Summer is here - we enter the long days and sultry nights with the garden looking glorious - but always looking to the horizon for a little bit of rain to keep things looking green and lush. Herbaceous borders are set to maximum colour, vegetable beds seem to multiply in growth weekly and the gardener's tan is ever present. So enjoy the long summer days, take some time to appreciate time in your garden and join the Talking Heads pair as they continue to look after their planty spaces, as well as enjoying their gardens at home.Wow it is dry out there and the temperatures are well above the norm for long periods - so both Lucy and Saul are, to say the least, continuing in good British form - 'mad dogs and Englishmen' comes to mind. Gardening still needs to be done though - if just the watering - so Lucy has been continuing to shape her client's plots and Saul has spent almost 12 days getting ready and then half-wilting at RHS Badminton - so listen in to find out how that goes - and if the worse happens at least we can all go for a dip in Lucy's new hottub!Instagram links:Lucy lucychamberlaingardensSaul plantsmansaulIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the show

I don't know about you, listeners, but what stands out to me in this episode is not the shock of torturing old man corn (see what I did there?), not the insightful political commentary on the violence of the carceral state, not Emily's medium quality explanation of the concept of tyranny of the majority, but the fact that they mentioned the 2016 black comedy Sausage Party so many times without getting the title of the movie right even once. Emily and Ky are for the streets, so that's where they're recording (recorning?). Get tucked in like cute little peas in a pod, envision the streets of Tribeca, and tune in!

120 million people are under air quality alerts, stretching from the upper Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic, due to smoke from Canadian wildfires. Also, President Trump is set to deliver a rare prime-time speech tonight and is expected to address 2020 election allegations and mixed messaging from the administration on ICE measures. Plus, a new A&E documentary out today on the infamous Scott Peterson case claims to have new evidence that proves the convicted killer is innocent. And, as cyclosporiasis reaches more then 16,000 confirmed cases, tips on how make sure your food is safe.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Most corporate wellness programs are built on a fundamental flaw: paying people to do something they already want to do. If you have to incentivize an employee to drink a glass of water, you have muddied the water and completely missed the point of true wellness. In 2026, the traditional carrot-and-stick approach to wellness is a failing strategy.My guest, Brittany Nelson, joins me to discuss how to rescue employers from the "golden handcuffs" of outdated wellness vendors. Brittany shares her journey from working on a Toyota assembly line to becoming a Registered Dietitian and Certified Health Value Professional. We discuss why tracking VOI (Value on Investment) is replacing ROI, why EAP utilization hovering at 2% is actually a massive red flag, and how to restructure plan designs to remove useless premium differentials. If you want to stop checking boxes and start building a real culture of well-being for your clients, this episode will change the way you approach population health.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callcompletegameu.com/agaTimestamped Outline(00:00) Welcome Aboard: Introducing Brittany Nelson and the Evolution of Corporate Wellness(01:21) From the Toyota Assembly Line to Registered Dietitian(03:00) The Shift to Insurance: Scaling Clinical Expertise from One-on-One to One-to-Many(04:22) The "Fluff" of Wellness: Why CFOs Demand Quantitative Metrics Over Testimonials(05:54) Why Traditional Wellness Fails: The Problem with Paying People to be Healthy(08:08) The "Golden Handcuffs": How Employers Get Trapped in Unproductive Vendor Spend(10:23) Unwinding the Trap: Strategic Steps to Lowering Investment and Boosting Value (VOI)(12:56) Culture vs. Program: Why Free Time is the Best Wellness Incentive(15:46) The Goal of Participation: When Simple Incentives Actually Work(17:28) Start with the Why: Aligning Wellness with Corporate Core Values(19:54) Designing a 2026 Wellness Strategy: Measuring What Matters and Using AI(22:45) The Accountability Factor: Moving Beyond the "10,000 Step Tracker on a Dog" Joke(24:06) The Mental Health Misconception: Why 2% EAP Utilization is a Major Problem(26:01) Rebranding Free Counseling: Removing the Stigma and Testing Your Own EAP(30:31) The Flaw of Vendor-Generated Reports: Understanding Regression to the Mean(32:41) Consumer Healthcare Education: Shifting Focus from Vegetables to EOBs(34:11) Brittany's Lightning Round: The 36-Year-Old "Son," Hotworx Barre, and Dragon FictionCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

