    Re-imagining our future through food and hunting with Danny Christensen

    This week I speak to Danny Christensen, a hunter among many things. And also a man with a passion for nature, animal welfare and health. I learned a lot from my 1 and a half hour conversation. One that rolled with me for days after. New questions arrived, New threads and a real desire to have more conversations around the way we consume, produce and honor the food we eat. There are many questions still. We both want to keep this thread alive, as it is something we need to have a serious look at. As for hunting there are many opinions and feelings attached. Should we eat meat? Should we hunt as modern people. Or should we think differently about the system as a whole? Please listen in and bring your thoughts and questions!   The illustration for this weeks podcast Is donated by beautiful artist Cille Vengberg   IN THIS EPISODE WE TOUCH ON Food production and consumption. Rejecting the general food system. Consuming and harvesting wildlife. Ethical dilemmas in food consumption. Ethical consumption and environmental impact. Veganism and connection to nature.
