367: Meat glue, pink slime, lab grown meat labeling, and mixing different animals together to create that perfect 80/20 pound of ground meat you're buying are just a few scandals discussed in this episode with Will Harris, owner of White Oak Pastures. This is a 5th generation regenerative farm done right by us and in this interview Will shares what the USDA inspection process looks like, how big food companies treat their animals vs how he treats his own. And if you thought you were buying USA meat, think again! As of January 1st, 2026 there's been a new law put in place on how meat is labeled and it's not a good thing which makes it more frustrating for consumers to actually know where the origin of their meat came from and we are spilling the beans on what that new law is!
