Eugene is a Chek Institute certified holistic health coach who specializes in fat loss and operates TrufkinAthletics.com He is also the author of the book “Anti-factory Farming Shopping Guide.” We get into the truth about grass-fed, cage-free and USDA organics. This episode taught me a lot about things I thought I already knew in regards to food and farming practices. We don’t just explore the problems that are out there, we also discuss possible solutions from an everyday consumer standpoint and we also get into the challenge of being a conscious business owner in the farming industry.
