"We went from the art of medicine to the business practice of disease management." Many things need to change in this world but seemingly large groups of emotionally charged people seem to think the answer is a complete abandonment of traditional lifestyles. When it comes to food and health, like everything else it gets complicated. Social issues, corrupt business practices and politics have distorted reality, leaving people confused and fighting amongst themselves over misconceptions and falsehoods. Under pressure from mental health issues, obesity, and others, people who've lost hope go to extremes and advocate for a dramatic shift in ideology. They aren't able to see the simple solutions inherent in nature and reflected in traditions. Basic traditions remain regardless of how complicated society becomes. Today's guest believes eating meat is important to humanity and he doesn't tolerate government mandates that take away people's freedom to eat what they want and what he feels they should.

"It's a universal human experience. We're all on this journey of identity. It doesn't stop. It's not like you get to a certain place in your life and you go, 'that's it I'm done, I know exactly who I am, where I'm going and what I'm doing'." "We have more in common than we have differences." We all experience a degree of separation from others in our lives. We can be in the same room yet feel worlds apart. Politics and especially our own notions of ourselves and others can complicate the innate connection and familiarity to other human beings. This is fine as a starting point but today's guest, Michael Fosberg, wants the world to know that great change is possible with a broader point of view.
