The family butcher who could process it locally? Illegal in most of the country. The farmer's market vendor who wants to sell you a steak? Buried in federal red tape designed by and for industrial meatpackers. Four companies control 85% of the beef you eat. They wrote the rules. They fund the regulators. And for decades, they've used a quiet piece of legislation to crush any competition before it can breathe. The PRIME Act wants to change that. In this episode, we break down the law that Big Meat doesn't want passed, why your local farmer is technically a criminal, and what food freedom in America could actually look like — if Washington would get out of the way. Because somewhere between the feed lot and your grocery store, something went very wrong. And the people paying the price aren't the corporations. They're the ones who still remember what real beef tastes like.