If you've grown tomatoes or peppers for more than one season, you more than likely know the feeling been waiting that first tomato to ripen, finally see it's blushing red, and you flip it over to find a sunken, leathery patch covering half the bottom of the fruit. And if you went looking for answers, you probably found three of them repeated everywhere you turned: sprinkle in some crushed eggshells, spray on some calcium, add a scoop of Epsom salt. All three of those are extremely common advice. Two of them do close to nothing. And one of them can genuinely make the problem worse. That problem? Blossom end rot. Today on Just Grow Something we're covering what blossom end rot really is at the cellular level, the conditions that trigger it in your garden, why the most popular home remedies for it are built on a total misunderstanding of the problem, and what the research consistently recommends instead.

Consistency sounds boring until you realize it's the fastest path to trust and the easiest way to spot what's broken. In this CX Pulse Check episode, Jeannie Walters is joined by Nick Westergaard, host of the On Brand podcast and author of Brand Now and Get Scrappy, to look at what actually moves the needle in customer experience (CX) and brand building when attention is scarce and expectations are high.We dig into why major brands point to reliable basics as the key to their turnarounds: better training, smoother checkout, smarter inventory, and fewer “almost good enough” moments. Nick shares a simple mental model for this kind of work: stop chasing one huge “wow” and start raising the floor everywhere. When customers know what to expect, they don't just come back, they give you more grace when something goes wrong.Then we zoom in on neuroscience and cognitive load, the hidden force behind friction. Customers live in constant partial attention, and every extra step, confusing choice, or unnecessary question drains their mental energy. We talk about why simplification often beats adding features, how AI customer service earned distrust through bad early experiences, and what it takes to use automation without getting in the way.We close with brand storytelling and cultural moments, including what we can learn from campaigns that hit at the right time and why even a small change like a Spotify icon can spark big feelings in a deeply personal product. If you want a sharper CX strategy, better customer journey design, and a clearer brand experience, hit play, subscribe, and share this with someone who owns a form, a flow, or a brand decision.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Ayabonga Cawe, Chief Commissioner of the International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC), about the Commission's decision to keep the import duty on frozen mixed vegetables unchanged at 10%. Despite calls from local producers for a sharp increase in tariffs, ITAC concluded that higher duties would raise food costs for consumers, particularly lower-income households while offering only limited support to domestic producers.

Welcome to Episode 666 of the Veg Grower Podcast. This week Richard has been juggling warm, humid weather, kitchen‑garden pruning, allotment challenges, and an exciting new project helping a young couple start their very first vegetable garden. It's a classic midsummer mix of maintenance, problem‑solving and inspiration. Here's what's been happening. In the Kitchen Garden The week began with early‑morning gardening sessions — the only time cool enough to work comfortably. Richard has been potting on cucumbers, cabbages, cauliflowers and kale, watering in the mornings to reduce slug activity, and making steady progress despite the heat. Grapevine Pruning A major job this week was pruning and training the productive grapevine. Richard explains how careful thinning improves fruit size and airflow, and shares his experiment with a Bramley apple grown from seed and trained as a step‑over tree. It's decorative, compact, and a fun long‑term project. Water Conservation A new rainwater collection system has been attached to the greenhouse, along with an additional water butt. With rainfall scarce, every drop counts. Down the Allotment Warm, humid weather has made allotment visits tricky, but straw mulch continues to keep beds moist and plants healthy. Richard has been heading down early at weekends to stay on top of jobs. Potato Problems A late frost in early May killed the foliage of the first‑early potatoes, and the harvest has been disappointing — only enough for a couple of meals from a whole bed. Richard reflects on how weather extremes affect yields and why growing your own food matters more than ever. Mixed Harvests Despite the potato setback, other crops have been more encouraging: Broad beans Courgettes Overwintered onions (small but usable) Rhubarb Tomatoes from the greenhouse Broad bean plants have been cut back, with roots left in the soil to return nitrogen. Straw Mulch: Still the Hero Straw mulch has once again proved invaluable, keeping potatoes and other crops less stressed and prompting Richard to buy another bale to replace what's been used. Recipe of the Week Warm Summer Cabbage & Herb Pan‑Fry This week's recipe is a simple, delicious cabbage dish perfect as a barbecue side. Finely shredded cabbage is sautéed with onions, garlic, wholegrain mustard, butter and fresh herbs. Quick cooking keeps it sweet, and it's a great way to use summer cabbage A New Vegetable Garden Project One of the most exciting parts of this week's episode is the start of a brand‑new edible garden for Lisa and Alistair, who have just moved into a house with a large front garden. Richard visited to help them plan their first vegetable patch, offering guidance on: Clearing and reorganising an overgrown compost area Removing unwanted trees Preparing a 10×20 metre vegetable area Planning for a greenhouse Installing sunk IBC water tanks Building raised beds (possibly from reclaimed sleepers) Garden designers John and Bryony will help shape the layout, and Richard will be checking in monthly to track progress. Listeners can follow the project on Instagram at Rooted at Belvedere.

