On today's episode of the Real Foodology podcast.

There is no life without death.

You know, it's a transfer of energy.

And we're consuming this energy now.

And we're releasing this energy back into the soil.

And what we don't consume, we're going to compost and we're going to, again, spread in our pastures.

And so it's like fertility, life, death.

It's all connected.

And when you remove those blinders and you understand that,

like you said, you have way greater appreciation and respect for your food. Hey, everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Real Foodology podcast. I am your host, Courtney Swan, and today's guest

is Taylor Collins. You may know his name from

Epic Provisions. You may remember they were probably the first company to make a protein bar that was

just strictly meat-based. I was huge fan of them when they first came out because everything is

organic, pasture-raised, and they do have a huge emphasis on really high quality grass-fed meats.

And you'll learn in the episode Taylor has since sold that company and he started Rome Ranch

and also Force of Nature. If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably heard of Force of Nature

meats. They're one of my favorite meat companies right now because they have organic

pasturized meat that comes from a regenerative farm. And one of the regenerative farms that

they get their meat from happens to be Rome Ranch, which is what Taylor Collins founded.

And the reason why I brought Taylor on today is because I wanted to talk about something that I'm

incredibly passionate about. I have done many episodes about this and I will

continue to because I think it's one of the most important conversations to be having right now
