Discover European Vs American Food, $10k Farm Memberships & What's Really In Your McDonald's Fries

Ep 214 | DISCOS 🕺 in this episode, Natalie and Tara explore one of the most fascinating delivery routes in America: a team of mules carrying mail down 2,000 feet into the Grand Canyon to reach the Supai tribe. It's a powerful blend of tradition, logistics, and modern rural resilience.

From there, they head to Portugal for a chat about European food culture and smaller portions and slower meals. A new series on glyphosate and GMOs is also teased, promising a balanced deep dive into one of agriculture's most heated debates.

Nat and Tara weigh in on the Sweet Honey Farm wellness club charging up to $10K/year for farm access, a potato farmer's takedown of viral McDonald's fry misinformation.

Plus, a special interview with a potato farmer named Buddy Jorde from Eastern New Mexico
