This Earth Day, Watch Kiss the Ground and Remember: Every Meal is a Vote
Earth Day is Tuesday, April 22nd—and this year, one of the most powerful documentaries about healing the planet, Kiss the Ground, will be available to stream for free on Prime.
If you haven’t seen it yet, this film will move you. It’s a hopeful, science-backed exploration of how soil regeneration can reverse climate change, restore ecosystems, and heal our bodies. It puts farmers at the center of the solution—and affirms that the small choices we make every day do matter.
One of the driving forces behind starting Spade & Spoon was this very idea: that we are what we eat, but also that what we eat shapes the world we live in.
I believe that the food system is one of the most powerful levers we have to create change. It impacts everything from our individual health to the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the soil that supports all life.
Most people don’t have time to become regenerative farmers or overhaul their lives. That’s why my mission has always been to make it easy for families to eat in a way that’s good for both their bodies and the planet—without compromise, overwhelm, or greenwashing.
Kiss the Ground connects directly to this mission. It reminds us that every forkful matters. Every time we choose local over industrial, nutrient-dense over ultra-processed, we are casting a vote for the world we want to live in. And that is something to feel proud of.
3 Reasons to Watch Kiss the Ground This Week:
-
It reframes the climate conversation.
Instead of doom and gloom, it focuses on solutions—specifically regenerative agriculture, which builds healthy soil and captures carbon. -
It makes the invisible visible.
Soil health isn’t just about farms—it’s about food quality, gut health, water retention, and climate resilience. -
It reminds us we’re powerful.
The way we shop, cook, and eat has a ripple effect. You don’t need to do everything—just something.
A Few Shocking Stats:
-
We’ve lost over half of the topsoil on the planet in the past 150 years. (UN FAO)
-
If we don’t change course, we have less than 60 years of farmable soil left. (UN Food & Agriculture)
-
Regenerative practices can store 1-2 tons of carbon per acre annually, helping reverse climate change while improving food quality. (Project Drawdown)
-
Industrial agriculture is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than all cars, planes, and trains combined. (IPCC)
What You Can Do Today:
-
Watch the documentary on Prime for free starting April 22nd.
-
Support local regenerative farms—either directly or through services like Spade & Spoon.
-
Choose food that loves you back—organic, seasonal, clean, and grown with care.
This Earth Day, let’s celebrate the power of the soil, the resilience of nature, and the simple act of choosing well. Because healing the planet and healing our bodies are not two separate fights—they are the same.
I'll never stop trying to make it easy for y'all to eat good food that is also good for our planet - no compromises.
