Is Big Ag the BAD Guy? Debunking a Crop of Food Misinformation with Farmer Michelle Miller
In this episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, Abbey tackles one of the most polarizing topics in food media: Big Ag. From documentaries to doom-scroll headlines, large-scale farming is often painted as the villain — but how much of that is true? Abbey is joined by Michelle Miller (The Farm Babe) to break down what’s really happening on big farms, the facts about pesticides, and whether regenerative agriculture can scale. Together, they cut through the fear and bring some much-needed nuance back into the conversation.
