Yeah, I do too, man. I chew tobacco. Pretty much since I was about 13 years old. But, you know, as you get older, you start to try to optimize everything because the world tells you everything's going to kill you. Is chewing tobacco going to kill you? Well, you know. I've heard people get mouth cancer. Yeah, that's the main thing is mouth cancer. Mouth cancer is pretty nasty. All forms of cancer are pretty nasty, but mouth cancer can really screw you up. And I think it's the chemicals that they spray on the tobacco when they're growing the tobacco. So I don't know, maybe if you grew tobacco organically and then you chewed it. It wouldn't give you mouth cancer?
Probably makes sense. I don't know. Well, I was just reading something that 100% of California wines that they tested had glyphosate on them. 100%. Yeah, believe it. Which is just nuts.
You know... Yeah, that stuff is everywhere. I mean, it's not it's never going to go anywhere because, you know, when I was in the Navy, I lived in Virginia and we moved out to a rural community and they grew corn and soybeans primarily in the fields and nothing else would grow in that dirt. Like you could walk the rows of those crops, you know, and there would not be a single weed growing in the field. Nothing would grow except for the genetically modified seed or whatever they put out there. You know what I mean? And how long does that stay in the soil? Like does that ever come – can you ever get that out of the dirt so that other things – could or would actually thrive there again? I guess after many, many years, you could.
Yeah, it's many, many years. I had Will Harris from, he's from Georgia, White Oaks Pastures. You ever heard of that guy?
I actually listened to that episode that you did with him, man, because I've ordered a pile of meat from them. He's great. He is. That was a great episode.
And it's a great episode to... educate people on how much time it takes to take an industrial farm and convert it to regenerative agriculture. It's not easy. It's a long grind, super costly, not nearly as profitable. And he did it over a course of 20 years. And we have two jars of soil out there that he gave us. And one of them is a soil from his neighbor's farm, which is an industrial farm. And the other one is his. And his is like a dark, brown, rich, alive soil. And the one from his neighbor's farm is just pale and dead. And they have to spray shit all over it and use industrial fertilizer.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's ugly, man. And then it's gotten so far that like to turn it around and try to feed all the people that we have established here in this country in places where nobody's growing food. It's like it's almost impossible. It's almost like they're stuck with this system of industrialized farming.
Yeah, I mean, being here in Austin, I don't go to the city much. I live on 700 acres in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Nice. I come here to the city, and you see the result of packing so many human beings into one area. Yeah, how are you going to feed them people? Right. Other than the way that we figured out how to do it. I mean, how are you going to feed them?
Right.
I don't know, man. Walking around the city, man, it's just coming from where I live. And don't take this as negative. I mean, people love cities. There's cool stuff in cities, right? Like people get a lot. But me, when I come from where I live, you know, dude, I'm in the woods every day for hours and hours. I don't go to town hardly ever. I'm a squirrel hunter. i have a little mountain cur you know we go out and squirrel hunt for hours every day and but coming to the city it's like the air burns my nose it's like i've been coughing all day today you really notice it i noticed i can smell it it smells now we're staying right in downtown the smell reminds me slightly of lagos nigeria which it's 100X in Legos.
It literally burns your eyes and your nose to breathe the air there.
