In tonight’s lively roundtable, I welcome the Bowler Hat Farmer, Patrick (our Wisconsin cheese ambassador), Royal Hanarak and Paul English for an unfiltered tour through food quality, farming, health, and a big radio announcement. We dig into why supermarket meat often disappoints, labelling and slaughter methods, the loss of small abattoirs, and why locally sourced, chemical‑free produce and pasture‑raised animals matter. We cover plastic-laden packaging, seed oils versus animal fats, the case for heritage seeds and soil health, and practical steps listeners can take right now: keep a few hens, grow veg in tubs or beds, source from genuine butchers and growers, and stock a sensible pantry. We also touch on eggs (what makes a rich yolk), chickens as easy garden companions, soldier-fly protein for feed, and the realities of global supply chains. Beyond food, we talk health hubs, education, respectful debate, and how changing diet can change wellbeing. Expect plenty of wit—from corned beef tins and pirate‑radio jingles to cow “burps,” pork myths, and preserving bone broth—plus a big reveal: the launch of Food For Thought Radio on 26 January at 10:00, bringing honest, upbeat conversation about food, farming and health to a global audience. Join us, get involved, and let’s rebuild real food culture together.
