055: Eating as Resistance

055: Eating as Resistance

Rob Greenfield outlines the how + why behind his new extreme adventure, "Food Freedom".

For many, eating is easy. 

Supermarkets abound with everything our stomachs desire; as such, we’re forever just a few dollars away from food that’s prepped, packaged + ready to eat. 

But what if we had to actually *work* for sustenance? This week’s guest argues that, when it comes to our meals, a little difficulty would benefit both our bodies + our planet. 

Today I’m chatting with Rob Greenfield. He’s an adventurer, activist + humanitarian who embarks on extreme adventures to bring attention to sustainability. Rob has vowed to grow + forage 100% of his food for an entire year; he’s currently on Day 64.

Rob *doesn’t* want us to join him. He’s on the podcast to explain what he’s doing, how he’s doing it + WHY extreme adventuring is the best way to inspire global change. 

Enjoy!

How To Let Stuff Go

When we let go of what doesn't serve us, we remove weight that holds us down. On today's show we turn to Zen Buddhism for wisdom on letting go of anxiety about the future, grudges, stuff, dead relationships, and more.

Here's a preview:

[4:00] Insanely anxious about the future? (Me too!) Don't spend your energy worrying; do this instead

[12:00] Think of decluttering not as throwing stuff away; think of it instead as setting your stuff (and yourself!) free

[19:00] How to let go of lost friendships and relationships, straight from the mouths of Buddhist monks

[26:00] Holding a grudge requires vast amounts of energy so become skilled at forgetting

[34:00] You're going to get to where you're meant to go, so there's no need to second-guess your choices
