I'm really enjoying all of your blogs (I've used the your writings on Polanyi in my university classes). This is really interesting. I'm a fan of Michael Pollan's "Food Rules". Eat real food, mostly plants, not so much. Works really well. As for animal based diets, our planet simply cannot withstand 7+ billion people having a meat-based diet (this is the kind of stuff I study). On the other hand, the Savory Institute is on to something (our research does indicate that proper grazing can improve soil carbon), but "Cows Save the Planet" unfortunately makes extraordinary claims that are unlikely to be supported by science.

This is my favorite series you've ever done.

Absolutely spot-on, as are all of your blog entires. When it comes to the future of food production, I would love to get your take on "regenerative agriculture" and "holistic farming." For example, books such as "Cows Save the Planet" by Judith D. Schwartz and "The Soil Will Save Us" by Kristin Ohlsony, as well as the work of the Savory Institute (https://savory.global/). Keep up the great work!
