#03 - Sacred Cows and Stoned Apes

In this podcast we discuss The Malthusian Catastrophe and why it never came true. Why the alarmists like Malthus, Erhlich, Club of Rome and Green Peace were wrong and how modern agriculture coupled with fossil fuels, synthetic nitrogen and the Green Revolution allowed humanity to escape "the trap" and feed 8 billion people. We also discuss the miracle of the rumen digestive physiology and converting inedible foodstuffs into steaks. We cover India and sacred cows, food waste, upcycling and the parsimony of the cattle beef industry. We wrap this episode up with how meat, fire and psychedelic mushrooms made us human! Hope you enjoy it & eat more beef.
