Removing Destructive Vegetable Oils from Our Diets with Zero Acre Farms Founder Jeff Nobbs
In today's episode, Kelley and Chad talk to Jeff Nobbs, restraunteur and founder of Zero Acre Farms. In 2017, Jeff started a good for you restaurant called Kitava, which serves healthy options like cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, and kombucha. From there, he started Chipotle-backed Zero Acre Farms, which is a company that is designed to help eliminate seeds oils which currently make up 20% of the American calories. Zero Acre Oil uses a process of fermenting sugar cane to produce a cooking oil that is far healthier, more sustainable, and tastier than any other vegetable oil. It has a high level of heart-healthy mono unsaturated fats and a low level of inflammatory fats like omega-6 fats. On today's show, Chad and Kelley learn a lot about the detriment of inflammatory seed oils and why they need to be replaced for the sake of our health. Through this conversation you will hear insights on why seed oils are so harmful for our health and the types of diseases they can cause, how seed oils are problematic for the environment, the importance of cooking with high smoke point oils, and how eating these inflammatory seed oils can actually cause you to eat more food than you actually need.
