About Diana Rodgers
Diana Rodgers, RD, LDN is a Licensed Registered Dietitian who helps people regain their health through proper nutrition. Her website is\xa0www.sustainabledish.com, where you\u2019ll find blog posts and other useful resources to learn more about eating well.
She recently co-wrote a book with Robb Wolf called\xa0Sacred Cow: The Case for (Better) Meat: Why Well-Raised Meat Is Good for You and Good for the Planet.\xa0\xa0She also produced a film,\xa0Sacred Cow: The Case for (Better) Meat\xa0and you can sign up to watch the world premier starting November 22, 2020\xa0here.
I watched the film and it\u2019s fantastic. It\u2019s all about how we\u2019ve been raising meat all wrong since the industrial revolution, and how our mismanaged farm and ranch lands are destroying the environment. When animals are raised properly, their biproducts and behaviors actually sequester carbon, help plants grow deeper roots to maintain foliage, and make our soil much more nutritious and viable. It\u2019s the cycle of life, and it\u2019s been this way since there have been plants and animals.
I asked Diana to be on my show because nutrition is low hanging fruit for climbers, and when I ask my clients to eat more protein, they feel better and climb better. Meat in all its forms is the most nutrient dense and efficient form of protein we can eat, but a lot of climbers have eschewed meat for the sake of the environment and their health.
But I\u2013rather, Diana\u2013is here to tell you that meat, when raised properly and humanely, can be supremely helpful to the environment and very beneficial to your health, much to the contrary of what you\u2019ve been told recently. In fact, plant-based diets can actually be quite detrimental to both the environment and your health. There\u2019s a lot to learn here.
Please give this one a listen. I guarantee you\u2019ll learn something, whether you\u2019re a plant-based or carnivore eater, or anything in between. I really appreciate you listening.
