My goodness, I just looked at the list, I can’t believe we’re at episode number 62. Wow, time flies; and I still have things to say. {laughs} That’s the really crazy part. So today on the show I know we just finished up a short little interview series, where I invited some of my dear friends in the industry to join me on the show to share some of their thoughts and professional expertise. And now today, it’s just me. You get some quality time with yours truly.<br> <br> And something that I wanted to talk about, I really wanted to zero in on an issue that I’ve never really talked about before on the blog, and here on the podcast, and it’s the issue of grass-fed beef, and why grass-fed is better. Because I think that if we really start to think about the reasons why; I mean, I think folks know that grass-fed beef is a good option, but I don’t think we always understand why. There’s all kinds of different labels at the butcher counter, and it can be very confusing, so today we’re going to explore some of those options.<br> <br> But in the meantime, I wanted to give you a quick update, because I know a lot of you listeners have been with me for a long time and you are all up to speed on the crazy projects that I’m working on right now, so I wanted to give you a quick update on where I’m at. So let’s see, today is Monday May 2nd. My goodness, I can’t believe we’re already in May. And my book, my first printed real deal, going to hold it in your hands book, hits the shelves July 12th. And I just can’t wait.<br> <br> It turns out, I had a whole lot to say, because we’re at the maximum page count. My very patient publisher, they’ve just been amazing to work with. But {laughs} one of our conversations pretty recently, he said; “you know, I called the printer, and apparently the book cannot exceed;” I think the number was 488 pages before the spine on the book with give out. {laughs} and I was like, oh my goodness. You know, I would rather the spine hold together then have maybe those extra graphs and things that I had put together for the book. So I have a feeling there’s going to be a good deal of material that doesn’t make it in print that I will instead give you guys online as online resources.<br> <br> And really what this has come down to is; I’m not saying this will be the only book that I will ever write, but the way that I approached it is I want to be able to use it as a resource for years and years and years. I don’t want you guys; I want this to be something that not only our community leans on, but something that you can look at. If you’re in the Fed and Fit family with me, you probably identify with a lot of the things that I say, we all stand around and pat each other on the back and we kind of agree with each other. And when you want to go out in the world and help share some of your perspectives, I wanted to give you a tool to do that.
