around the globe began to eat the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables, there wouldn't be enough to go around. That's the conclusion of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(19)30095-6/fulltext\">new study published in The Lancet Planetary Health\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, only about 55% of people around the globe live in countries with adequate availability of fruits and vegetables – enough to meet the \u003ca href=\"https://www.who.int/dietphysicalactivity/fruit/en/\">World Health Organization's minimum target of 400 grams per person, per day\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With economic growth, presumably, production will expand.

And it's become increasingly clear that current dietary patterns are detrimental to the environment, too. Recent studies, including the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2019/01/27/688765872/this-diet-is-better-for-the-planet-but-is-it-better-for-you-too\">EAT-Lancet study\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://globalnutritionreport.org/\">Global Nutrition Report\u003c/a>, have pointed to the need for a radical shift in the food system aimed at nudging people toward more nutritious and sustainable diets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Current diets are detrimental to both human and planetary health and shifting towards more balanced, predominantly plant-based diets is seen as crucial to improving both,\" write the authors of the new \u003cem>Lancet Planetary Health\u003c/em> study. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, the global supply of calories is more than enough to meet consumption. But many people eat poor-quality diets \"characterized by cheap calories, highly processed foods and overconsumption,\" the study concludes. These factors promote obesity – so we now live in a world where many people are simultaneously overweight and malnourished. The challenge is to promote a food system that moves \"its focus from quantity toward dietary quality and health,\" The authors conclude. The study authors include researchers from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ifpri.org/\">International Food Policy Research Institute\u003c/a> in Washington, D.C., and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.csiro.au/\">Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation\u003c/a> in Australia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The authors argue that several actions are needed to meet the challenges: increased investments in fruit and vegetable production; increased efforts to educate people about the importance of healthy diets; and – given that about one-third of food produced globally is wasted – new technologies and practices to reduce food waste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The predictions for fruit and vegetable shortfalls are based on modeling. The researchers draw on food production data, but there is uncertainty in their estimates, given factors such as a lack of data on global waste. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, they forecast that several countries will make gains in the availability of produce — such as India and Morocco. But Mexico and several countries in Central and South America, sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and the Pacific region will likely fail to have adequate supplies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another \u003ca href=\"http://www.sustainablefoodfuture.org/executive-summary-synthesis\">new report released Tuesday\u003c/a>, from the World Resources Institute, focuses on ways to reform the food system to improve the health of the planet. It's a deep-dive that's been years in the making by a group of widely respected, science-based analysts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They argue that we need to close three key gaps in order to feed the projected 9.8 billion people that will inhabit the planet by 2050: the food gap, the land gap and the greenhouse gas gap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consider this: The difference between the amount of food produced in 2010 and the amount we need by 2050 is an estimated \u003cem>7,400 trillion calories\u003c/em>, according to the report. Yes, the number is so big that it's hard to imagine it. But the bottom line is, we need to get more calories from the world's current cropland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One way to do this is through improvements in breeding and technological advancements. The report spells out other fixes, too, including reducing the use of biofuels that divert edible crops to produce energy and reducing food waste. (The group \u003ca href=\"http://www.refed.com/\">ReFED\u003c/a> has laid out these cost-effective strategies to cut food waste). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet another proposed fix: Nudge people toward a more plant-centered diet. Currently, agriculture uses nearly half of the globe's vegetated land – and at least 30 percent of all cropland is used to grow feed for animals. The resource intensiveness of meat production is a leading cause of deforestation. If current trends continue, the WRI report estimates that we'd need an extra 593 million hectares – an area that is almost twice the size of India — to feed the population in 2050.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, agriculture and the land-use changes associated with producing food — such as plowing and clearing vegetation — generate an estimated 25 percent of annual greenhouse gas emissions, according to WRI. If today's consumption trends continue, but agricultural productivity does not increase (beyond 2010 levels), the report concludes that we would have to clear most of the globe's remaining forests to feed the world. And we'd exceed the greenhouse gas emission targets set by the Paris Agreement, which call for holding global warming below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial temperatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruminant livestock (including cattle, sheep and goats) use an estimated two-thirds of all the land dedicated to agriculture and contribute about half of the greenhouse gas emissions linked to agriculture. Demand for meat is growing as more people, in more countries, can afford it. But the report concludes that cutting back on ruminant meat consumption could have a significant impact. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The WRI estimates that if people in the U.S. and other heavy meat-eating countries reduced their consumption of beef (and other meat from ruminants) to \u003ca href=\"https://www.wri.org/blog/2019/04/6-pressing-questions-about-beef-and-climate-change-answered\">about 1.5 burgers per person\u003c/a>, per week, it would \"nearly eliminate the need for additional agricultural expansion (and associated deforestation), even in a world with 10 billion people.\" (The Better Buying Lab, an arm of WRI that focuses on getting people to eat more sustainably, has come up with some \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2019/02/10/692114918/how-to-get-meat-eaters-to-eat-more-plant-based-foods-make-their-mouths-water\">clever research-backed marketing ideas\u003c/a> to get people to make the plant-centric switch.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The WRI's new findings are similar to recommendation made earlier this year by the EAT- Lancet study. A meat industry-funded group has responded to calls for cuts in meat consumption with its own analysis that concludes limiting meat and dairy consumption would have negative consequences. In this \u003ca href=\"https://resources.animalagalliance.org/ClimateFoodFacts/\"> analysis\u003c/a>, the Animal Agriculture Alliance concludes that meat and dairy provide \"unmatched nutrition for healthy bodies, brains and bones.\" The analysis also concludes that \"U.S. farmers and ranchers continue to make huge strides in conserving natural resources and protecting the environment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the population continues to grow, the conversations around how to change the food system to promote good health and environmental sustainability will go on. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2019 NPR.

