I first met farmer, author, entrepreneur, thinker, and self-described “Christian-conservative-libertarian-environmentalist-lunatic” Joel Salatin at his rural Virginia farm, Polyface, in 2009.
We sat in rocking chairs in his home office and talked about everything from food and agriculture to law, regulations, and the Bill of Rights. I’ve seen Salatin several times since—in Washington, DC, and Little Rock, Arkansas and, most recently, back at his farm—and have even invoked his unsubsidized farming practices to argue that he and farmers like him should serve as the model for supporters of sustainable agriculture—meaning farming that eschews government subsidies while both minimizing environmental impacts and also turning a profit. Salatin’s books include Everything I Want to Do is Illegal, probably the best book on the crushing regulatory burden faced by small- and medium-sized farmers in America.
Full Disclosure: Salatin is a member and supporter of my nonprofit, Keep Food Legal. Is Eating Meat Sustainable For Everyone? : Real Food University.

We have to acknowledge a few realities with regards to population: It’s unlikely we can feed every person on the planet a pound of meat per day.
Regardless of our thoughts on the population that can be supported on the available resources, there are 6.7 billion of us here and that’s not something we can change. I figured we’d start it off with a bang, so today is a very hot-button topic. Land Usage Of Various Meat Animals. Online Votes Lift Last-Ranked 'Caveman Diet' U.S. News and World Report, a weekly news magazine with a penchant for ranking things, did not think much of the Paleo or “Caveman diet.” It ranked the Paleo diet dead last. But in the two weeks since U.S. News issued its “Best Diets” report, a funny thing has happened. As of mid-day Monday, more than 3,000 people said they lost weight with the Caveman diet, versus just 74 who said they did not.
The Dash diet, which won the overall category, had only 95 people saying it worked for them, versus 457 who claimed it did not work. The rankings and the popularity of the diets, especially the spike in support for the Caveman diet, come as no surprise. Ever since those U.S. U.S. But it’s been the overall weight-loss category, where the Paleo diet was ranked last among the 20 studied, that has generated attention ever since.
