At one point, there's a guy named Earl Butts who said, ah, the military, the men are too weak to be in the military. We're not getting enough calories. This goes back like more than 50 years. Plant corn or soy fence row to fence row. Buy more land. Buy the huge combine machinery to plant this. Don't be so diverse.

And I know of one particular person at Stanford whose family had a farm, and the dad said, I don't even want you to take over the farm. I've ruined the land. The biodiverse thing was great, but this monocropping thing has ruined it. Please go get another job. And so what my sense was is small farms aren't enough to make a decent living, and farmers should make a decent living. Absolutely.

The farmers and ranchers and fishers should make a decent living. So, again, out of my wheelhouse, but you mentioned small farms. I think the problem is mega farms. I think there's something in the middle where you could make a respectable living, but it would have to be a more diverse agricultural system than just corn or just soy or just a concentrated animal feeding operation.

It had to be multiple crops, multiple livestock working together.

Absolutely. And it wouldn't just be mine. I'm having a blast at Stanford right now just because this new school of sustainability is interested in this, very much thinking of the farmers and the ranchers and the fishers. I mean, the school of sustainability sort of grew out of the earth science school.

And so a lot of those people have been working with land and water and air, and they're always looking for that win-win across all sectors. So that's one of them. Yeah.

Oh, okay. Do we have six more hours or just four?

Yeah. Okay. So a super important fact just to dive in right off the bat is how much protein do you store if you ate in excess today for tomorrow? Like if you were just hedging your bets, how much of that 175 grams of protein – Do you think you applied to muscle? Very little. You're not gaining muscle right now. I'm going to guess. You're stable weight, stable muscle? Pretty much.
