And let me just summarize my thoughts on glyphosate. People get big feelings on this topic. And the thing about glyphosate is this is a water-soluble herbicide. So that means it's intended to destroy all plants. And because it's water soluble, that means that when it gets into our soil, it doesn't wash out very easily. So it will stick around for a period of time.

In fact, I was telling you before we started, I just saw a commercial on TV that the Roundup people were bragging that you can go outside, spray your lawn once, and for four months, you won't have to worry about spraying it again. So basically what they've told you is that when you spray your yard with glyphosate, those chemicals are still hanging around four months later. All right.

As your children and as your dog is running around in that yard. My wife and I have the worst yard in the neighborhood. We're never going to win the yard of the month award in Charleston because we have opted to go clean. So but, you know, that's being sprayed on our food. And that includes oats. So when you mentioned oats earlier. Actually, I'm not a fan of oat milk.

A lot of contamination also. It's basically like you're creating a refined carbohydrate because when you take that oat and you roll it, you are processing it. And then when you chop it up in a blender, you're processing it even more. So you're breaking it down into constituent pieces. So yes, I'm not a huge oat milk fan, but oats.

And this also, by the way, includes the wheat, barley, and rye that contain gluten. You hear these stories, Drew, about people. I know people also have big feelings about gluten and that's its own conversation. But you hear these stories about people who are like, I can't eat bread in the United States. But if I go to Italy, I'm fine. Okay. That is not gluten.

There's definitely gluten still in that Italian bread. And I get the argument, oh, well, the concentration of gluten is higher in the United States. No, I don't think that's what it is. I think the argument there is pesticides. That fundamentally the wheat is not being treated the same way prior to making bread compared to the wheat in the United States that is being sprayed.

And by the way, it's not even genetically modified per se. In the U.S., it's that an herbicide kills plants. When you harvest wheat, you are able to accelerate your process and get that wheat into the supermarket much faster if you dry it out, which is what this does. I have serious concerns about glyphosate.

And really what it boils down to is that, you know, you could say, oh, well, humans are not hurt by glyphosate. The consumption of glyphosate, okay, but are your microbes hurt? Because it doesn't take much. And the data would strongly suggest that the microbiome is hurt by the presence of glyphosate. The microbes are in fact killed.