But many people eat poor-quality diets \"characterized by cheap calories, highly processed foods and overconsumption,\" the study concludes. These factors promote obesity – so we now live in a world where many people are simultaneously overweight and malnourished. The challenge is to promote a food system that moves \"its focus from quantity toward dietary quality and health,\" The authors conclude. The study authors include researchers from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ifpri.org/\">International Food Policy Research Institute\u003c/a> in Washington, D.C., and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.csiro.au/\">Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation\u003c/a> in Australia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The authors argue that several actions are needed to meet the challenges: increased investments in fruit and vegetable production; increased efforts to educate people about the importance of healthy diets; and – given that about one-third of food produced globally is wasted – new technologies and practices to reduce food waste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The predictions for fruit and vegetable shortfalls are based on modeling. The researchers draw on food production data, but there is uncertainty in their estimates, given factors such as a lack of data on global waste. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, they forecast that several countries will make gains in the availability of produce — such as India and Morocco. But Mexico and several countries in Central and South America, sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and the Pacific region will likely fail to have adequate supplies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another \u003ca href=\"http://www.sustainablefoodfuture.org/executive-summary-synthesis\">new report released Tuesday\u003c/a>, from the World Resources Institute, focuses on ways to reform the food system to improve the health of the planet. It's a deep-dive that's been years in the making by a group of widely respected, science-based analysts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They argue that we need to close three key gaps in order to feed the projected 9.8 billion people that will inhabit the planet by 2050: the food gap, the land gap and the greenhouse gas gap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consider this: The difference between the amount of food produced in 2010 and the amount we need by 2050 is an estimated \u003cem>7,400 trillion calories\u003c/em>, according to the report. Yes, the number is so big that it's hard to imagine it. But the bottom line is, we need to get more calories from the world's current cropland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One way to do this is through improvements in breeding and technological advancements. The report spells out other fixes, too, including reducing the use of biofuels that divert edible crops to produce energy and reducing food waste. (The group \u003ca href=\"http://www.refed.com/\">ReFED\u003c/a> has laid out these cost-effective strategies to cut food waste). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet another proposed fix: Nudge people toward a more plant-centered diet. Currently, agriculture uses nearly half of the globe's vegetated land – and at least 30 percent of all cropland is used to grow feed for animals. The resource intensiveness of meat production is a leading cause of deforestation. If current trends continue, the WRI report estimates that we'd need an extra 593 million hectares – an area that is almost twice the size of India — to feed the population in 2050.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, agriculture and the land-use changes associated with producing food — such as plowing and clearing vegetation — generate an estimated 25 percent of annual greenhouse gas emissions, according to WRI. If today's consumption trends continue, but agricultural productivity does not increase (beyond 2010 levels), the report concludes that we would have to clear most of the globe's remaining forests to feed the world. And we'd exceed the greenhouse gas emission targets set by the Paris Agreement, which call for holding global warming below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial temperatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruminant livestock (including cattle, sheep and goats) use an estimated two-thirds of all the land dedicated to agriculture and contribute about half of the greenhouse gas emissions linked to agriculture. Demand for meat is growing as more people, in more countries, can afford it. But the report concludes that cutting back on ruminant meat consumption could have a significant impact. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The WRI estimates that if people in the U.S. and other heavy meat-eating countries reduced their consumption of beef (and other meat from ruminants) to \u003ca href=\"https://www.wri.org/blog/2019/04/6-pressing-questions-about-beef-and-climate-change-answered\">about 1.5 burgers per person\u003c/a>, per week, it would \"nearly eliminate the need for additional agricultural expansion (and associated deforestation), even in a world with 10 billion people.\" (The Better Buying Lab, an arm of WRI that focuses on getting people to eat more sustainably, has come up with some \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2019/02/10/692114918/how-to-get-meat-eaters-to-eat-more-plant-based-foods-make-their-mouths-water\">clever research-backed marketing ideas\u003c/a> to get people to make the plant-centric switch.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The WRI's new findings are similar to recommendation made earlier this year by the EAT- Lancet study. A meat industry-funded group has responded to calls for cuts in meat consumption with its own analysis that concludes limiting meat and dairy consumption would have negative consequences. In this \u003ca href=\"https://resources.animalagalliance.org/ClimateFoodFacts/\"> analysis\u003c/a>, the Animal Agriculture Alliance concludes that meat and dairy provide \"unmatched nutrition for healthy bodies, brains and bones.\" The analysis also concludes that \"U.S. farmers and ranchers continue to make huge strides in conserving natural resources and protecting the environment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the population continues to grow, the conversations around how to change the food system to promote good health and environmental sustainability will go on. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2019 NPR.

