    New Dietary Guidelines & The Questions No One Is Asking But Should

    The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans are being framed as more than nutrition advice. This time, the language goes further—talking about realigning the food system, supporting American farmers and ranchers, and ensuring real food is affordable for families. That framing matters. In this episode of One Bite Is Everything, host Dana DiPrima steps back from the loud reactions about food groups and asks a different set of questions—ones that have largely been missing from the conversation since the Guidelines were released. If we are truly asking Americans to eat more real food, what would actually need to change in the system that produces, processes, prices, and distributes food in this country? And if farmers and ranchers are being named directly, what does real support look like beyond words? This episode explores: Why the visible role of the Secretary of Agriculture signals a shift from personal nutrition advice to a system-level claimWhat “eat real food” demands from production, infrastructure, and incentives—not just eatersHow import dependence, consolidation, and existing constraints complicate the promise to support American growersWhy affordability is a policy outcome, not a matter of education or willpowerWhere misalignment between guidance and incentives could quietly shift pressure onto farmers and familiesHow procurement, policy, and funding will ultimately determine whether this moment leads to real change—or remains rhetorical This is not a reaction episode. It’s a thinking episode. Rather than applauding or condemning the new Guidelines, Dana takes their language seriously—and asks what realignment would actually require if the promise is meant to hold. If you care about food, farming, affordability, and the systems that connect them, this episode is an invitation to slow down and look beneath the surface.

    A Quiet Revolution: What Small Farms Need in 2026

    2026 doesn’t feel like a trend year. It feels like a decision year. In this solo episode of One Bite is Everything, Dana DiPrima reflects on what she’s heard over the past year from farmers, eaters, and innovators across the food system and why small farms can’t keep fighting the same battles the same way. This conversation isn’t about predictions or hot takes. It’s about pressure points. The quiet, accumulating strain that asks small farms to absorb rising costs, explain themselves endlessly, and compete with convenience culture one customer at a time. That approach isn’t resilience. It’s erosion. Drawing from conversations, grant applications, interviews, and the For Farmers Movement Listening Tour, Dana explores what changes when we actually listen to farmers and design systems around how they really live and work. In this episode, we cover: Why the old “tell your story better” playbook isn’t enough anymoreWhat farmers are telling us about stability, scale, and exhaustionFive forks in the road facing small farms in 2026, from cost and convenience to collective powerWhy incremental fixes won’t solve structural problemsWhat a real, quiet small-farm revolution could look likeThe role eaters must play in changing expectations and sharing the burden This episode is an invitation. To think differently. To ask better questions. And to decide what we’re willing to stand behind in 2026.

    Lessons from Clean Beauty for a Better Food System

    What if the future of food follows the same path as clean beauty? In this episode of One Bite is Everything, host Dana DiPrima continues a broader conversation about innovation, transparency, and consumer power—this time through the lens of food. After exploring how climate and systems innovation can spark change across industries, this conversation asks a parallel question: What happens when everyday shoppers are finally given clarity about what they’re buying? Dana is joined by Sam Citro Alexander, founder and CEO of FoodHealth Co., whose career began inside the beauty industry during the rise of the clean beauty movement. Sam watched consumers force massive brands to reformulate products once ingredients became visible, understandable, and comparable—and she believes food is now standing at the same inflection point. FoodHealth is building tools to help shoppers cut through the noise of modern grocery stores, using a 1-to-100 food health score that looks at ingredient quality and nutrient density. That work is already influencing major retailers, brands, and how food shows up on shelves—quietly reshaping the system from the inside out. In this conversation, Dana and Sam explore: How clean beauty offers a real-world blueprint for food system changeWhy transparency, not willpower, is the missing ingredient in healthier eatingWhat data from billions of grocery purchases reveals about American dietsWhy price is food’s version of “efficacy”—and the biggest barrier to changeHow kids’ foods, convenience culture, and ultra-processed staples shape lifelong healthWhat happens when better information starts influencing what brands make and sell This episode connects innovation to everyday choices—and shows how consumer clarity can ripple outward, influencing health outcomes, agricultural demand, and the future of our food system. Because when people can see clearly, systems have to respond. For more information about Food Health Co. — https://www.foodhealth.co Get the FREE app to track your food score!

