In this episode of Beyond Labels, Farmer Joel and Dr. Sina tackle the pressing issue of food inflation in an already strained economy. With food prices already sky-high, they explore how deporting illegal immigrants under a Trump administration could exacerbate labor shortages and further drive up costs in the farming and food sectors.

But it’s not all doom and gloom—Joel and Sina share innovative, practical solutions to help stabilize the food system and protect consumers.

Merry Christmas from Joel & Sina!

We’re diving into the food fight of the century: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s bold mission to “Make America Healthy Again.” From banning harmful pesticides and overhauling school lunches to dismantling ultra-processed food culture, Kennedy’s vision aims to transform our food system and combat chronic disease. But can he win against the powerful food and agriculture lobbies, or will his efforts fall flat?

The fight begins with the Dietary Guidelines—the quiet but influential blueprint that shapes school meals, food assistance programs, and what’s on your plate. With the 2025 guidelines on the horizon, Kennedy could find himself in the driver’s seat as HHS Secretary, wielding the power to prioritize whole, unprocessed foods over the nutrient-poor options dominating our diets.

Tune in as we unpack the stakes, the opposition, and what Kennedy’s vision could mean for the future of food in America. Will it be a revolution or just another food fight?

Community Question: If you were to measure your own eating habits against our “north star” dietary guidelines, how close are you to hitting the mark?

Ever wonder where your hard-earned tax dollars go? Brace yourself: this isn’t your usual “fill potholes and fund schools” kind of spending. In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Sina and Farmer Joel Salatin expose a covert taxpayer-funded operation designed to discredit critics of GMOs and pesticides. We're talking about a secret social network run by a former Monsanto exec, detailed dossiers on journalists, and even smear campaigns targeting scientists—all with a little financial help from Uncle Sam.

Discover how this shadowy PR effort, Bonus Eventus, went from hushed whispers to a full-blown scandal, and why government officials are involved. Is this a harmless “network for agriculture experts,” or a disturbing case of Big Brother protecting corporate interests? The revelations will leave you outraged, or at the very least, raising your eyebrows.

Join us as we dig into the investigation that has the scientific and activist communities on high alert. Democracy, it turns out, has a price—and it may be coming straight out of your wallet.
