#580: Today we're welcoming Dr. Paul Saladino to the show. Dr. Saladino is the leading authority on the science and application of the carnivore diet and animal-based diets. He has used these diets to reverse autoimmune issues, chronic inflammation and mental health issues in hundreds of patients, many of whom had been told their conditions were untreatable. Today we sit down and have a conversation about a different take on health, what the carnivore diet is and what exactly it includes, and Dr. Paul gives us insight into how he feels that vegans are going about their health in the wrong way. We discuss the misconceptions surrounding a predominantly meat-based diet, and he explains how the media has created a fear around animal protein and squashes the argument surrounding animal-based farming VS plant-based farming. He also gets into veganism, why it isn't sustainable, why humans need animal protein for overall health, and he gives tips on how to grocery shop for the most nutritious and sustainably raised animal products.

We are so excited to have Mallory of Oregon AgLink on our show today to tell us a little bit about the amazing world of agriculture. Though it's a system we might not think of often, or if we do it's with mixed feelings, we all depend on the work of famers to provide the food we eat. Mallory has so much to share about how the farming industry works, is all inter-connected and is constantly adapting to market demand.  She demystifies common food labels you encounter in the grocery store, as well as walking us through what certain terms do and do not mean. We walked away from this conversation feeling incredibly grateful for the work of the few (only 1.3% of the population) that feed the masses, and the intricate network that gets food to our tables every day.  The documentary Food Evolution was discussed throughout the episode, and here are all of Mallory's resources she mentioned:Safe Fruits & Veggies - Calculator to see how many servings could be eaten without any adverse effects from pesticide residueUC Davis - Biotech Program BlogCornell University - Alliance for ScienceThe Genetic Literacy ProjectBiology Fortified - Crop Modification TechniquesAustralian chemistry teacher James Kennedy's blog: infographics of fruit (Scroll past the banana in Chinese to see all English versions)TDF Honest Farming - Find Derrick Josi @tdfhonestfarming on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube -- raises cows for milk for Tillamook cheese, ice cream, etc. (Oregon coast)Owyhee Produce's Shay Myers growing onions, asparagus, mint, and more on the Oregon Idaho border, went viral during pandemic and can be found @shayfarmkid on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, plus has a podcast called Produce Common SenseThe Farm Babe - Michelle Miller (on most socials)Dr. Kevin Folta - scientist, science communicator, and professor at University of Florida and hosts Talking Biotech podcastTamar Haspel - James Beard award winning Washington Post columnist in pursuit of a more constructive conversation on divisive food-policy issuesMichele Payn - Author of 3 books - Food Bullying: How to avoid buying BS, Food Truths from Farm to Table: 25 Surprising Ways to Shop & Eat without Guilt, and No More Food Fights, can be found on most social media and has a podcast called Food Bullying

“Food has become a battleground where spurious marketing labels and misinformation are used to cajole, manipulate, even shame consumers about their eating choices.”So writes Michele Payn ('93 B.S., Animal Science; '93 B.S., Agriculture and Natural Resources Communication) in her third book, Food Bullying:  How to Avoid Buying B.S., (Morgan James, 2019), recipient of the Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY) Gold Medal in Health, Medicine and Nutrition.Armed with science, compelling personal stories, and a lifetime on the farm, Payn challenges the way we think about food.  “I believe deeply in choice, especially when it comes to food.  I wrote Food Bullying to help people first become aware of the subtle, sophisticated, often devious ways they are manipulated and then to develop strategies for making guilt-free food choices based on their own ethical, environmental and health standards.”  Payn, also a nationally acclaimed public speaker and consultant, began her business, Cause Matters, at age 30.   “When I was at Michigan State, I knew I wanted to work in the agricultural industry and I would someday launch a business.  But I never imagined I would do that at age 30.”  One of the salient themes running through all Payn's  work is the importance of dialogue among agricultural producers, consumers, doctors, nutritionists and other key influentials in the food industry.  “Communication among knowledgeable professionals ensures that science-based information becomes the key component of food purchasing decisions—rather than marketing claims or testimonials from organizations with special agendas.”  Payn grew up on a dairy farm outside Jonesville, MI and attended Litchfield High School.  “Because of frequent visits to the beautiful MSU campus for 4-H and FFA events, there was never any doubt where I would go to college.”  Her passion for dairy cows continues as a Registered Holstein Breeder on her farm in central Indiana.  The dual degree program was challenging, Payn recalls, but the blending of the animal sciences and communication provided the career preparation she sought.   Her advice to MSU students interested in working in the food and agriculture industry:  “Despite the recent tough economic times, people in the industry are resilient; we will get through this, and there will continue to be excellent career opportunities for Michigan State graduates.”“One of many things I learned at MSU is that nothing builds strength like overcoming difficulty.   Keep your mind open to possibilities; don't limit your dreams.  And avail yourself of all the wonderful opportunities MSU offers, especially the faculty and staff whose support and guidance will prove invaluable.”    In addition to her commitment to family and career, Payn volunteers for a number of organizations, including Big Sisters, Boone County 4-H, and National FFA.  She is also past president of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources Alumni Board. Payn's work has been featured in USA Today, Food Insight, and Food & Nutrition Magazine, on CNN and NPR and many other media outlets. She is also the author of No More Food Fights! and Food Truths from Farm to Table, also an IPPY award winner in Health, Medicine and Nutrition.  MSU Today airs every Sunday morning at 9:00 on 105.1 FM, AM 870, and however you stream at home.

