Podcasts about Veggies

Nationally known gardening expert Melinda Myers joins us to talk about how to get the best out of your garden. Then Wisconsin grillers Mad Dog and Merrill join in with tips on how to grill vegetables.

Back when Elon Musk was challenging Mark Zuckerberg to a cage fight, Eugen Rochko was building an open-source, non-problematic Twitter alternative, completely without fanfare. Last year, the Mastodon founder announced his departure from the head of the social media platform in a candid blog post, citing a growing discomfort with the role and an interest in preserving the site's decentralised values. But Mastodon lives on, and – full disclosure – we're all for it. This week, we spoke to Eugen about his dreams for the “fediverse” and about whether his vision for ethical, supervillain-free online communities has a promising future. In fact, we enjoyed the conversation so much that we're releasing a longer version for supporters of the podcast.   Also in this episode: a compromise in Europe's War on Veggie Burgers and the end of the decade-long Iceland-the-country-versus-Iceland-the-grocery-store dispute.   Resources for this episode:   “‘Veggie burgers' are here to stay.

The importance of asking for help.

Caden and Patrick run Cable Family Farm in Piedmont, North Carolina, where they manage a small 80 bed no-till market garden along with pasture-raised eggs and chickens. Caden started the farm at 18, and then a few years later was able to convince Patrick to join him. Their main concern starting the farm was how would they make money? This tour shows how they produce their crops and animals in a healthy, sustainable way, along with their marketing and production approach to creating a viable small-scale farm production. It was fascinating and productive to hear from these young farmers how they approach farming, why their not organic, the systems they run to stay viable and efficient, and understanding why they chose this career path over everything else (hint, farming food can be incredibly meaningful).

Kevin and Michelle are feeling punchy after a long, dreary winter, and it shows. What starts as cold remedies (ginger, garlic, lemon, honey, and a serious kick of cayenne) turns into a fiery, flavour-packed conversation about one of Kevin's favourite appetizers: Bang Bang Cauliflower.In this episode, Kevin walks through his easy, three-step recipe for crispy, spicy cauliflower bites made with maple syrup, sambal oelek, and panko, perfect for the air fryer or oven. Michelle shares her own buffalo cauliflower variation using chickpea flour and a powerhouse spice blend inspired by Dr. Greger's approach to plant-based nutrition.But this isn't just about flavour. The duo dives into the science behind cruciferous (yes, Kevin's favourite word) vegetables.

Ryan has an important question for the audience. Plus, more dating rants.

If you’re trying to lose weight, manage stress, or just feel better in your body, this episode connects the dots between what’s on your plate and how you actually feel. This week on The Nutrition Couch: A viral article claims cottage cheese, berries and seeds are the “best breakfast for weight loss.” We unpack whether it’s genuinely superior — or just smart marketing. Plus, a major Australian dataset of over 45,000 people has found a strong link between higher fruit and vegetable intake and lower psychological distress. Women in particular saw greater benefits at higher vegetable serves. We break down: Why protein + fibre still matters at breakfast Whether cottage cheese is worth the hype The gut–brain connection and mood regulation How many veggie serves actually make a difference The sugary drink–depression link A new high-protein Coles Perform barramundi option And the viral “Japanese cheesecake” trend (and why it’s not actually cheesecake) If you want simple, science-backed ways to support fat loss, mood and energy — without extremes — this one’s for you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Your dinner plate is ground zero for the next battle for free speech. Meet Florida House Bill 433. This legislation is attempting to expand food disparagement regulations - making it one of the broadest of its kind in the country. Food disparagement laws make it illegal to knowingly make false statements about perishable food products - such as meat, dairy, fruits and vegetables, etc. This is intended to protect the agricultural industry and food producers from claims that could cause financial harm. These food disparagement laws are commonly referred to as “veggie libel laws” because they are often used against animal rights and vegetarian activists. Essentially, Florida took one look at veggie liable laws and said hold my beer. House bill 433 will broaden their current food disparagement laws. This legislation removes the word perishable from the law. It also adds protection for agricultural practices used in producing food products. This means it would apply to all food products - not just food that is perishable. Many fear this would give Big Sugar or makers of processed food companies near unlimited power to squash criticism of their products. The mere threat of a lawsuit is enough to chill the free speech of activists, influencers, journalists and anyone else who might want to warn or educate others on the potential harm of unhealthy foods. *** Thanks for listening to Overnight Opinions, a recurring news show on topics the mainstream media isn't telling you.

