In this episode of the Pederson's Farms podcast, Neil Dudley interviews Carnivore Ray, who follows a carnivore diet consisting of only meat, eggs, and seafood. Ray shares his journey of how he started the carnivore diet and the positive effects it had on his physical and mental health. He experienced weight loss, improved mental focus, and the disappearance of chronic knee pain. Ray also discusses his perspective on food addiction and the importance of not comparing oneself to others. He emphasizes that while the carnivore diet may not be for everyone, it can be a beneficial option for many. In this conversation, Carnivore Ray and Neil Dudley discuss the benefits of the carnivore diet and the misconceptions surrounding it. They touch on topics such as the importance of understanding different perspectives, the potential impact of food on our health, and the role of alcohol in a carnivore diet. They also discuss the preference for lean meats among women and the affordability of the carnivore diet. The conversation ends with a discussion about their favorite steaks and the reasons behind their career choices. Takeaways The carnivore diet, consisting of only meat, eggs, and seafood, can have positive effects on physical and mental health. Following a carnivore diet can lead to weight loss, improved mental focus, and the reduction or elimination of chronic pain. Food addiction is a real struggle, and it is important to understand that individuals are not solely to blame for their addiction in a society that promotes hyper-palatable and addictive foods. It is crucial not to compare oneself to others and to focus on what works best for one's own body and health. While the carnivore diet may not be suitable for everyone, it can be a valuable option for those looking to improve their overall well-being. Understanding different perspectives can lead to more effective communication and understanding. Certain foods may have adverse effects on our health that we have deemed as normal. The carnivore diet can help alleviate conditions like gout and regulate hormones. Alcohol is best avoided on a carnivore diet due to its negative impact on sleep and metabolism. Women's preference for lean meats may be influenced by societal norms and misconceptions. The affordability of the carnivore diet is a topic worth exploring. Ribeye is a favorite steak among carnivore enthusiasts. Career choices in the agriculture industry can be influenced by personal experiences and values.

Love bacon? But you don't want to feed it to your kids because it's processed, it's got nitrite, and it's unhealthy. Well, you and your kids can actually eat all the bacon you want. You just have to make sure you know where you're getting it from. Out of all the meat out there, it seems that pork has been the slowest to come around when it comes to ideal practices and humane stewardship. But Pederson's Natural Farms has been doing this for a very long time. In fact, they're the first to make no-sugar bacon available nationwide. In today's episode, Neil Dudley, vice president of Pederson's Natural Farms, joins us to talk about raising humane pork. He gives us a word picture of how they raise pigs at Pederson's Natural Farms. Additionally, we talk about organic – what that means for pigs and pork, and why it's important to vote with your dollar. At the end of the day, your nutrition is a key building block of your health and happiness. It affects every aspect of your life so it's time we all reevaluate the food that we bring to the table. In this episode, you will hear: The history of Pederson's Natural Farms What makes Pederson's products different from traditional processed meat A tangible picture of humanely raised pigs Maintaining the biosecurity of farrowing farms Sourcing meat from other local farmers Organic vs. non-organic products Why you can't totally eliminate nitrite from bacon Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

Any difference in shooting a barking dog verses killing a gnat for buzzing in your ear? Pastor With No Answers Podcast partners with Tony Jones of The Reverend Hunter Podcast and Neil Dudley of Pederson Natural Farms, The Cowboy Perspective Podcast, and The Pederson Farms Podcast for an episode that will air on all three shows!Lots of "pet talk," (can you leave a dog in the kennel all day? can you let your cat die instead of paying the vet $1000 to save her?) lots of animal and human life talk. Tony loves hunting and Neil's farm kills 1500 pigs every week, yet both have yet to be desensitized by the loss of life for the little piggies turned bacon on Neil's farm, or for Bambi's mom that Tony's bullet met right before she fell to her death. What's the "eye lash rule" of killing animals? Has Walmart contributed to a societal flippancy towards buying and eating meat? What does "humane treatment" of animals mean anyway, and why isn't Tony a fan of that terminology? Is this something Christians should talk more about, consider more deeply? As a Christian, what are some of Neil's convictions about the treatment of animals when running a farm? Does he look after the animals' best interest in the process of "harvesting" them? Would it be unchristian not to?Can there even be any moral implications for going around killing plants and animals, if God doesn't exist? And in that case, does this conversation even matter?Tony Jones // The Reverend Hunter Podcast // Twitter Neil Dudley // Pederson Natural Farms // The Cowboy Perspective Podcast // The Pederson Farms Podcast Joey Svendsen / Instagram / Twitter / FacebookBear W/ Community (a community for PWNA patrons)Read About / Join Bear W// Community VideoRaffle and Welcome Packet Raffle Welcome PacketUpdates via Remind App (or text @Bearwit to 81010) Socials / Connect (open to all):PWNA Discussion Facebook Group Podcast WebsiteYouTube Tik TokE-mail us for correspondence.ThanksTheme song, courtesy of Derek MinorOther music originally composed by Joel Hamilton and Joel Hamilton + friends.Andrew Holder sound engineers, mixes, and helps with overall production.E-mail him here for all your podcast needs.
