Questions about the food you eat and the N.C. farmers that feed you? Feed The Dialogue NC! At Feed the Dialogue NC our goal is to have a conversation. Let's talk.

We want to talk about the food we eat and the farmers who produce it. Do you have questions about your food or farming practices? You've come to the right place!

We've all done it--dropped a some food, declared "5-second rule!" and popped it in our mouth. But, is it true?
Scientists have done the research, and it doesn't matter how fast you are, bacteria can still adhere to food as soon as it touches the ground. It doesn't matter how clean the floor looks. Faster is better, but it's not perfect.

Happy first day of winter. We never know in NC if it will feel like winter or not. Regardless of the weather, farmers implement practices to keep their animals healthy and at an appropriate temperature. Here's some ways they do this in the cold:

❄️Heat lamps and heat pads are utilized for some animals in barns, especially babies.
❄️Laying straw down for warmth.
❄️Proper nutrition. Snow on a cow's back is a sign that they are retaining heat and are warm.
❄️Climate controlled barns are often used to keep animals comfortable.

Have you ever heard that you should eat the potato skin for added nutrients? It's not completely wrong. The main nutrient you lose by not consuming potato skin is fiber.

Anyone have a really epic ugly Christmas sweater? We want to see it! 🎄

🐔Did you know that NC ranks 2nd in broiler chicken production? Broiler chickens are those raised for meat rather than eggs.

You are what you eat...

The main ingredients are grains like corn and soybeans, vitamins, and minerals. Livestock feed is specifically designed by nutritionists (did you know there are livestock species specific nutritionists?). Livestock feed is not just species specific, but is also stage of life specific.
What questions about livestock feed do you have?

Christmas food fact: In the 1600s the term “plum” meant any type of dried fruit. Standard sugar plums are a combination of dried fruit and spices coated with sugar.

A bloody steak doesn't exist. The red juices you see from a rarer steak are water and a protein called myoglobin, which distributes oxygen to the muscles.
The water (and myoglobin) from a well-done steak have evaporated, leaving a dryer piece of meat.
This goes for any cut of beef.

Cookies, candies, nuts? Tell us, what's your favorite holiday treat. 🥧🧁🍫🍪🍬
Holiday food fact: fruit cake was designed to last all year. It was baked at the end of harvest and eaten at the beginning of next harvest season.

Did you know you can determine where your milk (or other dairy product) is from by the code on the carton?
Look for the code:🔎
⬆️ near the top
✌️Begins with 2 numbers
👀 ends with 1-5 digits (numbers or letters & may include a dash)
🚫 codes don't have colons

Learn more about these codes at https://www.whereismymilkfrom.com/finding-my-code/

The holidays often bring a lot of leftovers. They are safe to eat for 3-4 days...unless you've reheated them. If you have reheated them to a proper temperature, they are safe for another 3-4 days. Reheating starts the clock back over. 🤯
