FARMING HISTORY IN RECENT YEARS

  • Vinnie leads the show with the iconic voice-over talent of Sam Elliott and introduces Texas Slim, the founder of The Beef Initiative.
  • The Beef Initiative is a way to find out more about how to source your animal protein through local sources and learn more about where your food comes from.
  • Vinnie and Slim discuss how there has been a shift in information; as a result, there is variance between what some call “my truth” and absolutes, especially in the food industry.
  • Vinnie gives a great example of building a kayak as what is meant by “absolute”.
  • Texas Slim gives a summary of the recent farming industry that has led to today’s factory farming and its negative aspects.
  • Slim explains the growth of mono-cropping and what it has done to our food supply.
  • Vinnie recounts how in the 1970s the food industry shifted to using things like high fructose corn syrup.
  • They then discuss a little of their personal histories and how it has led to being great observers.

LOCAL SOURCING

  • Not everyone has access to locally sourced meat, but if you can do it, it’s a great option.
  • Many factory farms feed their animals with grains treated with chemicals and the animals are treated with hormones.
  • Vinnie and  Texas Slim discuss the many benefits of knowing where your animal protein comes from.
  • Price manipulation and labeling laws of many meat products make it difficult to know where your food comes from.
  • Texas Slim has some recommendations on how to contact a local rancher, communicate with them, learn from them, and get great products.
