How To Choose Quality Meat

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Athletic Greens.
  There’s no doubt that factory farming should be illegal, but
that is a far cry from stating that all meat is bad. Grass-fed beef
is extremely different from conventionally raised beef. In other
words, the way your meat is raised matters.   In today’s
episode, I talk with Chris Kresser, Robb Wolf, Diana Rodgers, and
Nicolette Niman about the myths and stigmas surrounding red-meat
consumption, how to choose sustainably raised meat, and much more.
  Chris Kresser M.S., L.Ac., is the codirector of the
California Center for Functional Medicine, founder of the Kresser
Institute, creator of ChrisKresser.com, and the New York Times
bestselling author of The Paleo Cure and Unconventional Medicine.
He is one of the most respected clinicians and educators in the
fields of Functional Medicine and ancestral health and has trained
over 1,500 clinicians and health coaches in his unique
approach.    Robb Wolf, a former research biochemist, is
the two-time New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling
author of The Paleo Solution and Wired to Eat. Robb is the
cofounder of The Healthy Rebellion, a social movement with the goal
of liberating 1 million people from the sick-care system. Robb is
the executive producer of the film Sacred Cow.    Diana
Rodgers, RD, is a “real food” nutritionist living on a working
organic farm near Boston, Massachusetts. She’s an author, runs a
clinical nutrition practice, hosts the Sustainable Dish podcast,
and is an advisory board member of Animal Welfare Approved and
Savory Institute. Her new book, Sacred Cow: The Case For Better
Meat, and the film she directed and produced, also called Sacred
Cow, are available.   Nicolette Hahn Niman is a writer,
attorney, and livestock rancher. She has authored the books
Defending Beef and Righteous Porkchop, as well as numerous essays
for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and the Los
Angeles Times. Previously, she was Senior Attorney for the
environmental organization Waterkeeper, where she focused on
agriculture and food production; before that, she was an
environmental lawyer for the National Wildlife Federation. Today,
she lives in Northern California with her two sons and her husband,
Bill Niman, founder of the natural-meat companies Niman Ranch and
