Well as you might know (or maybe not), Elara does let me get out on my own every once in a while. This past Fall, my brother and I went on a cross country road trip from San Diego, CA to Rhinebeck, NY.  We were headed back to New York to film the NY Sate Sheep and Wool Festival and I thought it would be great to do a brothers road trip. My brother has not gotten to see much of the west and so I wanted him to see some of this great country's sites. There are many that we visited from Yellowstone, Tetons, The Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, Deadwood, SD, and Devils Tower.  As we were driving through South Dakota we saw a sign for the World's Only Corn Palace, so we looked at each other and said we've got to check this place out.  It's located in Mitchell, SD and also happens to be the hometown of Senator George McGovern, who by the way was instrumental in the creation of the United Nations-run World Food Program. As we walked in to look around, I said to my brother that we need to get an interview about this place and find out its history. There we were connected to Doug Greenway, the director of the Corn Palace and he was gracious enough to give us a few minutes of his time and to give us brief run down of this buildings origin.Links:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_Palacehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_McGovernhttps://cornpalace.comhttps://sheepandwool.comSupport the show

Dr. Bruce Monger is a Senior Lecturer and Researcher in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Cornell University. His research involves the use of satellite remote sensing methods to study environmental controls of ocean primary production at global scales.  He currently serves as a member of NASA's Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry Science Team.  I discovered him while I was doing my Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell University.  While I've been eating plant-based for nearly 7 years, I was amazed with what I learned from his lectures and I immediately asked him to come on the show. Global climate change is a huge issue.  If you've been watching the news lately, the financial markets and large companies and taking steps to offset their carbon emissions. While I think this is great, a lot of our daily choices and what we consume as individuals make a huge difference.  I don't think it's a problem we can buy our way out of and the first step comes with education of how dire this situation actually is.  Dr. Monger says that we are either going to be the generation that essentially is responsible for turning ou r back on the planet and how future generations will be forced to live, or we can be the generation that created a paradigm shift and saved the planet for future beings.  There is a finite amount of CO2 that can be released into the air before Earth's temperature increases to a point where things like fresh water, the ability to even grow food, and extreme weather incidents will occur.  Our choices in the next decade or two will forever impact the planet and how all beings exist moving forward.

On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, two Very Special Episodes of TV. The “One Day at a Time” episode "Anxiety" was a well-done depiction of how anxiety really feels. And on “The West Wing,” we're back on the campaign trail in a documentary-style ep called "King Corn." Next week: "The Man" on One Day at a Time and "The Wake Up Call" on The West Wing. For quotes, archives, and more, visit us at http://parentingroundabout.com.

We have so many great guests for our discussion of “King Corn” that you’re going to look at this podcast episode the way Will Bailey looks at an ice cream sandwich. We talk Ned & Ronna with Evan Arnold & Karis Campbell, we talk Turkey with West Wing writer Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, and Politico senior writer Michael Grunwald walks us through the political maize of supporting ethanol. For more, visit thewestwingweekly.com/613

On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, we did not watch “The West Wing” episode that we promised last week. Instead, we tried out a promising new NBC sitcom, “Abby’s,” starring Natalie Morales and sharing some DNA with our beloved “Parks & Recreation” and “The Good Place.” Over on “One Day at a Time,” it's one part silly (teen driving) and one part moving (mother-daughter heart-to-hearts) with a healthy dose of Stephen Tobolowsky's Dr. Berkowitz. Next week: "Anxiety" on “One Day at a Time” and "King Corn" on “West Wing.” For quotes, archives, and more, visit us at http://parentingroundabout.com.

On our entertainment-themed Round 2 this week, “One Day at a Time” returns (http://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/brothers-sisters-and-writers) to the sitcom way of tying up very real conversations with an unreal bow (in "The First Time"). On “The West Wing,” the staff suddenly realizes they have exactly one year left to solve all the world's problems in "365 Days." Next week: "She Drives Me Crazy" on “One Day at a Time” and "King Corn" on “The West Wing.” For quotes, archives, and more, visit us at http://parentingroundabout.com.

Welcome to the best episode we have ever done. After a solid start and then some soul searching we find our happy place. sadly that happy place exists in the imaginary/alternate future where Adam rules an apocalyptic world and uses a now feral Kenneth as a source of punishment and entertainment. What do pedophiles, Johnathan Taylor Thomas, corn and homosexuals have in common? Absolutely nothing but we make jokes about them anyways. we did have a crazy audio issue but it was a labor of love to make it a listenable episode.

