In my Apocalypse Grow challenge, I’ve consumed far more plants than I ever did before diet-wise. And surprise surprise, the consumption of more plants (and less processed, crappy food) has led to some great health results for me. We’re back with L.Be of Farm Based Foodie to talk about the personal and environmental benefits of munching on more delicious planty goodness.

0:00.0 | Hello everyone Kevin here from Epic Gardening. We're back again with our final |
0:06.4 | episode with L.B. a farm-based foodie and the upcoming podcast educational |
0:11.6 | platform Dirty Talk. |
0:14.1 | So we are tying it all together. |

0:32.9 | And so today we're talking about eating plants, |
0:35.1 | which sounds very simple on its face, |
0:36.7 | and we all know it's something we should probably do a little more of. |
