Can a chicken coop double as a classroom? Joel Salatin says yes—and the report card is glowing. In this episode of Beyond Labels, Joel regales us with true tales from farm- and forest-based schools, where math is measured in fence posts, biology smells faintly of manure, and students emerge more curious, confident, and connected to the real world.

Then we open the barn doors to your questions:

• Parasite heartbreak – Joel walks a listener through why a flock crashed and how to bounce back.
• Bee-booby-trapped wood chips? What to do when mulch comes with stingers.
• Bird-flu knock-knock: Is it legal to politely (or not‐so‐politely) refuse government testers at your gate?
• Healing wins: Shout-outs to listeners who reversed chronic issues.

Join us for a lively mix of storytelling, practical tips, and proof that real education—and real health—often start right outside the back door.

We’d love to hear from you! Our Community Question this week is:

“Have you encountered any type of nature or farm school setting? If so, how were your kids affected?

DISCLAIMER

Your doctor may want to prescribe you meat, butter, or broccoli instead of meds—but federal dietary rules can make that illegal, muzzling practitioners who stray outside the carb-heavy playbook.

In MAHA Mania — Part 2 we expose how those same rules now drive a crusade against “ultraprocessed foods,” rallying researchers, MDs, and even a former FDA chief to demand a second food-guide pyramid.

We also unpack the flashy new biomarker billed as a dietary lie detector and ask whether this latest bout of reductionism will warp politics and reshape what lands on your plate.

We want to hear from you!

This week’s Community Question is:

Have you ever cut anything out of your diet or made a change in your diet? If so, what di you find out about yourself and that food?
