Ep 235 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into viral food myths, western nostalgia, and the surprising ways agriculture moves around the globe. From debunking dairy misconceptions about why American milk "expires so fast" to dismantling an Italian chef's garlic myth, the hosts tackle the misinformation swirling through social media kitchens. They explore the unexpected Gen Z revival of the 1985 western epic Lonesome Dove, dive into Coca-Cola's AI-powered mission to save the orange juice industry from citrus greening disease, and unpack the reality behind viral footage of 75,000 sheep boarding a massive cargo ship. It's a journey through pasteurization science, sulfur-induced bad breath, cowboy culture, and the complex world of live animal export—all with the usual mix of education, entertainment, and a few passion fruit margaritas along the way.