Occasionally, it even doubles as\u003ca href=\"https://delightedbyhummus.com/\"> dessert\u003c/a>. Last year, Americans spent four times as much money on grocery store hummus as they did a decade before, according to the latest consumer surveys, and a growing number of snacks and fast-casual concepts also feature the fiber- and protein-rich chickpea as their \u003cem>pièce de résistance.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of a subcategory of legumes called pulses, chickpeas — along with lentils, dry peas and several varieties of beans — have been a critical crop and foodstuff for centuries in Middle Eastern and Asian countries. The crops are so promising that the United Nations deemed 2016 the \u003ca href=\"https://www.crops.org/iyp\">Year of Pulses\u003c/a> to expand interest in these ancient foods and their potential to help solve dueling modern-day conundrums: hunger and soil depreciation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some American farmers were already well on their way to embracing pulses, seeing the role they could play in improving soil health and setting the stage for better harvests of cash crops like wheat. Last year, U.S. farmers planted more chickpeas than ever to satisfy growing demand for plant-based protein alternatives — which, in turn, could help restore soils depleted by decades of intensive farming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike corn or wheat, these pulses fix their own nitrogen from the atmosphere, leaving extra stores of the nutrient in the soil for future crops to consume. For this reason, pulses can play a vital role in crop rotations, especially those that don't rely on chemical fertilizers. What's more, if managed well, these crops can be part of a farming system that sequesters carbon from the atmosphere and helps mitigate climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I see this diversification and these legumes as a way to get away from the use of synthetic nitrogen,\" says Casey Bailey, a farmer in Fort Benton, Mont., who grows organic chickpeas as the linchpin of a rotational planting program. \"They're a tricky crop to grow, but I'm a huge proponent of trying to figure out how to do it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134126\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1412px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-134126\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/gettyimages-128069826-bbd47af959f13a4937053aa5540bc3ea6de0159e.jpg\" alt=\"Chickpeas are often called by their Spanish name, garbanzos or garbanzo beans, in the United States.\" width=\"1412\" height=\"1059\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/gettyimages-128069826-bbd47af959f13a4937053aa5540bc3ea6de0159e.jpg 1412w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/gettyimages-128069826-bbd47af959f13a4937053aa5540bc3ea6de0159e-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/gettyimages-128069826-bbd47af959f13a4937053aa5540bc3ea6de0159e-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/gettyimages-128069826-bbd47af959f13a4937053aa5540bc3ea6de0159e-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/gettyimages-128069826-bbd47af959f13a4937053aa5540bc3ea6de0159e-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/gettyimages-128069826-bbd47af959f13a4937053aa5540bc3ea6de0159e-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1412px) 100vw, 1412px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chickpeas are often called by their Spanish name, garbanzos or garbanzo beans, in the United States. \u003ccite>(Inga Spence/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He sells about 2,000 pounds of chickpeas each month to\u003ca href=\"http://eatlittlesesame.com/menu/\"> Little Sesame\u003c/a>, a fast-casual concept serving hummus bowls topped with seasonal vegetables at a pair of locations in the District of Columbia. Chef-owners Nick Wiseman and Israeli-born Ronen Tenne soak the dried chickpeas for hours before cooking and blending them (with tahini, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice) into daily batches to satiate the city's lunch and after-work crowds — often without adding meat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't say it much, but 80% of the menu is always vegan,\" Wiseman says. \"It's awesome to see people who would probably eat meat every day come in here and be satisfied without it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Wiseman, the cherry on top of opening a second location this year is getting to buy more kabuli chickpeas from Bailey, whom he'll visit this summer during a road trip in\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/ByC8GC-Br7U/\"> Little Sesame's 1978 Volkswagen van\u003c/a>. Creating markets for such legumes — particularly those grown without chemicals such as desiccants used to dry chickpeas in the fields — is a growing interest for Wiseman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These (chickpeas) are helping restore the grasslands of the West, which are this huge carbon sink,\" Wiseman says over a bowl of hummus topped with snap peas and Aleppo chili oil at his Chinatown location. \"They're a very powerful plant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bailey planted his first few hundred acres of chickpeas a dozen years ago, after a retailer looking to sell more of the healthful legumes reached out to him on LinkedIn, making him a pioneer in Montana's grain-heavy Golden Triangle region. But word was spreading that the chickpea could pull in more money per pound than other legumes, while reducing the need for chemical inputs compared with crops like wheat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Tim McGreevy started working in 1994 as the CEO of the\u003ca href=\"https://www.usapulses.org/\"> USA Dry Pea & Lentil Council and the American Pulse Association\u003c/a> — a trade group that trumpets the power of chickpeas, lentils, dry peas and beans — the country was harvesting about 30,000 acres of chickpeas annually, primarily in the hilly Palouse agricultural region of Washington, Idaho and Oregon. By last year, that number had swelled to 859,000 acres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's a pretty big difference in 25 years,\" says McGreevy, who also grows chickpeas on a small farm in Eastern Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year in particular, Bailey says, \"it seemed like the entire state of Montana was chickpeas.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While about half of the country's chickpea harvest is still shipped overseas, a growing number of chickpeas are going to domestic markets as demand increases. Trade disputes also are making international markets less reliable. In 2019, U.S. farmers reduced for the first time in years the number of acres they planned to plant in chickpeas, down to 519,000 acres. Volatile trade riffs with countries such as India in 2018 left much of that year's harvest\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/31/678416352/chickpeas-sit-in-silos-as-trumps-trade-wars-wage-on\"> sitting in silos\u003c/a>, where an oversupply has continued to depress chickpea prices this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The saving grace — and why I'm still optimistic — is the domestic market continues to grow for all pulse crops,\" McGreevy says.

