Animal Instinct
The Carnivore's Manifesto & The Meat Industry
Welcome to Season 5 of Animal Instinct! Host Celia Kutcher ushers in the new season with special guest Patrick Martins, Heritage Foods USA and Heritage Radio Network founder, and author of "The Carnivore's Manifesto: Eating Well, Eating Responsibly, and Eating Meat." In his book, Patrick explains how to eat well, responsibly, and eat meat. A collection of edifying essays, further reenforcing our need to play an active role in the sustainable food movement, Patrick aims to assure a better (and more delicious) world in the future. Celia and Patrick engage in a thought-provoking conversation ranging from animal rights to Big Macs to commodity meats. After the break, Patrick shares a highlight from the book via the perspectives of a pig and goat! This program was brought to you by The International Culinary Center.
"Factory farmers are not true farmers. They need medicine for their animals... Their animals can't survive in nature for 2 or 3 days." [9:55]
"We fight for the endangered breeds of livestock knowing that the best way to save them is to keep them an active part of the marketplace - you gotta eat 'em to save 'em." [14:45]
"This isn't about meat. this is about pigs, cows, ducks, geese, chickens... this is about a majority of the world's animals." [26:50]
