In this episode, Joel takes aim at one of the modern food movement’s biggest ironies: we’re drowning in “solutions” while starving for common sense.

He questions whether tech platforms that promise to “connect you to farmers” are actually adding another middleman—and whether our obsession with certifications and labels has distracted us from what really matters.

From apps that sell authenticity to the alphabet soup of organic, regenerative, and humane certifications, Joel invites us to zoom out and ask: have we complicated food so much that we’ve forgotten how to simply know our farmer?

This conversation is a refreshing reminder that discernment—not a digital platform or a shiny label—is still the most reliable certification of all.

This Week’s Community Question:

“Have you ever been disappointed with a certification program?”

Are we eating cloned meat in our food supply?

In this episode, Joel and Sina dig into the ABC’s of cloned livestock in America and worldwide. Spoiler alert: Cloned meat and milk have been in American’s food supply for nearly 2 decades.

Next, Joel addresses the soaring price of beef. He explains President Trump’s call for an investigation into the “Big Four’ meatpackers and why he’s not so quick to blame consolidation or collusion for high beef prices. We want to hear from you!

This Week’s Community question:

“Have you decreased beef purchases in the last six months as beef prices have increased? If so, what are you substituting with?”
