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!
