Drink. Think., host Amy O’Neill Houck talks with Michele Thorne, Executive Director of the Good Meat Project, whose work is dedicated to creating a more transparent and ethical food system.

Michele shares her journey and the mission of the Good Meat Project, explaining how the organization connects consumers, ranchers, butchers and chefs to build a stronger, more sustainable meat supply chain. The discussion unpacks the power of consumer choice and why buying as close to the source as possible is an effective way to know more about the qualities of not only the meat, but the people who raised and prepared it with care.

She offers insight into the work done to support a food culture that values the land, animals, and people, and why a foundation of shared resources and community is essential to the future of truly good meat. This conversation offers a taste of the change, and community, behind every bite.

Food & the Feds: Civil Eats reporter Lisa Held shares an update on policy and its effect on our plates. Edible Communities How do policy changes in Washington affect the food we eat and the folks who produce it?

Harris shares his journey from industrial cattle production to holistic farming methods that prioritize animal welfare, soil health, and ecosystem restoration which he chronicles in his book: A Bold Return to Giving a Damn: One Farm, Six Generations, and the Future of Food.


We discuss the challenges he faced during the transition, the resilience his farm has developed—especially the face of crises like bird flu and unprecedented storms—and his belief that consumer demand can drive meaningful change in our food system. Harris makes the case to eaters, fellow farmers, and would-be farmers to join him in a slow pendulum swing back to ecological balance for humans, the land, and what we eat.

That’s the goal of author Joe Yonan. In this episode, host Amy O’Neill Houck speaks with Yonan, food and dining editor for The Washington Post and author of several books including the bestseller, Cool Beans, The Ultimate Guide to the World's Most Versatile Plant-Based Protein. His latest book, Mastering the Art of Plant Based Cooking, aims to redefine how we think about plant-based food. With over 300 recipes, the book focuses on technique, flavor, and global influences rather than just health, ethics, or the environment. Yonan shares his insights on essential building blocks like pasta and greens, meal planning tips, and his discoveries about substitutions in egg-free and dairy-free baking.

Nicola tells us about her new book, Frostbite: How Refrigeration Changed Our Food, Our Planet, and Ourselves and lets us in on the global effects that keeping food cold has had on the food system, on humans as eaters, and on our warming planet.

Over the last 150 years, refrigeration has reshaped how we produce, distribute, and consume food, sparking the industrialization of agriculture and influencing everything from meat production and nutrition to food waste. Yet, this cold revolution hasn’t come without costs—refrigeration is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions due to its energy demands and refrigerant gasses. Twilley explores how we might reimagine refrigeration for a food system that prioritizes public health, environmental sustainability, and equitable food access.

Twilight is the executive editor of Civil Eats and is the author of a recent story that was done in partnership with Edible Communities. Reginaldo, or Regi, is featured in the story as he shares the history and vision for Tree-Range Farms, a Minnesota-based network of over forty farms stewarding land and raising chickens among trees and perennial crops using a method that supports both the land and the birds. Through this network, and as the founder of the nonprofit Regenerative Agriculture Alliance, he is focused on creating a collective governance structure to ensure the ecosystem’s social, economic and ecological criteria remain intact as it grows in scope and scale. 

Our discussion goes deeper into the topic of regenerative poultry production and both Twilight and Regi share their observations, hopes and vision for the future.

No Food. A catchy tagline, but also an undeniable truth. American farmland not only grows our food, it is the foundation of rural communities, providing jobs, recreational opportunities and a connection to the land.

Purchasing your food directly from farmers, ranchers and other food producers at farmers’ markets has a huge impact on the economic viability of farming. Studies have shown that for every dollar spent at a farmers’ market, the producer receives around 90 cents, as opposed to 15-17 cents on the dollar when they sell to a wholesaler. 

In this episode, produced in partnership with American Farmland Trust, our host Gibson Thomas talks with two farmers’ market managers from very different parts of the U.S. about how their markets and other programs help farmers connect directly with consumers, as well as provide other support.

They are joined by American Farmland Trust’s New York Policy Manager to talk about the organization’s work with farmers’ markets in her area, as well as AFT’s programs that support farmers’ markets throughout the country.

With the 2023 Farm Bill top of mind right now for everyone in the agricultural sector, all three guests weigh in on what matters most to them in this important piece of legislation—and how listeners can help. 

This episode was produced in partnership with American Farmland Trust. This summer, American Farmland Trust and the Farmers Market Coalition are giving away $15,000 in prizes (and more!) to the nation’s favorite farmers markets. Voting starts June 19, 2023 and runs through September 18, 2023! Make sure your favorite market is listed, and spread the word in your community!

Nearly a decade of reporting at Forbes has brought her to In-N-Out Burger’s secret test kitchen, drought-ridden farms in California’s Central Valley, burnt-out national forests logged by a timber billionaire, and a century-old slaughterhouse business in Omaha.

In her new book Raw Deal: Hidden Corruption, Corporate Greed, and the Fight for the Future of Meat, Sorvino shares research on the consolidation and power of the meat industry and the backroom dealings behind it while talking with experts and those affected firsthand by working in and living near feedlots and slaughterhouses. In our discussion she shares some of the backstory behind these experiences and we talk about the connections between meat production, industrial agriculture, and the climate crisis, and she makes the case for urgent systematic change.

Julia is a food historian, writer, and author of Our Fermented Lives: A History of How Fermented Foods Have Shaped Cultures and Communities. She's also the founder of Root, Atlanta’s fermentation and food history company, and her work is regularly featured in local, national, and international publications as well as in her own weekly food newsletter. She has a PhD in Library Science, cares for two wildlife habitats, and is a visual artist. Sandor Ellix Katz is a fermentation revivalist. He is the author of five books: Wild Fermentation; The Art of Fermentation; The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved; Fermentation as Metaphor; and his latest, Fermentation Journeys. Sandor's books, along with the hundreds of fermentation workshops he has taught around the world, have helped to catalyze a broad revival of the fermentation arts. A self-taught experimentalist who lives in rural Tennessee, the New York Times calls him “one of the unlikely rock stars of the American food scene.”</p> We can thank the process of fermentation for a lot of the foods and drinks we love such as beer, wine, kimchi, bread, cheese and kombucha.

Since long before recorded history and into the future, fermentation has been—and will be—an essential way for people to effectively use the food resources available to them.

In this episode of Eat. Drink. Think., host Amy O'Neill Houck is talking with Sandor Ellix Katz and Julia Skinner to explore how fermentation has shaped cultures, why fermentation breaks the recipe mold and how fermentation as a metaphor can lead to transformative action that benefits the food system.

This episode is brought to you by Volpi Foods, a family company celebrating 120 years of crafting charcuterie from the freshest ingredients and packing their meats in better-for-the-earth materials. Find Volpi salami, prosciutto and pancetta at your local grocery store.
