Three Robins’ Post

We've been getting to work out in #Ward8! As many of you know, we don't address food deserts because we know that food access is a man-made problem with plenty of man-made solutions available for those who care to fix it. Although Ward 8 has the highest number of #farmers in #ChocolateCity, it is still considered the hardest hit by what we call #FoodApartheid. Since the two wards #EastOfTheRiver can only access produce at two big box stores, #DreamingOutLoud is building a market in #HistoricAnacostia! The significance of building something at the intersection of #MLK and #MarionBarry is not lost on us, but knowing that we will be able to give more market access to #BlackFarmers and #BlackBusinessOwners in the region while giving our community a chance to buy #LocallyGrown organic produce is an honor and a privilege that we don't take lightly. Tell your friends and follow this journey with us all the way to the grand opening!! #LinkInBio #FreshFood #FoodJustice #BlackOwned #HealthIsWealth #HealthyEating #GrowYourOwn #FoodIsMedicine #SmallBusiness #LocallySourced

The conventional meat industry should take seriously the implications to their business model of the shifting sentiments around meat, and act accordingly to diversify into alternative proteins. This won't be the last such commitment (I anticipate these will pick up substantially as broader consumer and government awareness increases around issues like climate and animal welfare), and this potentially has serious repercussions for sales.

Pulmuone is grateful 🙏 for a successful Earth Day or better saying month! Small Changes for a Greener Future Earth Month is a great time to remember that our actions, no matter how small, can make a big impact in keeping our planet healthy and happy. Choosing the right foods every day is one simple way we can help! A diet rich in plant-based foods has a lower carbon footprint compared to an animal-heavy diet, with livestock farming being a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. By choosing plant-based foods like tofu, even for a few meals a week, you can significantly reduce your environmental impact. Tofu Thursday. Try a Tofu BBQ SANDWICHES https://lnkd.in/eGySJtA6

I don't eat five burgers a week (although that sounds dreamy), but I enjoy animal protein daily. Three things are of utmost importance to me: Quality Profitable ranches and happy animals Sustainability After speaking with ButcherBox founder Mike Salguero, I know that BB checks all of these boxes. ButcherBox visits the farms and fisheries to ensure quality. They know the farmers and fishermen and pay them fairly. They contract with small farms and fisheries to ensure smaller harvests and, thus, sustainability. It's no secret how I feel about ButcherBox, and I got to sit down with Mike, the founder. I'm always interested to understand a person's WHY. WHY did you start that business, or WHY do you feel that way about a topic? His WHY made me a bit emotional. His wife was ill, and they were trying to find grass-fed beef for the recommended anti-inflammatory diet. They couldn't do it, so they bought half a cow! They couldn't eat it all, so they sold the meat to friends, and ButcherBox was born. Mike is a visionary who genuinely wants to make high-quality protein available to everyone, no matter their budget. Give today's podcast a listen!
