Buying Better Beef

  • Will Harris is a farmer and agricultural expert. (3:00)https://whiteoakpastures.com/pages/our-team

    • Four leading companies handle meat production in the U.S. (4:30)
  • He previously practiced industrial farming and, after 20 years, has transitioned to regenerative agriculture. (14:00)
    • Switching to regenerative farming was a financially risky and challenging decision, but his farm has survived.  (23:00)
  • Large beef companies are allowed to import products from 20 other countries and still label them as products of the USA, under USDA labeling rules. (32:00)
  • The labeling rules changed in 2015 through lobbying by major beef corporations. (34:00)
  • Lobbying is rarely fair or reasonable because companies with deep pockets tend to prevail. (36:00)
  • They discuss the new Food Pyramid. (39:00)

Statins Aren’t A Cure – Episode 2079

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2079 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk taco bowls recipes, the importance of spice, how STATINS aren’t a cure, finding thorough medical care, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

TACO BOWLS

  • Check out the video of this podcast on YouTube.
  • You can watch Anna make a taco bowl.
  • She’s using the whole hour, but really it only takes 15-20 minutes to make.
  • Don’t drain the liquid off of your meat.
    • Get all that good fat! 
    • 75/25 grass fed ground beef is the way to go.
  • Taco bowls/salads are a great, easy and flavorful meal.
    • Vinnie likes them in the morning, too.
  • Anna makes her own salsa for these bowls.
  • And her own taco seasoning!
  • Spices will keep your meals interesting.
  • She starts with olive oil to cook her veggies — if she’s just doing the meat, she won’t add oil first.
  • Radishes can give you some crunch.

STATINS AREN’T A CURE

  • Vinnie would suggest trying to find a doctor who will help you avoid STATINS.
  • There is so much misinformation about cholesterol numbers out there and what constitutes healthy cholesterol numbers.
  • You need cholesterol, and having a high number isn’t necessarily a bad thing.  
    • In fact, your brain needs cholesterol to function — or it will make more!
  • If you really wanna figure out if your cholesterol is good, ‘total cholesterol’ is not the number to look at.
    • A good ratio is very important!
  • Doctors then push STATINS on people without looking further into their numbers.
    • They’re even prescribing them prophylactically.
      • Even great doctors do this, they’re just following the charts.
  • STATINS might keep your cholesterol artificially in a ‘good’ range, but it’s a Band-Aid — not a cure.

Good Beef Sources & More – Episode 1964

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1964 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich play some good ’60s tunes and talk good beef sources, ketone levels, BS diet plans, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

’60S TUNES

  • Vinnie and Anna both really like music from the ’60s.
  • But Vinnie prefers the ’70s.
  • They played a lot of good tunes on this show, like some Buffalo Springfield.
  • If you’re reading these notes on YouTube, check out this show on another platform so you can hear the good tunes.

GOOD BEEF SOURCES

  • As you know, Belcampo is no longer a sponsor.
  • Vinnie always had great service from them — he loved 
  • Hopefully, they come back under a new name.
  • Vinnie suggests you go look in your community and find a farm form which you can buy beef directly.
  • Or, find a freestanding butcher.
  • Some grocery stores even have high quality meat departments.
    • This is probably the most affordable option, unless you go in on half of a cow with someone, or something like that.
    • You don’t need to shop at Whole Foods to find this.
    • Plus, some grocery stores with good beef will have sales — Harris Teeter in VA does this.
  • Grass-fed or regular can both be good.
  • Buy what you can afford! This is most important.
  • You can do this lifestyle affordably.
  • Anna likes Ancestral Meats, Simple Meats, Carpenter Farms.
  • Or, if you have friends who hunt, see if you can get some deer meat.

BS DIET PLANS

  • Don’t buy into diet plans.
  • You don’t need to spend extra money each week to eat.
  • Vinnie could monetize this and turn it into a full-on diet plan, but he would not do that.
  • Eat clean — stick to simple tenets — and your body will begin to heal.
