BETTER MEAT : Is there such a thing?
Saying there is a thing called “better meat” suggests that there is something that is of lesser quality or worse, right? Or even that there might be a “best” meat.
Of course, this is all subjective. But what makes meat good or bad? We all have preferences and price expectations, monetary constraints and values that govern our decision making. We often try to choose what is in our best interest, but we also have to choose trade offs, which are based on some of these microeconomic factors.
We could argue all day every day about what is better, but there will always be tradeoffs that produce different outcomes. Then the question becomes…what outcomes do we desire? In our personal lives and in society. What percentage of those outcomes can we really control? And no matter what we decide…we must always consider, cui bono? Who benefits?
We can assume the answer to that, but we still have to eat. Many of us want to eat better food and what "better" means to each of us might be different, but maybe we can find common ground and quit lumping all meat into a good or bad category.

Who's Running The Show?
Hey. I'm Michele. I've spent decades preparing healthy food (as a chef), growing healthy food (as a permaculture farmer) and teaching people how to prepare food in a way that supports the overall health of the body (as a wellness educator), and also teaching people how to support the health of our environment and economy (with an MBA in Sustainable Business).
I like healthy food and living a healthy life, and if you're here, I bet you do too.
But, if you're like me, you've probably eaten food that you thought was healthy, and probably didn't think it was slowly compromising your health, the environment and your wallet. I don't mean to be dramatic. However, food is expensive, and there is no denying that many foods contain chemicals, additives, preservatives, genetically engineered ingredients that have been proven by science to be toxic to humans, or at best, not beneficial to good health, embedded deep within the framework of our food supply chain.
That's what Food Slain is about. It's about peeling back the layers of obfuscation, misinformation, marketing gibberish and straight up untruths, that have become embedded within our food supply chain - and not just in the United States, but around the world. The more we know, the better decisions we can make on the plate for ourselves and our loved ones, and I hope you'll come along for the ride.