USDA Certified Organic is more than a label.  Our guest, Carolyn Olson, shares the attention to detail and expense necessary to produce an organic crop.  She also shares how raising pigs conventionally is part of their plan. Carolyn Olson is a wife, mom, grandma, and farmer. She is a district director on the Minnesota Farm Bureau board of directors and was the first chair of the American Farm Bureau Organic and Direct Marketing Issue Advisory Committee. She farms with her husband, Jonathan, in southwest Minnesota, and shared her farm story in Food Truths from Farm to Table about how conventional and organic agriculture can work together. Key points: It takes 36 months to become a certified organic farm: There is a ton of record-keeping and paperwork to prove everything is done exactly to organic standards. In those 36 months. farmers can sell crops in the conventional market, but there are more expenses. They can find new markets for their crops or switch to different crops. Farmers have to market their own crops and understand who is buying what. Annual and spot inspections are a big expense and require that what is happening matches exactly with the requirements and plans. Agriculture has divided themselves into groups, such organic vs. conventional or no-till vs. till. There isn’t one right answer in agriculture - or in food.  Everyone chooses what is best for them. For example, raising pigs conventionally provides ample organic fertilizer. Tips to overcome Food Bullying: Remember that no matter what you buy, you are supporting a farmer. If you have questions about organic, ask an organic farmer. If you have questions about conventional, ask a conventional farmer. Understand the impact of the disruption of the food chain has on the emotional health of farmers.  Come in with compassion.

You plan the meals and do the grocery shopping for your family. As you stand in line to check out of your favorite store, with your cart brimming with next week’s meals and snacks, are you trying to hide your purchases, so others don’t judge what your chose? Did you ever stop to wonder how you made the decisions about what went in your cart? Did you research each item, finding out about its quality and nutrition count and how it will help your family? More than likely you made many of those choices based on the latest trends and fads, what your friends were buying or the fancy packaging with big, bold words that sound great but may be misleading.Michele Payn :Michele is an international, award-winning author who brings clarity and common sense to the emotional food conversation. Her background in farming and her extensive research give her the information to break down and clarify some of the widespread confusion and misinformation about the food you buy for you family.When you are trying to make changes to be healthier, you are especially vulnerable and the most subject to food bullying. you need factual, science-based information to help you get the best quality and most nutritious itemsFood Bullying is when other people try to influence your food choices without having solid fact-based reasons. Trends, fads, misinformation and well-meaning friends can all have you second guessing or trying to hide what you are eating because you feel guilty about your food choices.When you are making nutritional choices for your family, food should be about celebration not condemnation! It is about getting back to basics, nourishment, family traditions, and fueling your body.Psychologists use Mazlow’s Hierarchy to describe basic human needs. The five-level pyramid is comprised of the following needs from the bottom up: physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.Physiological needs and safety are at the base. They are biological requirements for survival, food, water and shelter. If those needs are not met, the others don’t matter. Food choices should be about safety and nourishment. Is your food safe? Yes, the US and Canada have very safe food supplies. There are many checks and balances to insure that. Is the food nourishing. There is only one way to tell and that is to look at the nutrition label.As you move up in the pyramid your basic needs are love, belonging and self-esteem. Bullies prey on your fear of not fitting in. Friends, fads and trends all influence what you buy, with no actual nutritional knowledge. Consumers are manipulated into making food choices by packaging with words that are “Health Halos”. Those are words that look like they mean something important and wonderful but actually have no verifiable information. If you can’t define it and it is not measurable, words such as “natural” and “healthy”, it is B.S. or Bull Speak.Unless you are a registered dietitian or a farmer who actually produces food, you are subject to confusing and completely false information about the quality and nutritive value of many of the foods you eat. You should choose what you eat and feed your family based on factual information not the latest trend, fad or scare tactic.Check out Michele’s website for more in depth information.https://causematters.com/Food Truths from Farm to Table: 25 Surprising Ways to Shop and Eat Without Guilt brings clarity to grocery shopping and addresses food marketing myths.https://causematters.com/foodtruthsbook/Food Bullying: How to Avoid Buying B.S. looks at the misrepresentation of food and sheds light on bogus nutrition and environmental claims to help people recognize and stand up to food bullies.https://causematters.com/foodbullying/More Resources: www.healthaccountabilitycoach.comwww.facebook.com/houselifestyles
