Can meat production build soil, revitalize ecosystems, improve our health, and taste amazing? Absolutely!
This is a meaty episode (pun-intended) packed with intriguing stories from mean-industry disrupter and former vegetarian Glen Burrows of The Ethical Butcher.
We discuss how identity and belonging are often attached to dietary choices. Glen talks about his transition from an “absolutist”, dogmatic mindset into a more nuanced approach to understanding the food system.
Next, we explore the divorce of livestock from crop production in conventional agriculture and how regenerative farms aim to reconnect these ecological links.
Glen explains a bit about the food scene in the UK and tells us an incredible story of his visit to a chemically-intensive conventional farm with dead lifeless sand-like soil directly adjacent to a regenerative ranch with soil like “cool wet chocolate cake”.
He compares the “craft beer” and “single origin coffee” scene to his vision of a new trend for regional “terroir” in regenerative meat. He discusses how generic meat products vs “craft” products are differentiated by the care and ethics used to produce those animals and tend that land. #craftmeatrevolution anyone?
Glen digs into the difference between “grass fed” and “pasture fed” is the diversity of plants being consumed by the animal.
Lastly, we explore Glen’s surprising vision for hope in the food system and healing the Earth and our bodies in conjunction.
The Ethical Butcher is on a mission to reconnect people with nature through the highest quality, ethically-sourced meats. This brand is so unique because much of the business is owned by farmers who needed a better route to market for their rare-breed, 100% pasture-raised, regeneratively-raised meat.