Occasionally, it even doubles as\u003ca href=\"https://delightedbyhummus.com/\"> dessert\u003c/a>. Last year, Americans spent four times as much money on grocery store hummus as they did a decade before, according to the latest consumer surveys, and a growing number of snacks and fast-casual concepts also feature the fiber- and protein-rich chickpea as their \u003cem>pièce de résistance.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of a subcategory of legumes called pulses, chickpeas — along with lentils, dry peas and several varieties of beans — have been a critical crop and foodstuff for centuries in Middle Eastern and Asian countries. The crops are so promising that the United Nations deemed 2016 the \u003ca href=\"https://www.crops.org/iyp\">Year of Pulses\u003c/a> to expand interest in these ancient foods and their potential to help solve dueling modern-day conundrums: hunger and soil depreciation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some American farmers were already well on their way to embracing pulses, seeing the role they could play in improving soil health and setting the stage for better harvests of cash crops like wheat. Last year, U.S. farmers planted more chickpeas than ever to satisfy growing demand for plant-based protein alternatives — which, in turn, could help restore soils depleted by decades of intensive farming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike corn or wheat, these pulses fix their own nitrogen from the atmosphere, leaving extra stores of the nutrient in the soil for future crops to consume. For this reason, pulses can play a vital role in crop rotations, especially those that don't rely on chemical fertilizers. What's more, if managed well, these crops can be part of a farming system that sequesters carbon from the atmosphere and helps mitigate climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I see this diversification and these legumes as a way to get away from the use of synthetic nitrogen,\" says Casey Bailey, a farmer in Fort Benton, Mont., who grows organic chickpeas as the linchpin of a rotational planting program. \"They're a tricky crop to grow, but I'm a huge proponent of trying to figure out how to do it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134126\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1412px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-134126\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/gettyimages-128069826-bbd47af959f13a4937053aa5540bc3ea6de0159e.jpg\" alt=\"Chickpeas are often called by their Spanish name, garbanzos or garbanzo beans, in the United States.\" width=\"1412\" height=\"1059\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/gettyimages-128069826-bbd47af959f13a4937053aa5540bc3ea6de0159e.jpg 1412w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/gettyimages-128069826-bbd47af959f13a4937053aa5540bc3ea6de0159e-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/gettyimages-128069826-bbd47af959f13a4937053aa5540bc3ea6de0159e-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/gettyimages-128069826-bbd47af959f13a4937053aa5540bc3ea6de0159e-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/gettyimages-128069826-bbd47af959f13a4937053aa5540bc3ea6de0159e-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/gettyimages-128069826-bbd47af959f13a4937053aa5540bc3ea6de0159e-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1412px) 100vw, 1412px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chickpeas are often called by their Spanish name, garbanzos or garbanzo beans, in the United States. \u003ccite>(Inga Spence/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He sells about 2,000 pounds of chickpeas each month to\u003ca href=\"http://eatlittlesesame.com/menu/\"> Little Sesame\u003c/a>, a fast-casual concept serving hummus bowls topped with seasonal vegetables at a pair of locations in the District of Columbia. Chef-owners Nick Wiseman and Israeli-born Ronen Tenne soak the dried chickpeas for hours before cooking and blending them (with tahini, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice) into daily batches to satiate the city's lunch and after-work crowds — often without adding meat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't say it much, but 80% of the menu is always vegan,\" Wiseman says. \"It's awesome to see people who would probably eat meat every day come in here and be satisfied without it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Wiseman, the cherry on top of opening a second location this year is getting to buy more kabuli chickpeas from Bailey, whom he'll visit this summer during a road trip in\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/ByC8GC-Br7U/\"> Little Sesame's 1978 Volkswagen van\u003c/a>. Creating markets for such legumes — particularly those grown without chemicals such as desiccants used to dry chickpeas in the fields — is a growing interest for Wiseman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These (chickpeas) are helping restore the grasslands of the West, which are this huge carbon sink,\" Wiseman says over a bowl of hummus topped with snap peas and Aleppo chili oil at his Chinatown location. \"They're a very powerful plant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bailey planted his first few hundred acres of chickpeas a dozen years ago, after a retailer looking to sell more of the healthful legumes reached out to him on LinkedIn, making him a pioneer in Montana's grain-heavy Golden Triangle region. But word was spreading that the chickpea could pull in more money per pound than other legumes, while reducing the need for chemical inputs compared with crops like wheat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Tim McGreevy started working in 1994 as the CEO of the\u003ca href=\"https://www.usapulses.org/\"> USA Dry Pea & Lentil Council and the American Pulse Association\u003c/a> — a trade group that trumpets the power of chickpeas, lentils, dry peas and beans — the country was harvesting about 30,000 acres of chickpeas annually, primarily in the hilly Palouse agricultural region of Washington, Idaho and Oregon. By last year, that number had swelled to 859,000 acres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's a pretty big difference in 25 years,\" says McGreevy, who also grows chickpeas on a small farm in Eastern Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year in particular, Bailey says, \"it seemed like the entire state of Montana was chickpeas.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While about half of the country's chickpea harvest is still shipped overseas, a growing number of chickpeas are going to domestic markets as demand increases. Trade disputes also are making international markets less reliable. In 2019, U.S. farmers reduced for the first time in years the number of acres they planned to plant in chickpeas, down to 519,000 acres. Volatile trade riffs with countries such as India in 2018 left much of that year's harvest\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/31/678416352/chickpeas-sit-in-silos-as-trumps-trade-wars-wage-on\"> sitting in silos\u003c/a>, where an oversupply has continued to depress chickpea prices this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The saving grace — and why I'm still optimistic — is the domestic market continues to grow for all pulse crops,\" McGreevy says. He thinks the lower price could also spur even more innovation of chickpea-based foods. \"Chickpeas have, in particular, shown significant growth in sales over the past decade.\"\u003cbr>\n\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-134129\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/lilses.jan_.8.201914_custom-46c90909511fbe6a0c4e0a911363adfa9a25790f-s1600-c85.jpg\" alt=\"Americans spent nearly $800 million on hummus from retail stores in 2018.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1065\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/lilses.jan_.8.201914_custom-46c90909511fbe6a0c4e0a911363adfa9a25790f-s1600-c85.jpg 1600w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/lilses.jan_.8.201914_custom-46c90909511fbe6a0c4e0a911363adfa9a25790f-s1600-c85-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/lilses.jan_.8.201914_custom-46c90909511fbe6a0c4e0a911363adfa9a25790f-s1600-c85-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/lilses.jan_.8.201914_custom-46c90909511fbe6a0c4e0a911363adfa9a25790f-s1600-c85-768x511.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/lilses.jan_.8.201914_custom-46c90909511fbe6a0c4e0a911363adfa9a25790f-s1600-c85-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/lilses.jan_.8.201914_custom-46c90909511fbe6a0c4e0a911363adfa9a25790f-s1600-c85-1200x799.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\">\u003cbr>\nAmericans spent nearly $800 million on hummus from retail stores in 2018, McGreevy says.

He says changes can signal that a person is starting to pay attention to one's diet — or starting to actively disregard it.

But it can establish an association. Sherman says one drawback of all observational nutrition studies is that it's hard to disentangle the independent effect of changes in meat consumption from other lifestyle factors such as body weight, exercise, alcohol consumption, etc. But these new findings are consistent with a larger body of evidence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hu notes that in this new study, as well as in previous research, the risks associated with red meat consumption are higher — and most pronounced — with \u003cem>processed\u003c/em> red meats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Processed meats typically contain high amounts of sodium and preservatives,\" Hu says.

He says changes can signal that a person is starting to pay attention to one's diet — or starting to actively disregard it. And these changes \"have consistently positive or negative impacts, respectively, on their risk for chronic disease: obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and cancer,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an observational study, so it can't prove cause and effect between diet and death. But it can establish an association. Sherman says one drawback of all observational nutrition studies is that it's hard to disentangle the independent effect of changes in meat consumption from other lifestyle factors such as body weight, exercise, alcohol consumption, etc. But these new findings are consistent with a larger body of evidence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hu notes that in this new study, as well as in previous research, the risks associated with red meat consumption are higher — and most pronounced — with \u003cem>processed\u003c/em> red meats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Processed meats typically contain high amounts of sodium and preservatives,\" Hu says.

My questions eventually led me to \u003ca href=\"http://zwtranch.com/pcf_nsb.php\">Phelps County Feeders\u003c/a>, a cattle feedlot near Kearney, Neb.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was cold and wet on the day I visited. The weather had been bad for weeks. Joe Klute, the feedlot's co-owner, was unhappy because he knew his 15,000 cattle were miserable, too. And miserable cattle don't gain weight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I mean, you spend all this time and energy and effort and money to put weight on them that you hope to get paid [for], and now it's all going to be gone,\" he said. \"Because of the weather stress.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We head out to look at the raw ingredients of beef-making: giant bales of hay; piles of chopped up, fermented corn stalks and leaves called silage; steaming, flattened kernels of corn. \"They get corn flakes for breakfast, just like we do,\" he says with a grin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133233\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-133233\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/4_img_8421.cr2_enl-30f48eba3d80967d047f0d466d3cdee8b4265b67-e1554231360563.jpg\" alt=\"Steamed, flattened corn is fed to cattle to make them gain weight quickly.