Summer is now at its peak, so naturally her thoughts are focused on how to create recipes with all those homegrown fruit, veg and herbs.

To grow Asparagus, you'll truly need a real garden bed. Nice and deep, preferably raised if you have wet soils in winter – at least 20cm above the soil level, but 30cm is even better. I planted my crowns about 7 years ago, bought them at Oderings Garden centre when the crowns were dormant. Plant in deep friable soil: mix soil, loam with lots of compost, add some manure (animal excrement) or sheep pellets, and dose with a good lot of lime – Asparagus likes a high pH (around 7 maybe even more). Dig it all deep (at least 30cm deep, or more if possible) so that the roots can go wandering down and side-ways with ease. I planted my new plants with the roots splayed in all directions of the compass (star-shaped). About 10cm deep, rows about 50cm apart, and the plants spaced around 40cm in the rows. They're covered with friable soil that will warm up in spring, waking the plants and starting their growth. Don't let the plants dry out in winter – keep them moist but not soaking wet! We had a good growth of ferns – let them go. They even produced heaps of bright red berries! And the weeds tried to establish themselves in-between the asparagus plants, but I more-or-less kept on top of them because they are weeds! Not always though! A trick: I did get into the habit of inter-planting with thin onions and Egyptian walking onions – let these interlopers find their spot in between the asparagus. In spring the main crop will come up and give us asparagus, but in summer, autumn, and even winter, the onions will take over when the asparagus retreat with their huge flowering and elegant, tall stems ready to go down. And there is no competition amongst that lot of vegetables! Now, mid-winter stuff to do: Get rid of all the last weeds (as much as you can). I will also cut off the old brown asparagus fern-fronds and take them off the bed, trying not to spill too many red berries – I don't want any more seedlings/new plants in the asparagus bed as it will get too overcrowded too soon. Best to let the original plants develop for at least three-four years, so they keep producing for a long, long time to come. Once the bed is cleared, line it a bit then top up with a fresh layer of organic compost —nice dark compost-y stuff— and some Nitrophoska Blue. Asparagus likes that! They also like some animal manure (I got the Halswell Quarry sheep well-trained!) and even some salty (unwashed) seaweed if you can find it somewhere. Just lay that over the top and in spring the spears will burst through the compostables… There's nothing better than fresh asparagus! Followed by fresh onions and other stuff in the bed.

It's two o'clock on a July afternoon. You walk out to check the garden, and your squash leaves are drooping so low they're nearly touching the mulch. Your tomato plants look like they've given up on the whole season. If your first thought, every single time, is “I need to water right now,” hold on a second before you grab that hose. Because that dramatic afternoon collapse you're looking at likely has absolutely nothing to do with how much water is in your soil. So today on Just Grow Something we're covering three things: what's actually happening inside a plant's cells when the temperature spikes, the specific ways to tell heat stress wilting apart from drought stress wilting, and what heat stress does beyond the leaves, because your tomatoes and peppers and squash can look perfectly fine and still be failing to set fruit, and that's a heat problem too. Let's dig in. Join the Fall Garden Challenge: https://justgrowsomethingpodcast.com/fall References and Resources: Graci, S., & Barone, A. (2024).

