It’s an honor to bring on Diana Rodgers for OF EARTH Ep.6. Diana Rodgers is the Registered Dietician behind the Sustainable Dish. Diana has dedicated her life’s work to sustainability, social justice, animal welfare, and food policy issues. She is the co-author of the book, ‘Sacred Cow, The Case for Better Meat.’ She’s also working on a new book and film project, Sacred Cow, exploring the important role of animals in our food system. I am really excited to have this conversation that will bring light to a very controversial topic of meat consumption. We have all been lead to believe one thing or another about meat, so I asked some hard questions and received some really incredible answers that I’m excited to discuss with you guys.

“When you look at total ecosystem function and the ability for cattle to actually sequester carbon, for them to increase water holding capacity of the soil, increase biodiversity, and really up-cycle nutrient-poor foods that we can’t eat into nutrient-dense foods we can, then grazing animals wins on all of those levels and that's something that plant-based proteins absolutely cannot do.”
