Brookfield author, farmer, and lawyer John Klar discussed Big Government’s attack on small farm producers recently on the “Relatable” podcast hosted by Allie Beth Stuckey, which boasts more than 400,000 followers.
“On the left, they’re trying to weaponize food. They’re saying it’s all about equity,” Klar tells Stuckey. “They’re saying it’s all about cows, and then climate change comes in. But in the end, people need to eat.”
Klar, author of “Small Farm Republic: Why Conservatives Must Embrace Local Agriculture, Reject Climate Alarmism, and Lead an Environmental Revival,” and Stuckey discuss the importance of small, independent farming and the food economy.
They also address why climate activism seems to be a growing religion. They ask why climate activists are trying to get rid of things like cows, which give us food, when things that don’t give us food, such as fireworks, generate many more carbon emissions.
Klar also talks about his getting Lyme disease and how healthy food became essential for healing. They also address the cease and desist he was handed from PETA.
