I'm not super educated on this, but what makes a pig different from a cow in terms of the way it digests food and why pork is sometimes viewed as unclean?

Would you ever eat pork from a grocery store down the road?

Never.

Because you know where it's raised and how it's raised?

Yeah.

Growing up in central Pennsylvania, surrounded by beautiful farmland,

My grandfather wanted me to be a chicken farmer one day.

I obviously didn't take that route, but he had me working chicken farms in the summer.

And I remember being in these multi-story chicken houses and a big truck would back in and they drop off all these chicks and then they'd be there for weeks and months and they'd raise them.

But these farmers were telling me to say, we're going to pump these chickens with so many steroids that we actually want to see some of them die because they're so fat and engorged.

So that was the point of like, let's fatten these things up as much as possible with drugs and food to get the biggest chickens possible.

And now like a lot of the chicken meat and eggs that we consume is from a local farm, Fertile Creek in a local area.

Um, but that was like my exposure to mass chicken farming growing up.

Yeah.

So I want to get into, uh, what, what,

drew me in recently that I want to talk about that I love is the farmer's bowl and just like the way you approach your diet.

And I saw you and your wife actually did a video the other day building the farmer's bowl.

So you have about four to five of these a day.

two handfuls of protein.

And correct me at any point if I'm wrong, that protein being either beef, lamb, chicken, pork, one or two handfuls of carbs, one or two handfuls of veggies, some fruit.