Jon Moore reporting! This week we are focusing on post from the blog Local Food Northland entitled The industrial agriculture “feed the world” myth. The myth discussed in this video and written presentation is the “We need industrial agriculture to feed the world now and into the future.” This myth is prevalent, usually unchallenged and wrong. It is supported in the US by The Alliance to Feed the Future. I’ve put a link in the show notes. It worth a look just to check the members page. Here we find such health food producers as the National Frozen Pizza Institute, the Association for Dressings and Sauces, Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association of the United States, The Fertilizer Institute, Grocery Manufacturers Association, International Association of Color Manufacturers, National Confectioners Association and Shelf-Stable Food Processors Association to name a few from the list of members. You can see a certain pattern in these members. They are not localised, wholefood types. Shelf-Stable Food Processors Association are not in existence to breed better tasting, longer shelf life tomatoes as much as they are developing better chemical preservatives to maintain the look but not necessarily the health properties of food, certainly not wholefoods. They were originally formed in 1923 as the National Meat Canners Association. There is a list of their aims and the fourth aim is: Quote: to inform the trade and public of the advantages of processed food product usage; End Quote Given the history of excessive salt, fat and sugar useage in the processed food sector, these might not be the best source of information on the best way to feed the world. I’m not picking on the Shelf-Stable Food Processors Association, the National Confectioners Association is probably not a better source of information on farming and food production either. So, let’s look the system of production The Alliance to Feed the Future is advocating for. It is the industrial, Henry Ford inspired, ways of doing things. As I’ve argued elsewhere, the Ford system is great for producing widgets and turning employees into robots but food production involves far more living things. A carrot seed is not pig iron. To begin at the beginning: Seeds. In the industrial system seeds are highly interbred to produce hybrid types with certain characteristics. These characteristics are chosen to create a level of uniformity suitable to industrial processes. I’ll cover alternative methods and choices later but stay with me on this journey. These seeds are sold on a one use only basis. Collecting a portion of this year’s crop to replant next year is not an option for at least three reasons. One: as hybrids they will not continue to grow true to type each year as the founding cultivars will exhibit their growth patterns over the years. This will result in very uneven growth rates, maturation rates and so on, Two: quite often and increasingly, these seeds are design to be infertile in the next generation. This is especially so with vegetable seeds. A friend saved the seeds from a halloween pumpkin so I could regrow them for her the next season. All of the flowers were male and therefore incapable of forming fruits. And lastly Three: producers are being forced to sign agreements as part of the conditions of seed purchase which prohibits them from seed saving and re-sowing. Now that the farmer has these seeds in their soil, it turns out they are designed to grow with application of chemical fertilisers and water and set times. It just so happens that many of the seed sellers also sell fertilisers. Happy coincidence. To obtain the greatest possible yield to cover the costs of these one off seeds, the necessary fertiliser and any pesticides to save their investment, monocultures are not only encouraged but probably essential to obtain a return. Podcast sidebar: Monocultures are the growing on one cultivar of one crop in one continuous paddock. The downsides of this are: a huge banquet has been laid for insects, herbivores and diseases which specialise in that crop. The one crop takes a particular set of nutrients from the soil. When the same crop is grown over and over on the same piece of land, more chemical fertilisers are required to obtain the same yield. Chemical fertilisers have been shown to kill off soil biota, leading to the need for more fertilisers and the loss of topsoil. A win/win for the fertiliser manufacturers but a growing spiral of increasing costs for the farmer. End podcast sidebar. The end effect of everyone growing the same crop, producing an identical output is commodification. If there is nothing to distinguish the end product of one farm from that of another then the product can and will be treated as a commodity. That being so, it traded on markets globally and the producer becomes a price taker not a price setter. In effect the farmer buys all his inputs at retail prices and sells at wholesale. This is not a recipe for sustainability. As a result, in the USA, the number of farmers has fallen to such an extent that the occupation “Farmer” is no longer counted in the census. The other effect of this commodification of food is the processed food sector. For a more in depth look at that effect check out the 2007 film “King Corn”. As ever, there is a link in the show notes. There are more unpleasant side effects of industrial ag but I’ll leave those for you to see in the video in the post from Local Food Northland. Is there an alternative way to feed the world that does not destroy land, force farmers in debt cycles, produces healthy food and will feed the world? I’ll glad you asked, Yes, of course there is. The system is sustainable, smallholder agriculture. It is currently producing 70% of world agricultural output. Let that sink in. Despite the huge subsidies involved in the US Farm Bills each year, industrial agriculture produces just 30% of the world’s food. If you’ve watched King Corn you will know most of that heads into processed foods which I would argue is directly linked to the obesity epidemic in the developed world and the rise in Type 2 diabetes as well. I could go on and have in the past but i’ll let it sit there for now. The thing with regenerative or sustainable or conservation agriculture or Permaculture or biodynamic is these systems do not have the lobbyists poking the governments of the world to ensure their voices are heard. They tend to attract hands on, let’s just do the job types who are less inclined to force their snouts into the trough pulled by the gravy train of pork barrelers in the seats of government around the globe. Mixed metaphors aside, the only way to stop the industrialised juggernaut from wreaking more havoc upon the biosphere is get political. That sustainable methods produce more per acre that monocultures, that they produce far less waste, that they grow soil and sequester carbon and that smallholders already produce 70% of the world’s food just doesn’t matter when the Empire is feeding the political process through lobbyists and donations. We need to get organised, we need to out compete The Alliance to Feed the Future with guerrilla campaigns to let our representatives know we’ve had enough of the misinformation, the corporate welfare, the debt enslavement of farmers and corruption of our food systems. There is a cross roads approaching, if it is not already here. The earth, the soils are renewable, are re-growable, we can reverse the damage done to it, to those who tend it and those who consume her bounties but we need to act now. We probably needed to act yesterday but today is good enough. Hassle your local representatives, don’t let them get away with business as usual, plant some herb seeds, an apple tree or keep some chooks but do something. If ten percent of us, as the late Bill Mollison once said, moved from consumption to local production, we could change the world for the better. I would add to that and more quickly than we realise! And on that happy note we will end this week’s episode. If you’ve liked what you heard, please tell everyone you know any way you can! I’d also really appreciate a review on iTunes. This may or may not help others to find us but it gives this podcaster an enormous thrill! Thanks in advance!

In this Media Club episode, your ReThink True Health podcast host, Nathan Brammeier, talks about the the movie: King Corn. It is now playing for free on Amazon Prime. "King Corn is a feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation. In the film, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America’s most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat—and how we farm." - www.kingcorn.net Be sure to head over to www.ReThinkTrueHealth.com and sign up for your free eBook and free monthly newsletter.
