Before we read the books that our guest today, Chris Smaje, wrote, we knew we didn't want a world where fake food, food manufactured in factories was what we ate as a society. We didn’t believe that protein made in stainless steel vats could give our minds, bodies, souls and communities what they need to survive and thrive.

But what we didn't know, is that manufactured protein, fake food or precision fermentation, however you want to term it, literally will not work.

Listen in to this episode to understand exactly why manufactured food is not an option for our world going forward and what our only alternative is. This episode will leave you staggered by the statistics around manufactured food, informed as to why it is not a feasible solution to our world's problems and with so much more confidence in the belief that real food, real farms, and real people are what we need to find our way out of our current crisis.
