Food Deserts comes up in 2 chapters across 2 episodes of The Higherside Chats Free Show, from May 2017 to September 2022.
Texas Slim, The Beef Initiative and Food Sustainability
Texas Slim, founder of The Beef Initiative, joins the program to discuss the decline of local commerce and the rise of food deserts dominated by multinational corporations. The conversation focuses on the need for sound food, sound money, and sound communication to rebuild a strong society through direct-to-consumer ranching.
European Organic Standards, Food Deserts and Local Sourcing
Belzer compares the food quality in the United States to his experience living in rural France, where organic farming and the absence of GMOs are standard. The conversation addresses the reality of "food deserts" in the American Midwest, where residents often have no choice but to consume processed foods from fast-food chains or large retailers like Walmart. A growing trend toward buying local is identified as a potential remedy for these nutritional gaps.
