Ep 234 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into viral loofahs, ethical eating debates, food allergies, and whether a billion-dollar clothing brand can save agriculture. From the cucumber family plant that keeps breaking the internet to Taylor Sheridan's fiery take on veganism with Joe Rogan, this episode tackles the misconceptions and trade-offs in our food system. Plus, discover why teal pumpkins matter for 1 in 13 kids, how Post Malone shut down Broadway for 30,000 fans, and whether Patagonia's venture into crackers and tinned fish can actually change farming—or if it's just another case of corporate savior complex. Spoiler: a farmer has thoughts, and we want to hear them.
