Yeah. He was working for as a lobbyist for companies like Coca-Cola.
So it's fascinating because he has a really, he had a look under the hood that many people are not actually revealing to the general public, which was fascinating. I had him on my podcast a couple of years ago and same thing. I was blown away because a lot of what he is saying, he's just validating what a lot of us have been trying to say for years.
And he came out and he said, yeah, this is all true. I was literally in the boardrooms.
A part of these conversations.
Exactly.
Exactly. Again, at the time, I think it was great. It was this modern technology. Oh my gosh, what do you mean? We don't have to can everything now. We can just add these additives and preservatives in there that will prolong the shelf life. This is what many people need to understand is that the majority of the food on our shelves was not created with health in mind. It was created...
with profits in mind because they want it to be shelf stable so that it can stay on the shelf for long periods of time. I was doing this little personal experiment at my house, still kind of ongoing, and I've released two videos about this already, but I bought just a bunch of conventional bread, loaves of bread from the grocery store in December. I got Sara Lee and some other like-
It's almost April. Those bags have been open. They've just been open, sitting on my counter since December, and there is not a drop of mold on any single one of them.
Nothing. They smell quote-unquote fresh. Wow. Like it's still squishy. It's not dry.
Yes.
Yep.
So glyphosate, well, first of all, the reason I'm most concerned about it is because it's become so ubiquitous. So we're spraying it on all of our fields. The back story of glyphosate is they were using a lot of these chemicals in World War II. Nazis were using them as nerve agents in gas chambers. They weren't using glyphosate specifically, but they were using known insecticides and pesticides.
And they have similar chemical components to glyphosate. And then same with the Vietnam War. Agent Orange was created by Monsanto. So now, fast forward, these agrochemical companies need somewhere to use their chemicals and their fertilizers. And so they pivoted to spraying them on farmlands. And what happened initially is they said, oh, they're totally fine.
These are not harmful at all to health. So the farmers are spraying down their crops with everything, and the glyphosate was killing everything, including the plants that they were trying to grow. So what happened was they genetically modified seeds.
They genetically modified plants to grow to where they could just spray the fields with glyphosate, and everything would get covered in glyphosate, and the plant itself wouldn't die, but it would kill everything else off. Well, here's the issue with that. And this is where I get super passionate about something called regenerative farming because the soil, we talk a lot about soil health.
So glyphosate also acts like an antibiotic, which means that it's not only killing off bad bacteria, but it's also killing off of the good bacteria. And we talked about how a lot of people are consuming glyphosate and they're getting it in their bodies. And then everyone's having all these IBS and Crohn's and gut issues and leaky gut syndrome.
Exactly. Well, it's no wonder because all of us are consuming an antibiotic almost on a daily basis and we don't even know. And on top of that, it's not labeled. It doesn't need to be on the label. So people can be consuming it and they have no clue.
Now, where my passion really comes in in all this is that when we're spraying our soil with glyphosate, because it's an antibiotic, we're killing off the entire ecosystem of soil that makes the plants healthy in the first place. I don't know if you've heard this before, but I've heard this quoted often. We are only as healthy as our soil is.
Because our plants are growing in our soil. And if our soil does not have the ecosystem, the bacteria, the bugs, there's this whole ecosystem that half of what we probably still don't even understand what's going on there. We're killing all of that. The soil is barely hanging on.
And then we think that the plants that are going to grow out are going to come out with enough vitamins, minerals and nutrients for us. Absolutely not.
