I do get the point and understand this is about food supply. . but in a larger sense, where is our thinking when applied to other consumable items? Cleaning supplies? Clothing? Are we burning wood for ash to make soap? Are we growing cotton or linen to make our clothing? Husbanding sheep for wool and spinning yarn for outer wear? I'd like to see episodes with people making those inroads into the supply chain as well. .

Great pair of videos! Love the work of New Polity. I discovered NP 6 months ago and I have found myself challenged in new ways. Praise Jesus! So good to hear of all the good things happening in Steubenville. It’s definitely changed a ton since I was last there. (MA in 09). Thanks Marc and Co.

Do you all have a butcher shop, mobile butcher, or farm in need of an on-site butcher? I am absolutely considering moving to Steubenville after listening to your podcasts & the community y’all are building there. I work as a whole animal butcher & strength coach/manual therapist/nutritionist and would love to provide that for a community that aligns with my worldview & faith..

unless it was taken from elsewhere, "call no man happy until he is dead" comes from Solon, who was an influential lawmaker in Athens. It’s one of my favorite quotes, and I first encountered it in Herodotus' Histories where Solon features in the very beginning of the work.

Marc, would your guests be able to provide an abrieviated reading list (or extended!)? I am not all the way through the episode, so you may get to that, but I am sure there would be many interested to see the pratical and speculative texts that formed both Mr. and Mrs. Dougherty.

One thing that isn't discussed here too much is globalization and that is the imperial scope of politics. What is the effect of globalization on farming market? Has income been sucked out of farmers due to opening to cheap labour markets? And if so, then obviously it will be hard for people to live radically if the imperial system is set against them. Globalization and deindustrialization lead to metropolization of societies - you have to look at this.

I want to preface this by saying I have learned a lot from following these podcasts, I think the work New Polity is doing is generally good, and I think the basic thrust of this particular series is good too (relying on ourselves and our neighbors for food, to the extent we can, I think is an unqualified good!) That said, there are a few comments here that are either wrong or at least lack the evidence necessary to make them. For instance, if you are going to insinuate that our diets are causing increased rates of autism, you need to be able to provide some evidence for that beyond "I didn't know any autistic people growing up." As far as I can tell the rise in autism seems pretty well explained by changes in diagnostic criteria. Also, there seems to be a clear stance here that GMOs are bad. Maybe they are, I don't know, but I also don't know why they would be. It's worth noting that it's not exclusively BIG AG(TM) that's endorsing GMOs: that's also the position of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. If you are going to take the position that GMOs are bad, there just has to be a stronger basis. Again, I think there are dozens of reasons why more localized food production is worth pursuing, many of which you've talked about, but at times this conversation feels like it veers awfully close to an anti-intellectualism which can undermine your broader message (which I think is basically good!)
@theplaceiputmyprojects54982 жыл бұрын
I'm in full agreement. This is a holistic issue so there might be an impulse here to localize the solution to every problem in local food production - which leads to improperly founded claims like those you mentioned.

Marc, Great topic. Did you open the podcast with an intro of the topic and the guests? I missed it, I guess. Who are these beautiful people? Also, I made a change in 2021 that I will no longer plant for aesthetic reasons only but food first and if it has beauty-then thanks be to God. Last year was blueberries for bushes in the front yard and asparagus for greenery on the side of the house.
