DEBUNKING THE MYTHS OF BEEF AG

  • Vinnie welcomes Natalie and Tara whose families both run a cattle ranch and dairy farm, respectively. (3:00)
    • Each explains their experience growing up in the family-owned farming business, as well as their additional education outside of it.
    • Farming is not for wimps; there is continuous hard work involved.
  • Tara explains what is involved in nutrition for dairy cattle, and how well they are tended to—a comfortable cow means more milk. (15:30)
    • Their cows get milked twice a day for 8 minutes each time.
    • Health checks happen on a frequent, regular basis.
  • They explain what certain packaging claims mean, and how some are marketing tactics. (20:00)
  • Natalie explains cattle ranching and the difference between “segmented” (having multiple owners for each phase), versus “vertically integrated” (one owner through all phases). (22:00)
  • There is a massive misunderstanding of cattle’s contribution to any sort of greenhouse gasses and the nonsensical “science” behind it. (28:00)
    • Ruminants are necessary for the environmental fortification of pastures.
    • They discuss the lies various groups put out on social media and how younger generations are specifically targeted. (40:00)
    • People, especially youth, are particularly susceptible because they are on social media all day and get blitzed by loads of misinformation.
  • Vinnie emphasizes that this kind of politicization of things is not new; however, the difficulty is in the amount of screen time everyone puts in now. (47:00)
    • Kids are growing up not experiencing real life, but having it all fed to them through a tiny screen. (51:00)
    • It also adds to the anxiety of people in society and how life is handled (or not handled).
    • Pop culture plays a big role in the “meat is bad” messaging as well.

MORE TRUTHS

  • There are plenty of positive things about cattle & dairy farming as well. (53:30)
    • They provide basic nutrition for billions of people across the world.
    • Ruminants grazing reduces “fuel” for wildfires.
    • Ruminants are way more than just cattle; they are necessary for the environment!
  • Natalie and Tara explain the differences in labeling of organic, grass-fed, and finished, and how each applies to beef and dairy products. (55:50)
    • If you have very specific preferences for what you prefer (such as fed non-GMO grains), they recommend going to a smaller local farmer. 
  • They discuss carbon footprint percentages and how the combination of agriculture and forestry actually reduces percentages. (1:05:00)
    • It’s so important to debunk these myths because they will affect the nutrition of billions of people.
  • They discuss the misconception that things like vegan leathers are better; those products are plastics, which means they are petroleum based. (1:08:00)
