Could we see the end of factory farming within our lifetime? What if the answer is not convincing everyone to stop eating meat, but completely changing how meat is made? In this episode of Food Heals, Allison Melody sits down with Bruce Friedrich, president of the Good Food Institute and author of Meat: How the Next Agricultural Revolution Will Transform Humanity's Favorite Food and Our Future. Bruce is vegan. Allison is vegan. And they both support cultivated meat, which is real meat grown directly from animal cells instead of raising and slaughtering animals for food. Cultivated meat has the potential to give meat eaters the same product they already want without factory farming, animal slaughter or animal suffering. It will also reduce the environmental destruction, food contamination, antibiotic resistance and pandemic risks connected to conventional animal agriculture. Bruce explains the difference between plant-based and cultivated meat, why cultivated meat could eventually become more affordable than conventional meat and why some of the world's largest food and meat companies are investing in this technology. They also discuss why global meat consumption continues to rise, the surprising enthusiasm cultivated meat receives from heavy meat eaters and whether this agricultural revolution could end factory farming within our lifetime. • What cultivated meat is and how it is made• The difference between plant-based and cultivated meat• Why cultivated meat does not require animal slaughter• How factory farming affects animals, human health and the environment• The connection between animal agriculture and antibiotic resistance• Why cultivated meat may reduce bacterial contamination• Why governments and major food companies are investing• What needs to happen before cultivated meat becomes widely available• Whether factory farming could end within our lifetime The Good Food Institute:https://gfi.org Get Bruce's new book, Meat:https://meatbook.org

It's accelerating climate change, increasing risks of pandemics and antibiotic-resistant diseases, and taking up a lot of land. There's a good chance you've tried alternative proteins, but as author Bruce Friedrich argues, that industry is just getting started on the course of innovation. Friedrich is the founder and president of the Good Food Institute and the author of the new book, Meat: How the Next Agricultural Revolution Will Transform Humanity's Favorite Food—and Our Future. In this conversation, he makes the case for why he thinks alternative proteins can revolutionize food systems, reduce climate impact, and improve global health. He explains the biological reasons humans crave meat and why it's important to understand it. Friedrich details the scientific progress and challenges in cultivated meat and what future innovation is possible. He also explains what he sees as the role of government and industry in scaling alternative proteins. I found this conversation to be very honest and straightforward. Hopefully, the exciting future Freidrich sees is possible!

An exploration of the concept of cultivation, as conducted on both the land and the body, which expands our understanding of it as practice, aesthetic, and ideology. In Cultivated: Plants, Hair, and the Aesthetic of Control (Yale University Press, 2026), Jeffrey Hoelle traces the imprint of cultivation across the naturally growing covers of the land and body—plants and hair. The book builds from research in the agricultural fields and cattle pastures at the edge of the Amazon rainforest to domestic landscapes and hair salons and shops in the frontier cities of Brazil and beyond. In spaces where the tangled forest once stood, clean pastures and ordered rows of crops now sit on properties with geometric edges. From rural spaces to immaculate lawns and cemeteries in the city, the imprint leads to the body, where hair, like plant growth, is cut, trimmed, and otherwise managed. Seemingly separate domains of agriculture, landscaping, and personal grooming are governed by a similar aesthetic of control. This unique pairing of land and body expands our understanding of cultivation as a practice and as an ideology that operates in frontier Amazonia—but also closer to home, influencing how we conceptualize and interpret the covers that grow on and around us, and our imagined relations with nature in the future. Hoelle argues that we must understand this system of thought and the overlooked role it plays in environmental destruction and social inequality. Jeffrey Hoelle is Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research explores the social, cultural, and political-economic dimensions of environmental transformation and deforestation in frontier Amazonia. He is the author of Rainforest Cowboys: The Rise of Ranching and Cattle Culture in Western Amazonia (UT Press, 2015) Yadong Li is an anthropologist-in-training. He is a PhD candidate of Socio-cultural Anthropology at Tulane University. More details about his scholarship and research interests can be found here. Learn more about your ad choices.

