Welcome back 00:00:39.049 --> 00:00:40.869 to Now We Consume. I am your host, Gibbs, and 00:00:40.869 --> 00:00:43.350 along with me is my co -host, Pip. I'm here. 00:00:43.450 --> 00:00:46.270 Hello. You're here. That's it. That's all I got 00:00:46.270 --> 00:00:49.149 out of you. I am here. I am one with the show. 00:00:52.450 --> 00:00:55.630 But all right. So on today's episode, we want 00:00:55.630 --> 00:01:00.359 to talk about. Basically, the absolutely, how 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.600 should I say, diabolical nature of the American 00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.480 health care and food system. Health care? Well, 00:01:07.579 --> 00:01:10.239 sorry, food, our food. Sorry. That's a different 00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:11.680 episode. I got a little ahead. I got a little 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.879 ahead. Yes. But our food is just absolutely terrible 00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:16.680 in this country. We kind of wanted to go over 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.640 some more generalized details, some more discussions, 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:21.840 topics around it, and kind of our own thoughts 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:23.060 and experiences with it, as well as a little 00:01:23.060 --> 00:01:26.719 bit of research we've done. But basically. Really, 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:28.420 this is kind of being brought about by some of 00:01:28.420 --> 00:01:31.000 the stuff that RFK is kind of doing. A .K .A. 00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:35.719 Brain Worm. I, in fact, will be referring to 00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:40.000 him as Brain Worm in the podcast. It is like 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.599 it's nice that he's taking a stand on that and 00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.200 actually wanted to do something about the crap 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.239 chemicals we put in our food. Absolutely. But 00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.040 I think the messaging could be better on it. 00:01:51.060 --> 00:01:53.159 But that's something we'll get into a little 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.569 bit later. Yeah. But anyways. I do want to. preface 00:01:56.569 --> 00:02:01.109 this, that aside from the shit that's in our 00:02:01.109 --> 00:02:05.689 food, a lot of it is the American mindset. We 00:02:05.689 --> 00:02:11.750 overeat. We overdo it because America. And that's 00:02:11.750 --> 00:02:14.530 just a fact of the way we've been raised. We 00:02:14.530 --> 00:02:18.349 are a land of plenty. We are used to having too 00:02:18.349 --> 00:02:22.689 much to go around. And honestly, I think our 00:02:22.689 --> 00:02:27.270 waistlines show it. The irony that we have come 00:02:27.270 --> 00:02:29.990 to enjoy is having our double quarter pounder 00:02:29.990 --> 00:02:32.530 meals and having the Diet Coke with it. I mean, 00:02:32.530 --> 00:02:34.650 sure, you cut out what you can where you can. 00:02:35.250 --> 00:02:38.150 But at the end of the day, moderation is not 00:02:38.150 --> 00:02:39.930 just a place that happens to exist where you 00:02:39.930 --> 00:02:44.750 happen to be that day. So you're not wrong. Well, 00:02:44.810 --> 00:02:46.069 the reason I want to bring up the health care 00:02:46.069 --> 00:02:48.409 thing was really because a lot of this kind of 00:02:48.409 --> 00:02:51.530 stems from. You're right with what Americans 00:02:51.530 --> 00:02:54.599 think. is healthy and with the food pyramid that 00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:56.319 they released in the 50s and 60s i know we touched 00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.240 briefly upon that a little bit yes but a lot 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:02.759 of our health problems stem from not just the 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:04.500 chemicals and the poison food which we're going 00:03:04.500 --> 00:03:08.319 to get into but this really starts from in america 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:09.819 when it comes to the food pyramid with being 00:03:09.819 --> 00:03:12.659 your grains your calories your calorically dense 00:03:12.659 --> 00:03:14.699 foods being at the bottom and putting things 00:03:14.699 --> 00:03:17.960 like meat and vegetables and fruit way up higher 