This diet can also lead to liver abscesses \u003ccite>(Dan Charles/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And then there are the micro-ingredients, like vitamins. They get dissolved in water and mixed into the truckloads of corn and hay. \"On a 20,000-pound load, those micro-ingredients are going to be less than a pound,\" Klute says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of these micro-ingredients is an antibiotic called tylosin. It's in there because when cattle eat a high-calorie diet, with lots of grain — which they do in feedlots, to fatten them up quickly during the last four to six months of their life — many will develop abscesses on the liver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.vet.k-state.edu/education/dmp/faculty-staff/faculty/nagaraja/\">T. G. Nagaraja\u003c/a>, at Kansas State University, has spent most of his life studying this process. Fermenting grain produces acid in the bovine stomach that's called the rumen, Nagaraja explains. When there's lots of it, the acids can damage the rumen wall. This lets bacteria escape into the bloodstream and travel to the liver, where they get trapped, multiply, and cause abscesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liver abscesses don't usually kill cattle, but they slow the animals' growth and can make slaughtering operations more complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nagaraja says that when cattle are fed a standard feedlot diet, 20 percent or more of them typically develop liver abscesses. Tylosin cuts that percentage by more than half, to single digits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is, of course, great for the feedlot, but according to \u003ca href=\"https://publichealth.gwu.edu/departments/environmental-and-occupational-health/lance-price\">Lance Price\u003c/a>, director of the Antibiotic Resistance Action Center at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., it's not good at all for the rest of us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133234\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-133234\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/22222_img_8399.cr2_enl-2268ebb8cf3d42ae125ef5849b3eb01b16bbf169-e1554231396784.jpg\" alt=\"At Corrin Farms, near Neola, Iowa, the cattle aren't fed antibiotics to control liver abscesses.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1279\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">At Corrin Farms, near Neola, Iowa, the cattle aren't fed antibiotics to control liver abscesses. \u003ccite>(Dan Charles/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"It's basically a public health decision that they're making,\" he says, and it's a bad one, undermining the effectiveness of drugs that people depend on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tylosin, for instance, is almost the same as an antibiotic that doctors often prescribe, called erythromycin. So when you feed tylosin to cattle, Price says, \"it puts pressure on all the bacteria in and on that animal. Those bacteria respond to the antibiotic and eventually become resistant to it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those antibiotic-resistant bacteria can migrate away from the feedlot, perhaps carried by animal waste. If the bacteria then infect people, they can't be treated with erythromycin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Food and Drug Administration has banned some uses of antibiotics in animals for exactly this \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2013/07/11/200870193/are-antibiotics-on-the-farm-risky-business\">reason\u003c/a>. Farmers can \u003ca href=\"https://www.fda.gov/animalveterinary/safetyhealth/antimicrobialresistance/\">no longer\u003c/a> use antibiotics to make cattle grow faster. Overall, their use of these drugs is \u003ca href=\"https://www.fda.gov/downloads/ForIndustry/UserFees/AnimalDrugUserFeeActADUFA/UCM628538.pdf\">down\u003c/a>. But farmers still can give antibiotics to treat or prevent diseases like liver abscesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This gets Lance Price kind of angry. \"We are \u003cem>creating\u003c/em> this disease,\" he says. \"We are creating liver abscesses by the way we're raising [cattle].\" Raise them differently, he says, and cattle wouldn't need tylosin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, it's being done. It's even being done at Phelps County Feeders. About 40 percent of the cattle at Joe Klute's cold, wet feedlot are not getting any tylosin, or any growth-promoting hormones. This beef gets sold as an \"all-natural\" product under the company's own brand: \u003ca href=\"https://www.nebraskastarbeef.com/\">Nebraska Star Beef\u003c/a>. The feedlot gets more money for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We decided, hey, it's another avenue of survival. It's another niche. Let's find this niche; let's try to be different,\" Klute says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I also visited another, much smaller, feedlot in Iowa that's completely antibiotic-free. It grows cattle for the company \u003ca href=\"https://www.nimanranch.com/\">Niman Ranch\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In both places, they're doing it pretty much the same way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We change how the animals are fed, and we don't have to use tylosin,\" says John Tarpoff, vice president of beef for Niman Ranch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They feed these cattle more hay and silage — and less energy-rich corn. This diet is easier on the animals' stomachs. \"The idea is, you have to protect the whole digestive system,\" Tarpoff says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133235\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-133235\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/5_img_8466.cr2_enl-64ab32cc475119f4f011f83e8611f660ab135db3-e1554231426574.jpg\" alt=\"At Phelps County Feeders, trucks are loaded with hay, rolled corn kernels, corn silage, and dried distillers grains.

The proportion varies, depending on which cattle are getting that feed. \u003ccite>(Dan Charles/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But there's a trade-off. The animals grow more slowly when their diet is less energy-rich. To gain the same amount of weight, it can take these cattle about five months — as opposed to four months with conventional feeding. And some cattle — less than 10 percent of them — develop liver abscesses under this feeding regimen, too. That's about the same as in feedlots that use a high-energy diet combined with tylosin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another fly in the antibiotic-free ointment: Occasionally, cattle get sick with other diseases and need antibiotics. In that case, they're treated and their meat is no longer sold as \"natural.\" Tarpoff says this happens to fewer than 1 percent of Niman Ranch's cattle. At Phelps County Feeders, it's between 5 and 10 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In case you're wondering, these antibiotic-free cattle still are getting plenty of grain in their diet. That's necessary, Tarpoff says, to produce the tender steaks that many consumers prefer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of the longer time and extra feed required to raise cattle this way, it costs more. Tarpoff estimates that it's roughly 15 to 18 percent more. \"We get the complaint all the time, 'Gee, your product costs more than the other guy's,' \" he says. \"Well, yeah, it does.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some big customers are \u003ca href=\"https://uspirg.org/sites/pirg/files/ChainReaction4_Report-10_17_18.pdf\">willing to pay\u003c/a> for antibiotic-free production. They include Whole Foods and the fast-food chain Shake Shack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last December, in perhaps the biggest shift in the industry away from antibiotics, McDonald's \u003ca href=\"https://news.mcdonalds.com/stories/using-our-scale-for-good/antibiotic-policy-beef-2018\">announced\u003c/a> that it's taking steps to cut antibiotic use by its beef suppliers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked Tarpoff for his reaction. He sounded cautious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not so easily done,\" he said. This industry, at least the mass-market part of it, has always been driven to cut costs. Cutting out the antibiotics will raise costs. \"It'll be interesting to see what happens,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Copyright 2019 NPR.

The weather had been bad for weeks. Joe Klute, the feedlot's co-owner, was unhappy because he knew his 15,000 cattle were miserable, too. And miserable cattle don't gain weight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I mean, you spend all this time and energy and effort and money to put weight on them that you hope to get paid [for], and now it's all going to be gone,\" he said. \"Because of the weather stress.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We head out to look at the raw ingredients of beef-making: giant bales of hay; piles of chopped up, fermented corn stalks and leaves called silage; steaming, flattened kernels of corn. \"They get corn flakes for breakfast, just like we do,\" he says with a grin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133233\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-133233\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/4_img_8421.cr2_enl-30f48eba3d80967d047f0d466d3cdee8b4265b67-e1554231360563.jpg\" alt=\"Steamed, flattened corn is fed to cattle to make them gain weight quickly.

