The gly in glyphosate is glycine.
And so it sticks to our glycine, which is what collagen is made out of.
So it's it's nasty stuff.
And I actually support the executive order because there is a force, probably China, but we don't really know, that's been going around the U.S.
for the past four years bombing our egg, dairy and meat production facilities.
And you wonder why eggs are so expensive.
It's because there's a group and you can see like where they're traveling from city to city and there's these random fires and explosions.
So they're trying to starve us.
And right now, there are examples in a small country, probably in Africa, somewhere where they outright banned glyphosate and other pesticides.
And they had a famine, right?
Because you can't transition from chemical agriculture with dead soil, which glyphosate creates, to all natural all the time.
And having built a regenerative farm and raised cows and sheeps and pigs and chickens and blueberries and all this stuff.
For more than 10 years, I can tell you, when there's proper regenerative ag, it is more productive than chemical ag, but the transition takes time.
So right now, the US cannot make glyphosate.
It's all made in China.
So if China cuts off glyphosate, we might have a famine here.
And I actually support that logic.
And I would say, let's take some of the money that maybe the previous administration was sending to Ukraine or into their own pockets, most likely,
Let's take that money and let's put it towards an aggressive regenerative ag program where we pay farmers to stop using glyphosate when they get their production as high.
As a small farmer, I know that 90% of us don't make enough money to run a small farm.