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:20.639 to have less of which is really kind of the exact 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.180 opposite of what you want to do and then over 00:03:23.180 --> 00:03:25.240 the years with chemicals being cheaper than using 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.639 actual food or really with a lot of cases a lot 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:29.840 of chemicals being byproducts in the process 00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.219 of making other foods i'm saying hey what's a 00:03:32.219 --> 00:03:34.300 better way to get rid of it oh put it in the 00:03:34.300 --> 00:03:36.699 food but then also vice versa in america because 00:03:36.699 --> 00:03:38.219 we're such a big country it's hey we need to 00:03:38.219 --> 00:03:40.060 add preservatives so the food stays good for 00:03:40.060 --> 00:03:42.780 longer because then we make more money so it's 00:03:42.780 --> 00:03:45.550 this compounding problem that we've been dealing 00:03:45.550 --> 00:03:48.930 with yeah um one one of the and let me ask you 00:03:48.930 --> 00:03:52.069 this do you know why they started putting preservatives 00:03:52.069 --> 00:03:55.129 in the food to the extent that they did and i'll 00:03:55.129 --> 00:03:57.909 give you a hint it was not simply just for shelf 00:03:57.909 --> 00:04:04.009 life now it was it was shelf life adjacent i 00:04:04.009 --> 00:04:06.110 thought it was for the i thought they started 00:04:06.110 --> 00:04:08.990 using they wanted the food to look colorful and 00:04:08.990 --> 00:04:10.530 a lot of stuff they started using food dyes and 00:04:10.530 --> 00:04:12.009 different preservatives to keep it well that 00:04:12.009 --> 00:04:15.360 was just for food dyes but Originally, it was 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.439 because of shipping. They needed the food to 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:20.860 last long enough. A lot of it stemmed from when 00:04:20.860 --> 00:04:23.879 the highway system was just developing. The trucks 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.199 would take too long for stuff to get to the stores. 00:04:27.180 --> 00:04:31.000 So the food would be half rotten or all the way 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:35.259 rotten if trucks got held up. Now, a lot of this 00:04:35.259 --> 00:04:40.259 came about as your highways were developing. 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.360 using the farm to table methods. So they were 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:49.379 getting their stuff in from the bigger places. 00:04:50.139 --> 00:04:52.319 They needed a way to preserve the food for longer. 00:04:53.180 --> 00:04:55.500 Now, smaller communities that were still using 00:04:55.500 --> 00:04:57.920 the farm to table mentality, they didn't need 00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:03.000 that stuff because it wasn't going as far. No, 00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:05.540 but really with the emergence of our modern metropolis, 00:05:05.540 --> 00:05:07.879 basically places like New York city, Boston, 00:05:08.060 --> 00:05:10.139 LA, you know, this goes on and on. Yeah. When 00:05:10.139 --> 00:05:13.649 you have. When you have an overabundance of people 00:05:13.649 --> 00:05:15.569 and an underabundance of food and you have to 00:05:15.569 --> 00:05:17.949 start bringing it in from further away to meet 00:05:17.949 --> 00:05:20.410 the needs, that's when it starts to play in. 00:05:21.050 --> 00:05:23.170 And that's kind of the problem with every major 00:05:23.170 --> 00:05:26.589 metropolis. The suburbs have gotten farther and 00:05:26.589 --> 00:05:28.670 farther out, so then the agricultural areas have 00:05:28.670 --> 00:05:31.089 gotten farther and farther out. I mean, to be 00:05:31.089 --> 00:05:33.670 honest with you, I'm just in the New England 00:05:33.670 --> 00:05:37.230 area. You have to go significantly far away from 00:05:37.230 --> 00:05:40.889 Boston in order to find farms. People might say, 00:05:40.949 --> 00:05:42.829 oh, yeah, there's a farm around or in Boston. 00:05:43.550 --> 00:05:47.170 Let's be real. It's not actually what you would 00:05:47.170 --> 00:05:49.050 consider a farm that produces enough to have 00:05:49.050 --> 00:05:51.410 a meaningful impact. No. Those farms usually 00:05:51.410 --> 00:05:54.329 make niche things or they supply a couple of 00:05:54.329 --> 00:05:57.069 restaurants or a few different places. If they 00:05:57.069 --> 00:05:59.189 left, they wouldn't even have an impact on the 00:05:59.189 --> 00:06:00.709 people that actually live there. You'd never 00:06:00.709 --> 00:06:02.629 know. I hate to say it. Same thing with New York 00:06:02.629 --> 00:06:05.250 or any of their major cities. The farms have 00:06:05.250 --> 00:06:07.430 been pushed so far away that I hate to say it, 00:06:07.470 --> 00:06:09.370 but preservatives in some things are almost necessary. 