When the idea of a community-owned grocery store begins to take root, it rarely starts with shelves and shopping carts. Instead, it starts with neighbors — people who believe food can connect a community more deeply than any national chain ever could. That belief sits at the heart of the Winchester Co-Op Market, a grassroots effort working to bring a member-owned grocery store to the city. During this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael reconnects with board leaders Michael Daryabeygi, vice president, and Christina McCarthy, board secretary, to explore where the project stands, how cooperatives work, and why now is the right moment for Winchester to embrace this model. A Model Rooted in Cooperation Michael's passion for cooperatives began long before the Winchester project. Having previously worked at the Takoma Park–Silver Spring Food Co-Op, he saw firsthand how cooperative businesses respond directly to the needs of the communities they serve. Unlike traditional grocery stores, food co-ops operate under a democratic ownership model. Members aren't just customers — they are owners and voters, guiding major decisions that shape the organization's future. Christina expands on that idea, explaining that cooperatives are not new or experimental. In fact, they've existed for centuries across cultures and continents. From farming cooperatives to credit unions, the model thrives on shared resources and collective decision-making. Although the Winchester Co-Op Market is not a nonprofit, it is a "not-for-profit" business — meaning profits remain local and benefit the community rather than distant shareholders. Why Winchester — and Why Now Winchester's agricultural heritage plays a major role in the project's momentum. Both Michael and Christina see renewed interest in local farming, regional food systems, and sustainable purchasing habits. As consumers increasingly question where their food comes from, the co-op offers an alternative — one that supports local growers, producers, and makers while strengthening the local economy. Janet compares the vision to open-air markets found throughout Europe: places where food shopping feels personal, local, and deeply connected to community life. While the Winchester Co-Op won't mirror those markets exactly, the spirit remains the same — neighbors supporting neighbors. Building a Grocery Store Takes More Than Good Intentions Starting a cooperative is not a quick or simple process. Christina makes it clear that this isn't something that happens over a few planning meetings. The board follows a national startup framework supported by the Food Co-Op Initiative, which emphasizes long-term sustainability over speed. Across the country, some cooperatives spend years building membership before opening their doors. The Winchester group has already developed a strategic plan — a detailed roadmap outlining membership goals, timelines, feasibility studies, and funding benchmarks. That plan guides every step forward. Importantly, the effort remains entirely volunteer-driven. "No one's getting paid," Christina explains. Board members donate their time, skills, and energy because they believe deeply in what the co-op can mean for the community. Membership: The Engine That Moves Everything Forward At this stage, membership is the foundation of the entire project. A Winchester Co-Op membership is a one-time $200 household investment. Each household receives one vote, reinforcing the democratic structure of the organization. Members help decide everything from product priorities to how profits are eventually reinvested into the community. Membership funds don't build shelves yet — they build credibility. These dollars support feasibility studies, professional consultants, market research, and planning expertise. Just as importantly, they demonstrate community buy-in to lenders and partners evaluating the project's viability. Christina emphasizes that you don't have to be a member to shop at the store once it opens. Membership simply allows residents to shape the vision and guide decisions. Strength in Numbers While $200 may seem small on its own, collective participation creates real momentum. Janet draws a parallel to community fundraising models — where individual contributions add up quickly when hundreds of people believe in the same goal. The co-op relies on that exact principle. The response so far has been encouraging. Community picnics and informational events have drawn stronger attendance than expected, fueling both enthusiasm and confidence. Even supporters from outside the region have joined — including former residents and seasonal visitors who want to invest in Winchester's future. Volunteers: The Heart of the Movement Not everyone can afford membership — and the board understands that. Volunteers play an equally vital role. At this stage, the co-op relies on community members willing to help spread the word, attend events, and lend professional skills when possible. From marketing and planning to outreach and research, every contribution matters. To support this next phase, the organization is preparing for a volunteer recruitment fair in February, preceded by two major educational events in January. Learning from a National Voice To help residents better understand cooperatives, the Winchester Co-Op Market is welcoming Jon Steinman, author of Grocery Story: The Promise of Food Co-Ops in the Age of Grocery Giants. Steinman brings international experience, having served as an elected director of Canada's largest consumer retail co-op. His work explores how food systems evolved — and how communities can reclaim them. Two events will anchor his visit: January 27: A volunteer training session designed to help advocates clearly explain the co-op model January 28: A public community talk at Winchester Brew Works, open to anyone curious about cooperatives Both events emphasize conversation, education, and community connection — complete with shared food and local collaboration. Creating Community Through Food Beyond logistics and planning, one theme echoes throughout the conversation: connection. Christina describes cooperatives as places with a distinct feel — a different energy, smell, and rhythm than traditional grocery stores. They are spaces where food becomes a gathering point, not just a transaction. Michael adds that co-ops across the country form a tight-knit network, sharing lessons and supporting one another's growth. Winchester's effort is part of something much larger — a national movement focused on rebuilding local food systems. Staying Informed and Getting Involved For residents interested in following the journey, the Winchester Co-Op Market offers multiple entry points: Membership opportunities Volunteer sign-ups Educational events A regularly published newsletter cleverly titled "The Local Beets" The newsletter shares project updates, explains cooperative principles, and highlights how local food choices can impact families and communities.  A Vision Built Together As the conversation closes, one message rings especially clear: this project isn't about groceries alone. It's about preserving local identity. It's about keeping dollars circulating close to home. And it's about giving Winchester residents a voice in how their food system works. The Winchester Co-Op Market remains a work in progress — but with growing membership, dedicated volunteers, and strong community interest, the foundation is firmly in place.

You know that lull that comes after a glut of fresh produce from your home garden? With certain planting techniques, you can create a garden that produces different vegetables, fruits and herbs to harvest throughout the entire season, with no gaps.

"Eat your veggies.” That's an order many of us have grown up with. But now a deli in Cornwall in the U.K. wants to have its veggies and eat it too. And let no one else have any.

Issues with bloating from vegetables, good biceps exercises to focus on, are behind-the-neck presses dangerous or very effective...or both? And some funny and horrifying videos including the most wild grill session ever.

We've reached the end of 2025, so we thought it's a good time to answer questions from the Holy Post community. Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn cover a wide assortment of issues, from how they decompress after a difficult podcast, and how they pick which politicians to interview, to their favorite movies, and who is best at changing a tire. They also tackle theological questions about the nature of grace, the limitations we will still have in the new creation, and why demons may not be fallen angels. They also give their predictions for 2026. Along the way, Phil has weird ideas about hair, Skye wants to be a mango, and Kaitlyn makes a big announcement.
