Joel Salatin: Beyond-Organic Farming, American Food Policy and Why There is POOP in Your Chicken Nuggets

I am very blessed to be here today with a guest who has been requested from all over the world. It's a knowledge packed show, full of wisdom, and very entertaining as well! It's Mr Joel Salatin. A self-described Christian, libertarian, environmentalist, capitalist, lunatic farmer, who produces high quality, beyond-organic meats, which are raised using environmentally responsible, ecologically beneficial and sustainable agriculture. Before we get to the show, I wanted to let you guys know about a really cool project that we have coming up in the next few weeks. It's call "The Fat-Burning Chef." Basically we  went out to all of our friends, some of the top bloggers and authors in the cooking space of the Paleo-sphere and beyond, and asked if they'd contribute to help build a book of healthy recipes that are also magnificent to look at and taste great! That's coming out in the next few weeks, and if you'd like to hear more you can follow me on Facebook, or be sure to sign up for my updates by just entering your email on the right side of the homepage at http://www.fatburningman.com!  On today's show we talk about: Some problems with a vegan diet (Any vegan's out there, put on your earmuffs!) Whether or not beyond-organic farming practices are scaleable on a world-wide scale Why American food policy is favorable to products that make us fat and sick And why there is POOP in your chicken nuggets

A behind the scenes look at why food manufacturers and the government create foods you wouldn’t feed your kids. How you can make fermented foods at home.

John Romaniello: Man 2.0: Engineering the Alpha, the Problems with Being Skinny, and What Tucker Max Says About His Book

John Romaniello (better known as Roman) runs Roman Fitness Systems with a tongue-in-cheek approach to fitness. Equal parts narcissism and self-loathing, Roman writes with passion and humor, show-casing his belief that training doesn’t need to be serious, stern, science-laden monotony. It can be fun, too. Roman stopped by The Fat-Burning Man Show before going on other shows such as Dr Oz, The Colbert Show, and a few other stops in the mainstream media. This is a fun show, but let's put it this way: it's a bit more "Tucker Max" than "Paul Jaminet." I already know this show is going to be controversial. If you're offended by colorful language, what a male at 23 years old has to say about sex (or women in general), or a few other topics that might raise some eyebrows, you may want to skip to the next show. That said, Roman is brutally honest about his transformation from a chubby kid to a model and unapologetically shares his physical, mental and emotional journey with all of us. It takes a great deal of courage, and gumption, to do that, so there's a lot to learn from the show if you pay attention. * If you are listening to the podcast, we've bleeped out the potty mouth words. In today's show we talk about: What it’s like to go from being a chubby kid to ripped The head trash that comes along with body transformation (that no one talks about) How you can dramatically improve your life while improving your body And why Tucker Max and Arnold Schwarzenegger say Roman’s book doesn’t suck.   Here's the show