    Murphy & Gentle Pressure: An Origin Story of Sorts

    This Christmas Day episode of One Bite is Everything is a little different. Instead of a conversation about policy, food systems, or what’s broken, Dana takes listeners back to the farm—and to the donkey who quietly anchored it all. Murphy arrived in the summer of 2015. He was small, gentle, and lonely. He came with a long life expectancy and, unknowingly, a long list of lessons. Over time, Murphy became the reason an accidental farm stopped being a side project and became a commitment. Chickens are one thing. Goats are another. A donkey who might live 40 to 50 years asks you to think in decades. This episode traces how that mindset -- long-term thinking, patience, and what Dana calls gentle pressure -- shaped not just life on the farm, but the work that would eventually become the For Farmers Movement and this podcast. One Bite is Everything was born from the belief that food does not exist in isolation. It is shaped by people, land, animals, time, and care. And so is change. Most meaningful work does not happen instantly. It takes staying power. It takes showing up again and again. It takes moving forward slowly, but with intention. Murphy’s story mirrors that arc. Learning to lead a donkey means never rushing, never forcing, and never losing sight of where you’re headed. It turns out that same approach applies to farming, to building trust with farmers, and to creating a podcast and movement rooted in connection rather than urgency alone. This episode is a reminder to slow down, take the long view, and honor the quiet forces that make everything else possible. Happy birthday, Murph.

    Climate Innovation as a Blueprint for Systems Change — with Josh Dorfman

    In this episode of One Bite is Everything, host Dana DiPrima sits down with climate entrepreneur and Supercool CEO Josh Dorfman for a wide-ranging conversation about how innovation in the climate space is quietly rewriting the rules for how change actually happens. Rather than focusing on individual sacrifice or guilt, this conversation explores systems — and why the most effective climate solutions succeed not because people try harder, but because better choices are designed to be easier, cheaper, and inevitable. Josh shares real-world examples from across industries, from electric trucking and clean infrastructure to agriculture and building materials, revealing a powerful pattern: when innovation works in one sector, it can spark change far beyond it. This episode is especially relevant for anyone thinking about the future of food and farming. As Dana and Josh discuss, farmers are already some of the most sophisticated systems thinkers we have — navigating economics, ecology, technology, and risk every day. What’s happening in climate and tech may offer a blueprint for how we support small and mid-sized farmers, strengthen regional economies, and build more resilient systems in the years ahead. This is a conversation about momentum, not perfection. About small steps that point toward something much bigger. And about how the future is built — not bought. In this episode, we explore:Why adoption matters more than awareness when it comes to real changeHow climate innovation succeeds by removing friction instead of adding guiltWhat electric trucking and clean infrastructure teach us about systems changeHow agriculture fits into the broader climate and tech landscapeWhy listening to farmers is essential to designing solutions that lastWhat these lessons mean as we look toward 2026 and beyond About the GuestJosh Dorfman is a climate entrepreneur, author, and media personality. He is the CEO and host of Supercool, a media company covering real-world climate solutions that cut carbon, increase profits, and enhance modern life. Josh was previously the co-founder and CEO of Plantd, a carbon-negative building materials company named to Fast Company’s list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies. He is also known for his work as The Lazy Environmentalist, a brand that became an award-winning television series, radio show, and two books.

    The Evergreen Episode: Our Annual Trip to Tuckaway Trees

    Each December I bring back this listener favorite because it captures the magic, the work, and the heart behind one of the season’s most beloved traditions. Today, we visit Ashley at Tuckaway Trees, a family-run Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania that has become an evergreen part of this show.

We also explore a short history of why we bring trees indoors at all, a tradition that begins long before Christmas and now relies on farmers who spend nearly a decade growing each tree you bring home. If you love seasonal farming, holiday rituals, or simply want a peek behind the scenes of a Christmas tree farm, this episode will make your season brighter.
