French Farmer Protests, Coal’s Comeback, and the Truth About Agriculture with Teresa Platt
They challenge the demonization of butter and highlight why natural butter is actually good for human health.
The discussion shifts to energy, where Teresa raises the question: is coal ready for a comeback? She explains how coal-fired power plants could be brought back online quickly to restore affordable, reliable energy. They also address the alarming loss of fertile farmland in the Netherlands due to urban sprawl—similar to what Teresa witnessed in Southern California. The episode underscores how agriculture is constantly attacked for contributing to climate change and resource use, yet society conveniently ignores the fact that agriculture is the foundation of food production itself.
This conversation is a rallying cry for defending farmers, protecting land, and rethinking how we view energy and food security in a world quick to demonize the very industries that keep us alive.
