On today’s episode of the podcast, I chat with Nicolette Hahn Niman about the nutritional, sustainable, and ethical case for meat production.
Nicolette is an author, lawyer, rancher, and one of the many environmental experts featured in the film, Sacred Cow.
In this episode, we dive into why well-raised cattle actually improve ecosystem function and how removing them from our food system would create a gaping hole for us, both nutritionally and environmentally.
Nicolette is a wealth of information and it’s always a joy to speak with her.
Tune into this episode and be sure to check out her books including the upcoming edition of Defending Beef: The Ecological and Nutritional Case for Meat.
This episode is sponsored by Teton Waters Ranch, one of my favorite “better meat” companies. Their sausages and hot dogs are 100% grass-fed beef and delicious. Bring hot dogs back to your dinner table and check out all of the amazing products at Teton Waters Ranch.

Thank you for having me on your podcast, Diana! It’s great to have such a lively discussion with someone who has a deep understanding of nutrition AND agriculture.
that was a great podcast! i spent fifteen years as a vegetarian and then transitioned to a meat based diet to help overcome female hormonal issues that i was having- which are now completely fixed. both my mental journey and my realization of how much i enjoy meat and how good it makes me feel was almost identical to hers. it was neat to hear it from someone else. i also really appreciated all of the info regarding the environmental misconceptions. thanks for doing what you do!
