Evie Fatz is the founder of Cōpow Foods — a word she made up, colorful and powerful, which is about as honest a description of Evie herself as I could offer. She spent fifteen years coaching people on how to eat and ran into the thing that breaks a lot of us: she could hand someone the truth and they still couldn't reach the food. 

So she stopped teaching about real food and started growing the conditions for it — sourced regeneratively, cooked without the junk, and then, for every meal she sells, she gives one away. Twenty-seven thousand and counting. With her husband Dr. Casey Fatz, a vascular interventional radiologist who came out of twenty years in medicine calling it what it is — sick care, not health care — they've got one foot in the operating room and one in the kitchen, betting everything on the kitchen. We talk about the soil and the soul of it: how the vision arrived, what it cost, and how she figured out you can't tend the terrain for some of us. It has to be all of us.