Industrial agriculture accounts for a significant share of global emissions, but meat alternatives face real hurdles in becoming a mainstay of consumer diets. The hype around plant-based meat has cooled: hurt by price gaps, ultra-processed rhetoric, and culture-war politics around masculinity and food identity. Yet feeding a growing planet will require eating less beef, wasting less food, and producing more food with less land. Cultivated meat – made from animal cells and grown in a lab – could offer a different path forward, especially in hybrid form combining plant and cultivated proteins.

On this week's episode, host Caryn Antonini is joined by Jessica Davidoff, Founder and CEO of Cob, a corn-free popcorn alternative made from the ancient, nutrient-rich grain sorghum. Jessica's journey began with a deeply personal challenge: when her son developed a severe corn allergy, she set out to create a better, safer snack—one that didn't compromise on taste or nutrition. The result was Cob, a light, cravable puffed sorghum snack that's naturally gluten-free and rich in prebiotic fiber, plant-based protein, and antioxidants. What started as a solution at home quickly gained traction at local farmers' markets, where Cob built a loyal following. Along the way, it caught the attention of Novak Djokovic, who shares Jessica's passion for clean, functional foods.

THIS WEEK'S MESSAGE: Today's Fireside is reminding us that hope is a verb! Yes, it's about taking action, but it's also something that we are asked to cultivate within. If we are going to bring great change, we must remember that the change we bring is different than how leadership was modeled before. In a patriarchal society, we focus on hierarchy. In matriarchal society, we focus on the community. We lead in circle, TOGETHER. Remember that your hope is meant for you, but it's also the thing that sustains and energizes the work that you're bringing in the communities that you live and work inside of. Your leadership isn't about a title... it's about your participation. I also did a three card pull for us today as the energy of our collective feels like we're running quite the gambit, from feeling like we're in the valley, perhaps waiting in the middle or we're on the mountain ready to share what we've been working on! Rose Card Reading (begins at 21min): Share your light! We need your joy, passion and what you're creating. It's going to spark and fuel you, but it's also a beacon to others who are feeling like they're in the valley AND it's going to call in partners who may want to join or collaborate with you to bring your vision forward. Yarn Ball Reading (begins at 26min ): It's time for you to focus on the mystical wisdom you're here to bring. Focus on where you're headed and who your medicine is meant for. Following your instincts will also lead you into regular commitment and discipline to ushering in what you're here to bring forward. Rose Bud Reading (begins at: 35:40min): You're being asked to stay right where you are. You're being attuned and guided to wait at this time. This waiting is FOR YOU. Let your guides remind you of your strength. Be in this moment as it will fuel the momentum you're craving in the long run. 2026 PLAYLIST: Each week of 2026, I'm selecting a song that resonates with the message of that particular Fireside Friday. Today's Fireside Song: "Hope" by NF. Check out the full playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/41b2woCYZCZXpDc1oCasZk?si=8dcd67ec022c49a9ABOUT: Welcome to a Fireside Friday Recording.

Wednesday March 4, 2026II Week of LentToday's readings move us inward—into conscience, community, and the condition of the heart.In Genesis 42:18–28, Joseph's brothers begin to feel the weight of their past. “In truth we are guilty concerning our brother,” they confess. What they once buried now surfaces. Fear grips them as silver is returned to their sacks, and they ask, “What is this that God has done to us?” Conviction is no longer abstract—it is personal. God is stirring their hearts toward repentance.In 1 Corinthians 5:9–6:11, Paul calls the church to clear moral distinction. Believers are not to mirror the broken patterns around them. “Such were some of you,” he reminds them—but they have been washed, sanctified, justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. The gospel does not merely forgive; it transforms identity and behavior.And in Mark 4:1–10, Jesus tells the parable of the sower. The same seed falls on different soils, but the harvest depends on the condition of the ground. The issue is not the power of the Word—it is the posture of the heart. Only receptive soil bears lasting fruit.This episode invites us to allow conviction to soften us, to live as people truly washed and made new, and to cultivate hearts ready to receive and respond to the Word of God.

LW1490 - A Cultivated Curiosity I have no doubt that I use less than 10% of what my software is capable of doing. I know there are features that I would find incredibly useful if I just knew about them. Since I don't know about them, I don't even know I should look for them! Instead, I have to rely on luck and a certain cultivated attitude of curiosity. In fact, that's not a bad idea for so many aspects of life.
