What if the way we source our food is putting our health and national security at risk? Bold statement, but Texas Slim, a pivotal figure in the Beef Initiative, argues that our centralized food systems are doing just that. Join us as we reconnect with Texas Slim, who’s been on a mission across the U.S. and beyond, advocating for regenerative beef and decentralized access to quality food. He shares his eye-opening journey, rooted in his background in agricultural poverty and big tech, and how it led him to expose the alarming rise of food deserts in America.

Facing the might of multinational corporations, independent ranchers are struggling against regulatory capture that strips them of their autonomy. We dive into the efforts spearheaded by the Beef Initiative to combat these obstacles and restore food security. Hear from experts like Brooke Miller, a seventh-generation rancher, on the significant progress made in decentralizing our food system despite these challenges. This segment underscores the critical importance of building resilient, community-based food networks and the steps we've taken over the past two years.

However, the complexities don't end there. Despite abundant local cattle, much of it is exported while we import foreign beef and pork. Texas Slim sheds light on the paradox created by multinational corporations and government policies, including the troubling shift toward fake proteins and changes in food labeling laws. Learn how the Beef Initiative empowers individuals to make informed choices, fostering stronger connections with local producers. We also spotlight the upcoming Cattleman's Feast in Nashville, a celebration of community and quality beef that underscores our mission to reclaim control over our food sources.