They get dissolved in water and mixed into the truckloads of corn and hay. \"On a 20,000-pound load, those micro-ingredients are going to be less than a pound,\" Klute says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of these micro-ingredients is an antibiotic called tylosin. It's in there because when cattle eat a high-calorie diet, with lots of grain — which they do in feedlots, to fatten them up quickly during the last four to six months of their life — many will develop abscesses on the liver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.vet.k-state.edu/education/dmp/faculty-staff/faculty/nagaraja/\">T. G. Nagaraja\u003c/a>, at Kansas State University, has spent most of his life studying this process. Fermenting grain produces acid in the bovine stomach that's called the rumen, Nagaraja explains. When there's lots of it, the acids can damage the rumen wall. This lets bacteria escape into the bloodstream and travel to the liver, where they get trapped, multiply, and cause abscesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liver abscesses don't usually kill cattle, but they slow the animals' growth and can make slaughtering operations more complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nagaraja says that when cattle are fed a standard feedlot diet, 20 percent or more of them typically develop liver abscesses. Tylosin cuts that percentage by more than half, to single digits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is, of course, great for the feedlot, but according to \u003ca href=\"https://publichealth.gwu.edu/departments/environmental-and-occupational-health/lance-price\">Lance Price\u003c/a>, director of the Antibiotic Resistance Action Center at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., it's not good at all for the rest of us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133234\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-133234\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/22222_img_8399.cr2_enl-2268ebb8cf3d42ae125ef5849b3eb01b16bbf169-e1554231396784.jpg\" alt=\"At Corrin Farms, near Neola, Iowa, the cattle aren't fed antibiotics to control liver abscesses.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1279\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">At Corrin Farms, near Neola, Iowa, the cattle aren't fed antibiotics to control liver abscesses. \u003ccite>(Dan Charles/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"It's basically a public health decision that they're making,\" he says, and it's a bad one, undermining the effectiveness of drugs that people depend on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tylosin, for instance, is almost the same as an antibiotic that doctors often prescribe, called erythromycin. So when you feed tylosin to cattle, Price says, \"it puts pressure on all the bacteria in and on that animal. Those bacteria respond to the antibiotic and eventually become resistant to it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those antibiotic-resistant bacteria can migrate away from the feedlot, perhaps carried by animal waste. If the bacteria then infect people, they can't be treated with erythromycin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Food and Drug Administration has banned some uses of antibiotics in animals for exactly this \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2013/07/11/200870193/are-antibiotics-on-the-farm-risky-business\">reason\u003c/a>. Farmers can \u003ca href=\"https://www.fda.gov/animalveterinary/safetyhealth/antimicrobialresistance/\">no longer\u003c/a> use antibiotics to make cattle grow faster. Overall, their use of these drugs is \u003ca href=\"https://www.fda.gov/downloads/ForIndustry/UserFees/AnimalDrugUserFeeActADUFA/UCM628538.pdf\">down\u003c/a>. But farmers still can give antibiotics to treat or prevent diseases like liver abscesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This gets Lance Price kind of angry. \"We are \u003cem>creating\u003c/em> this disease,\" he says. \"We are creating liver abscesses by the way we're raising [cattle].\" Raise them differently, he says, and cattle wouldn't need tylosin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, it's being done. It's even being done at Phelps County Feeders. About 40 percent of the cattle at Joe Klute's cold, wet feedlot are not getting any tylosin, or any growth-promoting hormones. This beef gets sold as an \"all-natural\" product under the company's own brand: \u003ca href=\"https://www.nebraskastarbeef.com/\">Nebraska Star Beef\u003c/a>. The feedlot gets more money for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We decided, hey, it's another avenue of survival. It's another niche. Let's find this niche; let's try to be different,\" Klute says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I also visited another, much smaller, feedlot in Iowa that's completely antibiotic-free. It grows cattle for the company \u003ca href=\"https://www.nimanranch.com/\">Niman Ranch\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In both places, they're doing it pretty much the same way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We change how the animals are fed, and we don't have to use tylosin,\" says John Tarpoff, vice president of beef for Niman Ranch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They feed these cattle more hay and silage — and less energy-rich corn. This diet is easier on the animals' stomachs. \"The idea is, you have to protect the whole digestive system,\" Tarpoff says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133235\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-133235\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/5_img_8466.cr2_enl-64ab32cc475119f4f011f83e8611f660ab135db3-e1554231426574.jpg\" alt=\"At Phelps County Feeders, trucks are loaded with hay, rolled corn kernels, corn silage, and dried distillers grains.

The proportion varies, depending on which cattle are getting that feed. \u003ccite>(Dan Charles/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But there's a trade-off. The animals grow more slowly when their diet is less energy-rich. To gain the same amount of weight, it can take these cattle about five months — as opposed to four months with conventional feeding. And some cattle — less than 10 percent of them — develop liver abscesses under this feeding regimen, too. That's about the same as in feedlots that use a high-energy diet combined with tylosin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another fly in the antibiotic-free ointment: Occasionally, cattle get sick with other diseases and need antibiotics. In that case, they're treated and their meat is no longer sold as \"natural.\" Tarpoff says this happens to fewer than 1 percent of Niman Ranch's cattle. At Phelps County Feeders, it's between 5 and 10 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In case you're wondering, these antibiotic-free cattle still are getting plenty of grain in their diet. That's necessary, Tarpoff says, to produce the tender steaks that many consumers prefer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of the longer time and extra feed required to raise cattle this way, it costs more. Tarpoff estimates that it's roughly 15 to 18 percent more. \"We get the complaint all the time, 'Gee, your product costs more than the other guy's,' \" he says. \"Well, yeah, it does.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some big customers are \u003ca href=\"https://uspirg.org/sites/pirg/files/ChainReaction4_Report-10_17_18.pdf\">willing to pay\u003c/a> for antibiotic-free production. They include Whole Foods and the fast-food chain Shake Shack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last December, in perhaps the biggest shift in the industry away from antibiotics, McDonald's \u003ca href=\"https://news.mcdonalds.com/stories/using-our-scale-for-good/antibiotic-policy-beef-2018\">announced\u003c/a> that it's taking steps to cut antibiotic use by its beef suppliers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked Tarpoff for his reaction. He sounded cautious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not so easily done,\" he said. This industry, at least the mass-market part of it, has always been driven to cut costs. Cutting out the antibiotics will raise costs. \"It'll be interesting to see what happens,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Copyright 2019 NPR.

The interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A lot of the buzz around the microbiome has been about the microbes themselves, and what they do for us. You focus much of your book on what they eat, the \" prebiotics\" we feed them. Why?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It may be less interesting to talk about fiber than about all these new species we're learning about and infusing into foods, but what we feed our microbes is just as important as what microbes are there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think that, from our human perspective, it's helpful to think about microbes in two broad categories. There are microbes that we have in our guts throughout our lives that are adapted for living there, and then there are the microbes we get from food or supplements. Those latter ones just kind of pass through. They can survive the journey, and can certainly provide benefits along the way, but they aren't long-term residents of the gut, and they're not going to have the long-term health impacts that more-permanent residents might have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're starting to learn more about how we can create the conditions for those resident microbes to thrive and potentially benefit us, and a large part of that is what we feed them. And much of what we feed them is fiber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens if we don't feed our microbes?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So then they start to eat us — our lower intestine, which is only a single human cell thick, which helps us absorb as much as we can from our digested food before we expel it. But it also makes it easy for things to escape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When our microbes don't get enough fiber, they can start eating away the mucus lining protecting this thin layer, and sometimes the lining can break, which can lead, literally, to leaky gut syndrome, which is associated with many poor health outcomes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When I think of fiber, I think processed, cardboard-like breakfast cereal. Is fiber more diverse than that? How important is having a diverse diet of fiber to cultivating a healthy microbiome?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prebiotic fiber is just any kind of carbohydrate that we can't digest ourselves that instead passes through out digestive system as food for microbes. There are many different types of fiber that get broken down by different microbes at different stages of digestion. That's why it's a good idea to eat a wide variety of foods, and not just focus on a particular supplement here and there. Lots of different kinds of fibers help lots of different microbes thrive and create different beneficial compounds for us. Which is good because we're learning that generally, a more diverse microbiome is an indicator of health. If you look at people's guts around the world — and even in the same society — people with more diverse microbiomes tend to be healthier overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some examples of different types of fiber and the foods that carry them?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One kind of fiber that's gotten a lot of focus is inulin. We've actually been adding it to foods for longer than we've been looking closely at it, but it's commonly found in foods like chicory root or sunchokes. It's a very long carbohydrate chain, which means it takes a bit longer to pass through our system and get broken down by microbes. Research shows that it encourages growth of \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4908950/\">bifidobacteria\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4045285/\">lactobacteria \u003c/a>[two strains of bacteria commonly associated with health benefits].\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another big one comes from fruits and veggies, called Fructo-oligosaccharides. It's shorter than inulin and adding it to your diet has been shown to reduce markers of inflammation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Galacto-oligosaccharides are another form of fiber found in milk, and are broken down in the colon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was really surprised to learn about resistant starch as another form of fiber. It comes from more simple carbohydrates that have been cooked and then cooled; think of cold potato or pasta salad. So once those starches are crystallized, they become the type of resistant starch that our bodies can't break down anymore [but our microbes can]. Even cold pasta, which you don't necessarily think of as being healthy, can be a great source of resistant starch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do other aspects of our diet besides fiber affect the microbiome?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost everything we eat has some kind of impact on our microbes. One example I talk about in the book is meat. Really kind of fatty meats like pork can have a negative health impact on us via our microbes, because they produce a metabolite called \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5127123/\">TMAO, \u003c/a>which has been linked to negative health outcomes. But fish oil has been shown to be beneficial — the microbes of mice fed fish oil instead of pork lard produced much fewer TMAOs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another exciting area of research is looking at how gene expression in the same microbial strains can change, based on what they're being fed. Different metabolites get produced not by different microbes, but by the same microbes being fed differently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You looked at a lot of research comparing Western diets to more traditional, hunter-gatherer diets. How did their diets and microbiomes differ?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers look to hunter-gatherer societies to try to understand what our ancestral diets looked like, before the advent of agriculture. This can give us clues potentially to the kinds of diets humans are adapted for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These studies find that we eat a lot less fiber than we probably used to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FDA recommends something like 30 grams of fiber a day, but most Americans don't even get that. Traditional hunter-gatherer cultures, like the Hadza group in Africa, eat 100-plus grams of fiber a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So people eating modern, Western diets are getting maybe 15 to 30 grams of fiber a day, when our bodies may be adapted to expect over 100. This lack of fiber seems to be making a big impact on the diversity of our microbiome. These traditional, high-fiber dieters have a much more diverse microbiome than [people eating] more modern diets, [and the former] is often linked to better health outcomes. It's hard to draw hard conclusions about cause and effect here, because there are so many other lifestyle factors at play, but it certainly seems that our low-fiber diet is not great for our health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In reporting your book, you go on a culinary quest exploring all these different fermented and microbial foods. What was the most surprising food you encountered?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By far it was Kiviak, which is a traditional Inuit food from Greenland. Kiviak is birds, specifically Auks, fermented inside a seal skin. So when Auks are in season they capture the birds and stuff [up to 500] in the seal skin, sew it up and leave it underground to ferment for a year, and then dig it up and eat it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's important to remember that fermentation didn't necessarily come about because people were thinking about the health benefits. It was a way to preserve foods and make it through a harsh Greenland winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A lot of these foods are not seen as individual things to be eaten for a specific benefit, but rich, integral parts of food culture. How does culture shape how we feed our microbiome?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's really not a culture out there that doesn't incorporate some kind of fermented food, and many have a rich diversity of different kinds of fermented foods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We think about things like kimchi as being the Korean fermented food, and it is actually their national food, but they have so many other kinds of fermented foods that they infuse throughout the whole cuisine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These foods aren't really viewed as this separate thing. You're not eating kimchi as a little healthful snack for your microbes and then going back to your normal diet. These fermented foods are incorporated into the food culture — they're condiments, sides, flavorings. A meal seems incomplete or unbalanced without them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And that kind of consistency is a healthier, more sustainable way to feed our microbiome?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes. Generally, the kind of wild fermented foods — like kimchi, sauerkraut, or pickles — tend to have a higher diversity of microbes than your store-bought, probiotic-infused yogurts. Whether each individual strain in these foods is good for us is still unknown, but again, higher diversity tends to be associated with better health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What advice do you have for those wanting to boost the health of their microbiome?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's really about creating the right environment for our native microbes, and the best way to do that is by eating a lot of diverse types of fiber for them. I don't think probiotics or seeking out specific fermented foods is bad, of course, but focusing on fiber is a good first step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Copyright 2019 NPR.

