Lucie Morris-Marr was a fit and healthy 44 year old, mother of two when she received a shock diagnosis of invasive stage four bowel cancer. She had no family history, was a non smoker, had a varied diet, a good weight and wasn't a heavy drinker. Lucie had just published her first non fiction book into the secret trial and conviction of Australian Catholic Cardinal George Pell. As her treatment began, all publicity events for that book were cancelled, and she defaulted to her journalistic instincts - digging deeper into other possible links to bowel cancer. What she discovered was a wealth of scientific studies linking regular consumption of processed meats with bowel cancer. Her new book Processed, draws on this science, and her own experience, to make the case for much better understanding of the risks to human health from processed meat.

Summary: In some industries, new players try to shake things up by breaking them down. But in sectors like food, where traditions run deep and habits are hard to change, collaboration can be a far more palatable strategy and can be leveraged to create scalable, sustainable solutions. Today's guest is doing just that, using decades of industry expertise to partner with key players, tackle global challenges, and redefine what's possible for the future of food. Jeff "Trip" Tripician is the CEO of Meatable, a Dutch biotech company dedicated to the development of cultivated meat products. Trip is an industry veteran with more than 25 years of experience in the organic and natural meat industry in the U.S. He most recently served as CEO of Grass Fed Foods and, prior to that, as President of Perdue Premium Meat Company. Trip also brings extensive experience across the U.S. meat market with deep expertise in the U.S. supply chain, marketing of sustainable meat products, fundraising, and M&A. In fact, at Grass Fed Foods, Trip orchestrated a successful merger between Teton Waters Ranch and SunFed Ranch, which positioned the company as the foremost regeneratively focused grass-fed beef platform in the U.S.During his time at Perdue Premium Meat Company, he spearheaded the company's growth and premium meat brands, such as Niman Ranch and Coleman Natural, among others. Notably, he oversaw the acquisition and integration of Panorama Organic Grass-fed Meats and Alexander & Hornung. In this episode, Trip shares how his background in the traditional meat industry shaped his work at Meatable. We dive into the cultivated meat-making process and the nuances of producing different cuts and types of meat.

The problem? Experts have now conceded that that diagnosis isn't reliable; in fact, many cases have been overturned because we now know that the syndrome isn't just caused by abuse but can have bacteriological and other biological components to it making the person completely innocent. So why won't they stop it? It's Texas. Listeria is running amok in pre-packaged chicken, and deli meats. Hundreds of millions of pounds of meat is being recalled. And yet, the nation refuses to go Vegan. We know how much damage meat does to the body; we know the next pandemic will probably come from meat or dairy...but...we line up to eat it. Death Wish 2024.

A bleak outlook for the meat export industry with jobs and plants likely to go from next year. Affco is predicting the loss of hundreds of meat processing jobs due to the country's shrinking livestock numbers. The industry's forecasting 1 million fewer lambs to be available for processing next season. Federated Farmers meat and wool industry group chair Toby Williams told Mike Hosking there's a couple of factors contributing to low lamb numbers. “There's a slowdown in China who aren't taking as much sheep meat as they were. We've also got Australia – Australia's slaughtering record numbers of lambs at the moment, so there's just too much sheep meat in the world.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How the Meat Industry Hooks Children by Jennifer Molidor at the Center for Biological Diversity at TakeExtinctionOffYourPlate.com Original post: https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/population_and_sustainability/food-x/food-x-issue-33.html Related Episodes: 772: When Big Agriculture Funds University Experts by Abby Steketee at Faunalytics.org The Center for Biological Diversity is a non-profit working to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive. Why is the Center for Biological Diversity focusing on reducing meat consumption? When it comes to the causes of environmental destruction and overconsumption of resources, the meat industry is at the top of the list. Meat production uses massive amounts of water and land, and leaves behind devastating amounts of pollution and greenhouse gases. America's livestock industry — particularly through grazing on public lands — is one of the greatest threats to endangered species and habitat. How to support the podcast: Share with others.

“This isn't just a purchasing decision. This has huge and sweeping ramifications. As consumers, we dictate the food system; our choices pull a lever that directly dictates how all this works.” —Marshall Bartlett Sustainable meat production is about more than just the end product— it's also about supporting a holistic farming system that nourishes both people and the land. When consumers make the conscientious choice to purchase meat from farms practicing this kind of care, it solidifies a food system that will continue nourishing communities for many years to come. This week, Justine sits down with Marshall Bartlett, the co-founder and CEO of Home Place Pastures, a fifth-generation family farm in Mississippi that has transformed over the past decade to practice regenerative agriculture through rotational grazing of grass-fed beef and pastured pork. Marshall aims to improve soil health, support ethical animal welfare, and make locally grown, sustainable meat accessible in his community. Tune in as Justine and Marshall talk about the challenges of conventional agriculture, how regenerative practices like rotational grazing can improve soil health and sequester carbon long-term, and the importance of education and storytelling to help consumers understand labels and make informed choices that support small, local producers. Meet Marshall: Marshall grew up in the Home Place and fell in love with the farm and his hometown throughout his childhood. After graduating from the Mississippi School of Math and Science, Marshall left the South to attend Dartmouth College for undergrad. After college, he spent time in Montana, completed an AmeriCorps term in New Orleans rebuilding houses destroyed in Katrina, and eventually ran operations for a small business specializing in sourcing local meat for New Orleans chefs. In 2014, at the age of 24, Marshall returned to the Home Place with a new vision for the family farm and has worked for the last 10 years to bring this vision to reality. You can usually find him on the Home Place Monday through Saturday somewhere between the meat plant, the farming operation, and the Farm Store. He often gives farm tours and butcher classes at the Home Place. He spends his off-farm time with his wife Katie and daughter Joan or traveling to help learn from other farmers and meat processors.
