What happens when a lie is buried so deeply into our culture that people simply agree to let the lie exist?? Is it possible that cattle are a solution to healing the planet instead of a problem? How do we address corruption at the highest levels of the food supply chain? We discuss this and much more with Jim Mundorf of Lonesome Lands. Follow Jim on Instagram @lonesomelands
