Politics Of Dairy, Why Dairy Sensitiviti...

Bethany Cameron
About this episode

128: If you have sensitivities to dairy, it may not be the dairy itself but the type and quality of dairy you are consuming that is causing the issue.

Sam Ingersoll from Kalona Supernatural joins us to delve into the politics of dairy, revealing what most people don't know about the demands and requirements imposed by the government and the numerous regulations dairy farmers must adhere to. He also discusses the demands grocery stores place on brands in order for their products to be shelved, including fees brands must pay to the store and participation in advertisements that drain the resources of small brands. It's an unfortunate reality.

Additionally, we explore regenerative agriculture and its benefits not only for animals but also for our gut health. We also discuss the distinction between homogenized and non-homogenized dairy and the origins of this so-called scam, along with much more!


Topics discussed:

  • Why many probiotics in yogurt are actually dead
  • Why smaller brands are more expensive
  • The unsaid truth about paying stores for shelf space
  • Shelf space of dairy
  • Regenerative Agriculture vs Organic Farming
  • Conventional dairy vs organic and regenerative dairy
  • The politics of dairy farmers
  • Requirements farmers are forced to do
  • Why adding synthetic vitamins to dairy is required by law
  • Homogenize vs non-homogenized
  • Different types of pasteurization methods
  • A2 dairy
