As a conventional cattle ranchers wife, I really appreciate this conversation.

I would prefer the label "glyphosate free" to non GMO

Speak up

The conversation about raw milk being banned "for our benefit" makes a direct connection to why Coke-a-Cola is buying milk. Corporate capture to profit, not to protect your health. I would be very wary of any milk product they put out. And when you spoke of GMO in feed, is it being tested for gylphesate?

Many labels often mean next to nothing and generally not what consumers think. ❤thanks for spreading education! High hope for this episode!!

I honestly love that I have received so much great and useful education the past few years on how to make my own Ferments, Herbs,🌿 Sourdough🥖🥐, cheese from Raw milk🧀🐄..etc.. The grocery store just isn't what it once was and the less we need to go in it the healthier💪 we will be🤍

Exactly!!

Very interesting conversation. I certainly agree with her assessment of organic - it is not all that folks think it is. But it certainly makes them feel better about their purchases. I wish there were those types of conversations you spoke of. But unfortunately, it always turns into a name calling, disrespectful diatribe. Thank you both for doing this.

I was just researching this same topic yesterday. Thank you for the information, Lisa! I read grass fed can mean they've had grass at any point in their life. Not necessarily their entire life. 😮 I also learned, there is no wide spread standard for the label free range and pasture raised. They basically just say what that means to them and then they get the label. So often times, when we pay more for these labels, we're not getting what we think. Can't wait to listen to this podcast tonight when the kiddies go to bed!

It's a great conversation, especially when Lisa goes about how people can't discuss anything anymore. It's very annoying but absolutely true...

This is one of the best pod cast I have listened to on your channel. Get to hear both of your view point and you having a CONVERSATION about them. Well done, ladies.

This was another great episode! Currently in my home state of Virginia, the sale of raw milk is illegal. Having a cow share is legal, so I am on the waitlist for that. We will pay for shared ownership of a dairy cow, which covers feed, lodging, etc. and have access to raw milk. Ironically there are two huge dairy farms within 10 miles or less of my home but they don’t offer cow shares.

Yes, it can be challenging depending on where you live...

I think with the gluten free labels, people are also concerned with where the food is processed and any possible cross contamination. I know that's the case with my sister-in-law anyway, who has Celiac disease. She won't buy things that don't say gluten free for fear of where it was processed.

Coca-Cola producing milk, I will pass on that product!

I know- very disapponted to hear that too! The milk tastes good, but with food industries being "allowed" to not put " industry standards" on labels or hide bad ingredients under different terms, Im leery of it now. :( Thats too bad what happens to good products when big corporations buy them out.

More protein? The proteins are the issues to why people can’t have dairy allergies. Lactose is the most common known but Casin is the other that causes problems. I got a wild hair to try raw milk… NOPE! I about died.

informative. I wish you both would have discussed more on glyphosate. Also find it interested they would sell to Coca Cola. I would suspect black rock and vanguard to be at the top of their shareholders. It's a shame being a large dairy farm they aren't consuming their own raw milk. I find that also interesting. I think it boils down to how everything has a label now and most of us recognize this.

the topic of food labels is unfortunately such a vast subject for us in America especially that one podcast just can't cover the whole subject...

I heard they genetically modify things like corn and soy to withstand the toxic sprays and pesticides/herbicides like glyphosate which does damage to the gut in at least parts per million.

Will you PLEASE do a summer capsule wardrobe this year?😂❤❤❤

Very few gmo crops but gmo corn which makes high fructose corn syrup which is in literally everything.

Hi, loving this podcast, just have to add that I have celiac (was dx in 2007) and there are milk and milk products that contain gluten. Some store-brand products include it i their process. Thanks for this fascinating info! Xo

This has been my favorite podcast. I learned so much and I love the even keeled approach to all of it.

The difference between simply crossing seeds to achieve a better product and genetically modified organisms (GMO) is that with GMO the DNA of an organism is altered in a way that you could not achieve in nature by simply crossing seeds. We do not know the effect of eating such altered organisms or even what effect they will have on the natural processes of our world in the long term. Everything is interconnected in some way, even the smallest of processes and even the slightest change can have significant and potentially devastating effects in the long term.

Yes, it is definitely not just crossing seeds, it's actual plants that have the DNA edited. Who knows what editing goes on. They typically are then dependant on chemical applications in the fields and are also patented which is a whole other issue.

Also, they combine different species, for example adding BT to cotton and corn. Also, it's very hard to keep GMO crops from contaminating non GMO and organic. There is potential to do good with GMO's but we as consumers have the right to know what had been modified and all the environmental and health impacts for years to come need to be assessed before releasing them into production. Not to mention the way GMO crops contribute to farmer's committing suicide in India with the Roundup ready crops. So, there is a lot more to it than what was discussed in the podcast. But I appreciate the information that has been presented as a start.

I'm glad that I am not the only one who was shocked by the Coca-Cola comment. She does seem knowledgeable.

Good information, thank you. I would have loved to hear some information on meat treated with growth hormones though. You mentioned that 100% of milk sold at supermarkets do no longer contain RBST hormone, but what about the other growth hormones that are approved for use in cattle: three natural (estradiol, testosterone, and progesterone) and three synthetic (melengestrol acetate [MGA], trenbolone acetate [TBA], and zeranol)? Are these only used to fatten animals that will be killed for food or are they fed to cows used for milking purpose as well? I am really puzzled and have been buying organic milk at a much higher cost and would really like to know the truth about non-organic milk products. Thank you again for this information and for everything you do

I just heard the thing about the receipts the other day from my husband and I said, "Well, we're doomed." Since I was in retail for all my jobs (or a waitress for one of my past jobs) and he is in retail in the car industry. :: sigh :: My family loves Fair Life!

Thanks , A lot of common sense and educated information.

I've listened to enough videos to be curious now. Are there any other dads and/or husband's out there learning from this channel?

Isn’t salt modified as well? Minerals stripped and abnormally iodized? It may not be a crop, but it is modified. A lot of the accounts I follow are using Redmond Real salt.

I always felt the Kosher label meant better culling practices, cleaner butchering and quality control. I’m not Jewish and live in Central WV. I also put a lot of value in antibiotic free chicken to find that was just a trigger label. Label’s across America are very deceiving.

If FairLife was sold to Coke, you can bet it is no longer the same product.

What about seedless?

She has very limited knowledge GMO’s. The seeds are sterile, and the genes are not interspecies inGMO crops. They aren’t corn to corn but adding non corn gene with a corn gene specifically to make them Round up ready. Meaning the herbicide is guarenteed to be sprayed onto the crops. You then have to go down the herbicide rabbit hole. It’s not just a sped up hybridize activity.

Good thing I don't buy Fairlife...

The receipt thng is supposed to be "fixed" that is an old "thing" at least that is my understanding

I know the labels can be iffy however in my own life grass fed beef just tastes better and is better quality IMO. I can't follow all the farmers around but I know what tastes good and feels less gristly in my mouth. ❤

Corn! Originally was not meant for humans. It's been modified to such a degree, and most people don't know that because it was so long ago.
