Episode #269: Why Beef Prices Keep Rising, America's Shrinking Herd, and the Cost of Overgrazing
Leave Us A Voicemail Dr. Sina McCullough and Farmer Joel Salatin examine why beef prices remain high even as the federal government expands tariff-free imports. Joel traces the crisis from America's shrinking cattle herd and degraded pastures to crop subsidies, aging ranchers, and short-term political fixes that can leave farmers holding calves they cannot afford to feed. Together, they explore how regenerative grazing, water retention, younger farmers, and the willingness to face the real problem could rebuild the cattle industry from the ground up. COMMUNITY QUESTION: “Have you decreased your consumption of beef lately because of the prices? If so, what have you substituted for it?” Watch the Video Version Here Join a Local Beyond Labels Chapter Follow on X Follow on Instagram Find Joel Here: www.polyfacefarms.com Find Sina Here: www.drsinamccullough.com If you have a question you want answered or an idea for the show, we’d love to hear from you!

Episode #266: The War on Happy Animals: Grass-Fed Beef, Free-Range Chickens, and Big Ag Science
Leave Us A Voicemail Dr. Sina McCullough and Farmer Joel Salatin examine a new wave of studies and headlines claiming that feedlot beef, caged chickens, and farmed fish may be better for the environment and even more humane than natural production systems. From carbon-footprint models and missing nutrition data to cattle genetics, mobile chicken housing, avian-flu risk, and animal welfare, they ask what these studies measure, what they leave out, and why industrial agriculture's preferred metrics can make confinement look like ecological salvation.

Leave Us A Voicemail Dr. Sina McCullough and Farmer Joel Salatin examine RFK Jr.'s latest claims about real food, obesity, and longevity before turning to a stranger question: what happens when food leaves the farm entirely?

Episode #256: Why HALF of U.S. Farming Has Nothing to Do With Food
Leave Us A Voicemail In this episode, Joel and Sina dive into a mind-bending truth: roughly 50% of U.S. farm production has nothing to do with feeding human beings. We expose how policy incentives drive this shift and reveal how foreign interests use American land to grow water-intensive crops that drain our aquifers for export to places like Dubai. Meanwhile, China is aggressively pushing toward total food independence by 2030 while America becomes increasingly reliant on foreign supply chains. Tune in to learn what this means for our land, water, and security and how we can rebuild a resilient, food-first local economy.