Why?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It may be less interesting to talk about fiber than about all these new species we're learning about and infusing into foods, but what we feed our microbes is just as important as what microbes are there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think that, from our human perspective, it's helpful to think about microbes in two broad categories. There are microbes that we have in our guts throughout our lives that are adapted for living there, and then there are the microbes we get from food or supplements. Those latter ones just kind of pass through. They can survive the journey, and can certainly provide benefits along the way, but they aren't long-term residents of the gut, and they're not going to have the long-term health impacts that more-permanent residents might have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're starting to learn more about how we can create the conditions for those resident microbes to thrive and potentially benefit us, and a large part of that is what we feed them. And much of what we feed them is fiber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens if we don't feed our microbes?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So then they start to eat us — our lower intestine, which is only a single human cell thick, which helps us absorb as much as we can from our digested food before we expel it. But it also makes it easy for things to escape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When our microbes don't get enough fiber, they can start eating away the mucus lining protecting this thin layer, and sometimes the lining can break, which can lead, literally, to leaky gut syndrome, which is associated with many poor health outcomes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When I think of fiber, I think processed, cardboard-like breakfast cereal. Is fiber more diverse than that? How important is having a diverse diet of fiber to cultivating a healthy microbiome?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prebiotic fiber is just any kind of carbohydrate that we can't digest ourselves that instead passes through out digestive system as food for microbes. There are many different types of fiber that get broken down by different microbes at different stages of digestion. That's why it's a good idea to eat a wide variety of foods, and not just focus on a particular supplement here and there. Lots of different kinds of fibers help lots of different microbes thrive and create different beneficial compounds for us. Which is good because we're learning that generally, a more diverse microbiome is an indicator of health. If you look at people's guts around the world — and even in the same society — people with more diverse microbiomes tend to be healthier overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some examples of different types of fiber and the foods that carry them?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One kind of fiber that's gotten a lot of focus is inulin. We've actually been adding it to foods for longer than we've been looking closely at it, but it's commonly found in foods like chicory root or sunchokes. It's a very long carbohydrate chain, which means it takes a bit longer to pass through our system and get broken down by microbes. Research shows that it encourages growth of \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4908950/\">bifidobacteria\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4045285/\">lactobacteria \u003c/a>[two strains of bacteria commonly associated with health benefits].\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another big one comes from fruits and veggies, called Fructo-oligosaccharides. It's shorter than inulin and adding it to your diet has been shown to reduce markers of inflammation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Galacto-oligosaccharides are another form of fiber found in milk, and are broken down in the colon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was really surprised to learn about resistant starch as another form of fiber. It comes from more simple carbohydrates that have been cooked and then cooled; think of cold potato or pasta salad. So once those starches are crystallized, they become the type of resistant starch that our bodies can't break down anymore [but our microbes can]. Even cold pasta, which you don't necessarily think of as being healthy, can be a great source of resistant starch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do other aspects of our diet besides fiber affect the microbiome?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost everything we eat has some kind of impact on our microbes. One example I talk about in the book is meat. Really kind of fatty meats like pork can have a negative health impact on us via our microbes, because they produce a metabolite called \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5127123/\">TMAO, \u003c/a>which has been linked to negative health outcomes. But fish oil has been shown to be beneficial — the microbes of mice fed fish oil instead of pork lard produced much fewer TMAOs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another exciting area of research is looking at how gene expression in the same microbial strains can change, based on what they're being fed. Different metabolites get produced not by different microbes, but by the same microbes being fed differently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You looked at a lot of research comparing Western diets to more traditional, hunter-gatherer diets. How did their diets and microbiomes differ?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers look to hunter-gatherer societies to try to understand what our ancestral diets looked like, before the advent of agriculture. This can give us clues potentially to the kinds of diets humans are adapted for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These studies find that we eat a lot less fiber than we probably used to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FDA recommends something like 30 grams of fiber a day, but most Americans don't even get that. Traditional hunter-gatherer cultures, like the Hadza group in Africa, eat 100-plus grams of fiber a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So people eating modern, Western diets are getting maybe 15 to 30 grams of fiber a day, when our bodies may be adapted to expect over 100. This lack of fiber seems to be making a big impact on the diversity of our microbiome. These traditional, high-fiber dieters have a much more diverse microbiome than [people eating] more modern diets, [and the former] is often linked to better health outcomes. It's hard to draw hard conclusions about cause and effect here, because there are so many other lifestyle factors at play, but it certainly seems that our low-fiber diet is not great for our health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In reporting your book, you go on a culinary quest exploring all these different fermented and microbial foods. What was the most surprising food you encountered?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By far it was Kiviak, which is a traditional Inuit food from Greenland. Kiviak is birds, specifically Auks, fermented inside a seal skin. So when Auks are in season they capture the birds and stuff [up to 500] in the seal skin, sew it up and leave it underground to ferment for a year, and then dig it up and eat it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's important to remember that fermentation didn't necessarily come about because people were thinking about the health benefits. It was a way to preserve foods and make it through a harsh Greenland winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A lot of these foods are not seen as individual things to be eaten for a specific benefit, but rich, integral parts of food culture. How does culture shape how we feed our microbiome?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's really not a culture out there that doesn't incorporate some kind of fermented food, and many have a rich diversity of different kinds of fermented foods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We think about things like kimchi as being the Korean fermented food, and it is actually their national food, but they have so many other kinds of fermented foods that they infuse throughout the whole cuisine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These foods aren't really viewed as this separate thing. You're not eating kimchi as a little healthful snack for your microbes and then going back to your normal diet. These fermented foods are incorporated into the food culture — they're condiments, sides, flavorings. A meal seems incomplete or unbalanced without them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And that kind of consistency is a healthier, more sustainable way to feed our microbiome?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes. Generally, the kind of wild fermented foods — like kimchi, sauerkraut, or pickles — tend to have a higher diversity of microbes than your store-bought, probiotic-infused yogurts. Whether each individual strain in these foods is good for us is still unknown, but again, higher diversity tends to be associated with better health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What advice do you have for those wanting to boost the health of their microbiome?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's really about creating the right environment for our native microbes, and the best way to do that is by eating a lot of diverse types of fiber for them. I don't think probiotics or seeking out specific fermented foods is bad, of course, but focusing on fiber is a good first step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Copyright 2019 NPR.