Wisdom Calls: Without Wisdom Our Nation Runs on Fumes (Part 1) Proverbs 1As you settle into bed, you pick up your phone for a quick scroll. Your intentions are harmless. You just want to catch up on the world or maybe even learn something new. “Cut off your toxic friends immediately,” one influencer demands. You swipe. “Vegetables are actually inflammatory and will give you arthritis,” claims a self-appointed nutrition expert. One more scroll, you tell yourself, only to be reminded by another influencer to reduce your screen time. With a sigh, you set your alarm. That's enough advice for one night. Our world is convinced it has the answers. Advice is offered freely, loudly, and constantly to anyone willing to listen. But where does true and lasting wisdom come from? Join us this Sunday as we begin our new series in the book of Proverbs, seeking to gain wisdom from the One who created us.

This week's Open Mic guest is Mike Joyner, President of the Florida Fruit and Vegetable Association. At a time when more Americans are turning more health conscious by adding fruits and vegetables to their diets, many of the nation's specialty crop growers are struggling to survive. Joyner says the volume of imports from Mexico and other countries continues to grow, depressing opportunities for domestic growers. Specialty crop growers face ongoing challenges in finding an adequate workforce and support legislative efforts to revise the nation's H-2A regulations. Joyner says specialty crop growers need better crop insurance coverage options and hope future assistance programs are more equitable for fruit and vegetable farmers. 

Summer is here - we enter the long days and sultry nights with the garden looking glorious - but always looking to the horizon for a little bit of rain to keep things looking green and lush. Herbaceous borders are set to maximum colour, vegetable beds seem to multiply in growth weekly and the gardener's tan is ever present. So enjoy the long summer days, take some time to appreciate time in your garden and join the Talking Heads pair as they continue to look after their planty spaces, as well as enjoying their gardens at home.Wow, what a scorcher last week was in the UK - and beyond! Of course, this gets the weather obsessed podcast duo thinking: what will we need to do to adjust our mindset towards working in and taking pleasure trips to, gardens. A flexible mindset is key. We also pay tribute to show veg master Terry Porter, who sadly passed away in recent days. It's guaranteed that if you visited gardening shows these past few decades, you'll have seen his phenomenal work first hand.Instagram links:Lucy lucychamberlaingardensSaul plantsmansaulIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the show

It's June, your tomatoes are climbing, your corn is waist-high, and the internet is full of fertilizing advice—most of it missing the most important variable: timing. In this episode, we dig into what your vegetables need right now at mid-season, why nitrogen timing is the thing most gardeners get wrong, how fruiting crops and leafy crops have completely different needs, and when fertilizing can actually hurt instead of help. We'll cover how to read your plants for deficiency signs, how to side-dress correctly, and why the most common mid-season mistake isn't under-fertilizing—it's fertilizing at the wrong time with the wrong form. Grounded in university extension research and my own experience farming through Missouri summers, this one will give you a clear, crop-by-crop picture of what to do right now. Let's dig in. Crop-by-Crop Quick Reference: Mid-Season Nitrogen Timing LEAFY CROPS (lettuce, kale, chard, spinach, collards, arugula, basil) When to side-dress: 3–4 weeks after transplanting or when 2–3 inches tall; repeat every 4–6 weeks for heavy-harvesting crops Goal: steady nitrogen supply throughout season Note: don't exceed recommended rates—excess nitrogen increases pest/disease vulnerability COLE CROPS (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower) When to side-dress: approximately 30 days after transplanting, during active vegetative growth Hold off once head formation begins TOMATOES When to side-dress: when first fruits are approximately one-third grown (golf ball size) DO NOT apply nitrogen at transplant or during early fruit set—drives vegetative growth at expense of fruit Second application: 2 weeks after first ripe fruit; third: 4 weeks later Rate: 0.5 lb actual nitrogen per 100 feet of row per application PEPPERS When to side-dress: early vegetative growth before fruit set Pull back after fruit is setting SWEET CORN When to side-dress: when plants are approximately one-third grown (knee-high) Apply alongside rows, not into the whorl of leaves May benefit from a second application before tasseling CUCUMBERS / SQUASH / MELONS When to side-dress: after vines are well-established and fruit is setting regularly Not during early flowering window For squash with blossom drop only: do not add nitrogen—address pollination instead BEANS / PEAS (inoculated) Mid-season nitrogen side-dressing generally not needed if seeds were inoculated Extra nitrogen causes excessive leaf growth and reduced pod set If not inoculated: apply light nitrogen early in vegetative growth only Side-Dressing How-To Move mulch aside before applying; replace afterward Keep granular fertilizer 4–6 inches from plant stems to prevent burn Work granular into top 1–2 inches of soil Water in after application—nitrogen moves into the root zone with moisture Organic options: blood meal or alfalfa pellets (work in lightly; slower to show results); fish emulsion (liquid, faster uptake, more frequent application needed) Signs of Nutrient Deficiency Nitrogen: yellowing starting on oldest, lowest leaves; stunted or stalled growth Phosphorus: stunted growth; reddish-purple tint in leaf tissue (often triggered by cold soil, not low soil P) Potassium: browning at leaf edges, starting with older leaves Note: many of these symptoms overlap with stress from crowding, insufficient sun, compaction, waterlogged roots, or nematode damage—rule those out first Common Myths Addressed Myth: More fertilizer = more production. The research is clear: overapplied nitrogen causes excess vegetative growth at the expense of fruit, increases pest and disease vulnerability, and leaches into groundwater without benefiting plants. Myth: If plants look off, they need fertilizer. Nutrient deficiency symptoms look almost identical to symptoms of watering problems, compaction, pH issues, root damage, and pest pressure. Identify the actual cause before applying anything. Myth: Tomatoes need nitrogen all season long. Timing matters. Nitrogen during the early fruit-set window drives vegetative growth and reduces yields. Wait until fruit is sizing up before side-dressing. Myth: Beans and peas are heavy feeders like corn. Inoculated legumes fix their own nitrogen from the air. Additional nitrogen pushes leaf growth at the expense of pods.

