega 6 ratio than what our ancestors ate. We can still find the same type of meat that our ancestors ate but the majority of us are eating animals that have been raised in these stressful, abusive environments and we're eating the energy of these animals." - Shawn Mihalik "Most of our current cropland is actually being used to grow the wheat, corn, and soy that is feeding factory farmed animals; not to grow what's feeding humans and that is part of why we currently have a food shortage. So, if everybody ate sustainably grown meat, we would be repurposing a lot of that land and replenishing that soil as well. In addition, we probably wouldn't be eating as much meat as we currently do now but we would be eating higher quality meat." - Shawn Mihalik Links From Today's Show Shawn Mihalik Twitter Facebook Paleo Magazine Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Pinterest Paleo Magazine Radio  PMR #249: Can We Fix Meat?

Colin Wright (@colinismyname) is an author who travels full-time. Originally from California, Colin started and ran a branding studio in Los Angeles. After experiencing some financial success, he refocused his attention on being happier, healthier, and doing work he believes in; which meant a dramatic adjustment to the metrics of how he measured success. Shortly thereafter he got rid of everything he owned that didn’t fit into a carry-on bag and hit the road. That was in 2009, he has been traveling ever since and Colin says "It was the best decision I've ever made". He's is an incredibly intelligent and interesting man, he's written some 30+ books on topics including travel, minimalism and business. He works from wherever he is currently living, co-owns a publishing company (Asymmetrical Press), speaks internationally, runs a blog which can be found at exilelifestyle.com and produces his own podcast called "Let's know Things". Every four months or so, Colin's readers vote on where he will move and live next. In this conversation, we covered a variety of topics including tech, a little on the stock market and how he would go about building an app for the trade sector if he was commissioned with that task.
