		Panelist: Matthew Sharp Registered nurse and grass-fed beef producer at Highland Hearth Farm near Reedsburg, WI.  Matt raises his Angus herd using rotational grazing and without use of  antibiotics, hormones or pesticides.  His devotion to these practices comes from his personal experience and belief that most food raised in the U.S. is nutritionally bankrupt --designed to feed a society that worships convenience.  And the price we're paying is our health.