Dr. Liz Graves didn't set out to become a doctor. She discovered chiropractic as a patient, fell in love with its foundational philosophy that the body heals from the inside out, and built a career around that principle. Today, as the founder of Back 2 Real Food, she helps people restore their metabolic health through food, cyclic nutrition strategies, and targeted amino acid therapy — without relying on willpower, calorie restriction alone, or one-size-fits-all dieting.In this episode, Dr. Tara Perry sits down with Dr. Graves for a wide-ranging conversation on why so many people are doing "everything right" and still can't lose weight, what the modern food system is doing to our metabolism, and the counterintuitive strategies that actually work.Key Takeaways:The real reason diets stop working (00:07:00) — Every time you diet without recovery, your body adapts to living on less, slowing your metabolism over time. Dr. Graves explains her cyclic approach: a structured window of fat loss followed by a deliberate high-calorie phase that trains the body to metabolize more, not less.Seed oils are the #1 offender in your diet (00:16:44) — Vegetable, canola, sunflower, and safflower oils disrupt cell walls, cause inflammation at the cellular level, and impair mitochondrial function. Removing them is the first and fastest win Dr. Graves makes with every new client.Three foods worth adding right now (00:19:41) — Healthy natural fats (animal fats, olive oil, coconut oil), quality mineral-rich sea salt, and more whole foods without a label. Small additions that compound into meaningful change.Know your farmer (00:21:49) — Pesticide load, not the food itself, is driving the explosion in leaky gut, celiac, and autoimmune conditions. Dr. Graves recommends the Weston A. Price Foundation as a starting point for finding local farmers and co-ops, and makes the case that buying direct is often cheaper than buying organic at a grocery store.Targeted amino acid therapy changed everything (00:26:56) — Most people have never worked with a practitioner who assesses neurotransmitter imbalances and uses amino acids to correct them. Dr. Graves explains how depleted GABA, serotonin, and dopamine pathways fuel emotional eating, overwhelm, and burnout — and how replenishing them through targeted therapy gives people the neurological resilience to stay on course.Cortisol, stress, and weight retention (00:32:41) — Chronic low-grade stress (email, notifications, relentless demands) keeps the body in protective mode, holding weight and suppressing metabolic function. Dr. Graves connects the modern stress environment to the ancestral body we're still living in, and explains why supporting the brain matters as much as fixing the food.Body composition over the scale (00:58:06) — Dr. Graves uses body composition testing (muscle, fat, water, bone) rather than BMI or scale weight to track real progress. She shares the story of a five-foot-one woman with 105 pounds of muscle who technically "should" weigh 100 pounds — and why that framing is misleading and discouraging.What results actually look like (00:47:24) — On Dr. Graves' six-week protocol, most people lose about 10 pounds and drop one clothing size. On the nine-week plan, 15 to 30 pounds and two clothing sizes. She describes it as achieving six to nine months of focused progress in six to nine weeks — structured and demanding while you're in it, but consistently described as the easiest thing clients ever did when they look back.Ready to take your own next step?Visit calendly.com/consulttara/consult to book your free customized consultation with Dr. Tara Perry and get your GPS map — the coordinates for where you are now and where you want to go.

