#199 - Michael Grunwald on What Regenerative Beef Gets Wrong (and Alt Proteins Might Get Right)
Wednesday, 25 June, 2025
Journalist and author Michael Grunwald joins Eat For The Planet for a provocative conversation about land use, climate truth-telling, and why regenerative beef might not be the climate solution it claims to be. We dig into the uncomfortable tradeoffs most people ignore in food system debates—from the myths of “local and organic” to the surprising upsides of high-yield industrial farming. Grunwald, known for his sharp reporting and systems-level analysis, explains why sparing land—not just using it better—is the key to solving food and climate. We also talk about alternative proteins, bad science in food policy, and why fear of food tech might be holding back progress. If you’ve ever wondered whether your “sustainable” burger is helping or hurting, this episode will challenge what you think you know. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
