    Chicken Confidential with Blue Apron Co-Founder, Matthew Wadiak

    We're cracking open the "chicken industry" egg and breaking down why it's vital to care about the chickens we're eating. Host John Robert Sutton speaks with Matthew Wadiak (Co-founder and Former COO of Blue Apron, Former Founder/CEO of Cooks Venture, and Board Member at Goodwill International) to help us better understand one the most eaten protein in the world, chicken, and how to make better decisions around its consumption. We learn what the difference is between a free range chicken and an industrial chicken, why it's dangerous to continue to give chickens antibiotics, and how important wild foraging is for chickens and land. We also learn many usable takeaways from Matthew including how to take steps to ensure we're eating high-quality chicken and what to look for when purchasing eggs. Matthew expands on other related subjects such as: why it's increasingly dangerous that the people running agriculture don't understand agriculture, what it means to have 60% of our biggest GDP crop being used to make ethanol, how the private equity community can get involved in a more positive way, and why food buyers and cooks have a responsibility to know where the food they serve is coming from. This episode is not meant to scare us, but to help us make better and more informed decisions when buying something that's going to go inside of our bodies. As Matthew says, we are not what we eat, we are what we eat eats. -- The views expressed by guests of CurtCo Media podcasts do not represent that of CurtCo Media.