In this episode from 2017 we turned our focus on food production in our own back yards.  The plants I will describe here are wonderful for growing in just about any environment.  And even though they are perennials most will do find in containers and wicking beds, etc.  Indeed a few are custom made for such applications though normally not grown that way. Perennials are wonderful because they either come back on their own every year or they require very minimal effort to assure their return each year.  Many are even considered weeds or a nuisance by the unknowing.  Yep … Continue reading →

In this episode, Dr. Steve Horvath maps out the science behind biological age and how aging clocks are changing the way researchers evaluate longevity interventions. He also explains why omega-3s, a daily multivitamin, and sufficient vegetable intake stand out as evidence-backed, compounding levers for shifting biological age over time. Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction (07:05) What exactly is biological aging? (12:39) Do all aging clocks measure the same thing?

(43:33) Which interventions most reliably reverse epigenetic age? (46:31) Can someone reverse biological age by 5 years in 7 months? (50:49) Can GrimAge predict when you'll die? (52:36) Why a younger GrimAge doesn't mean more years of life (57:21) What epigenetic clocks fail to capture (1:03:26) Why aging clocks measure more than just inflammation (1:06:02) Does younger blood rejuvenate the whole body? (1:09:52) Can calorie restriction really slow biological aging? (1:14:00) Do GLP-1 drugs reverse epigenetic age? (1:17:29) Can a daily multivitamin slow epigenetic aging? (1:26:11) Omega-3, vitamin D, and exercise—which slows aging best? (1:34:01) Does correcting vitamin D deficiency reverse age acceleration? (1:36:29) Vegetables vs. exercise—which matters more for epigenetic age? (1:42:04) Does red meat accelerate epigenetic aging? (1:43:44) How much exercise is needed to slow epigenetic aging? (1:51:05) Can heat exposure mimic exercise? (1:52:29) Does a lower core body temperature slow aging? (1:54:54) How sleep disruption shows up on aging clocks (1:56:25) The role of social connection in biological aging (2:02:55) Are consumer biological age tests worth it? (2:07:52) How to choose a reliable biological age test (2:12:38) Why two epigenetic age tests might give different results (2:17:27) Can AI build better aging clocks?

[9, 10]Gates' Involvement: BEV led ArkeaBio's $12 million seed round in 2022 and subsequently spearheaded a $26.5 million Series A funding round in 2024 to accelerate the vaccine's development. Beyond Meat (Early Investor / Stake Sold)Bill Gates was a critical early backer of Beyond Meat ($BYND), but no longer holds shares.  Eat Just (Early Investor) Bill Gates was an early institutional investor in Eat Just (formerly Hampton Creek).  The Technology: Known for its plant-based "JUST Egg" made from mung beans, as well as its cell-cultured meat division, GOOD Meat.Gates' Involvement: Gates provided prominent early-stage funding to the startup and historically singled out Eat Just as one of the key companies shaping the future of global food production.  Apeel Sciences (“Philanthropic”)Bill Gates does not own equity in Apeel Sciences, despite widespread internet rumors suggesting otherwise. [23, 24]The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation provided early research grants totaling $1.1 million in 2012 and 2015 to help Apeel develop solutions for farmers in developing regions lacking refrigeration infrastructure. Gates holds no personal ownership stake, board seat, or operational control over the company.But, God designed us to eat meatSama Hoole created a great listThe Bible mentions beef 133 times.Lamb 98 times.Fish 70 times.Raw milk and butter 48 times.Honey 56 times.Vegetables, 10.The fattened calf was killed for the prodigal son's return.

Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.1 Timothy 4:1-44 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. 4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,
