Over 99% of chicken in America is produced by two companies and raised in ways that can negatively impact human and environmental health. 

The worst part is, even labels like “cage free” and ‘free range” don’t actually mean what you think they do. 

Which is why in this week’s podcast, with CEO of Cooks Venture and pioneering pastured chicken farmer, Matt Wadiak, we break down the major problems with the chicken industry and where you can find truly high-quality chicken. Here are the topics we cover…

• The main problems with the conventional chicken industry
• Free range vs. cage free vs. pasture-raised
• The #1 cause of death worldwide (and how conventional chickens contribute!)
• The 3 additives in the chicken industry you need to know about
• The problem with organic chicken
• The inhumane practices used in big chicken
• Why conventional chicken farmers suffer
• The company that helps verify chicken quality
• What chickens should actually be eating
• The uncommon chicken feed that regenerates the soil 
• The nutrients that are higher in pasture-raised chicken
• Why and how chickens can improve environmental health
• Where to find truly pastured and regeneratively raised chicken
• And so much more!

Farmers are heroes and when we learn about our food system and buy animal products that align with our values, we become heroes, too! Please share this with someone who you know would love this conversation.