00:06:10.009 --> 00:06:12.930 By the time they can actually be, you know, produced 00:06:12.930 --> 00:06:16.009 and then manufactured and everything. Yeah, exactly. 00:06:16.209 --> 00:06:19.829 Yeah. But the distance is definitely a big thing, 00:06:19.870 --> 00:06:22.050 especially where like, there's also something 00:06:22.050 --> 00:06:24.170 else that's kind of considered in America. We 00:06:24.170 --> 00:06:26.329 don't really have that many walkable areas or 00:06:26.329 --> 00:06:28.310 cities. Everything is by automotive, by car. 00:06:28.889 --> 00:06:30.449 Whereas like over in Europe and a lot of other 00:06:30.449 --> 00:06:32.329 countries where they'll have like a daily bread 00:06:32.329 --> 00:06:34.430 maker, the local person that makes the bread 00:06:34.430 --> 00:06:36.110 that has the chickens, gets the meat, does the 00:06:36.110 --> 00:06:39.319 butchers, whatever. Whereas America, like, Almost 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:40.699 nobody lives in a city where you actually just 00:06:40.699 --> 00:06:43.500 walk around. Well, even a lot of major cities, 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:45.740 you still don't even necessarily only walk around. 00:06:46.139 --> 00:06:49.519 It's only in like the top five. I was just like 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:53.399 your top 10, maybe top 15 cities you would walk 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.079 around, but you probably don't walk more than 00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.360 a few blocks from where you live. So that's going 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:03.579 to be like your bubble. Aside from your commute 00:07:03.579 --> 00:07:08.920 to work. if you have a commute to work rather 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:15.519 oh yeah but uh yeah you're you're pretty much 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:19.000 right on that yeah that's that that's kind of 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:22.800 the the the big difference there yeah so in america 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:24.639 there's just it's one of the factors where we 00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:26.360 have to have food that can be preserved for a 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.680 while um because also you have to consider too 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:34.779 with the increases in taxes and regulations as 00:07:34.779 --> 00:07:37.439 well as things like Introduction of pesticides 00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:39.259 and a lot of other things. We can talk about 00:07:39.259 --> 00:07:45.000 the Monsanto stuff later on. DDT. Yep. Basically, 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:48.480 what's with Roundup? Yep, exactly. Roundup's 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:54.000 delicious. Tastes like bacon. But with the destruction 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.519 of a lot of the small farms as well and being 00:07:56.519 --> 00:08:02.100 taken up by corporations, large monopolies, the 00:08:02.100 --> 00:08:04.480 issue has always been that. every single year 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:06.199 more and more of the family farms not only push 00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:07.720 far away from the city but they're also bought 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.019 up and or destroyed or in case of certain areas 00:08:11.019 --> 00:08:13.560 regulations make it impossible to farm that's 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:15.779 why in like my state there's a big thing about 00:08:15.779 --> 00:08:17.740 making like right to farm communities where the 00:08:17.740 --> 00:08:19.279 idea is like if you're not in a right to farm 00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:21.339 community they can actually go after you for 00:08:21.339 --> 00:08:23.759 farming on your own land if you don't have the 00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:26.860 explicit right oh yeah because they'll say you 00:08:26.860 --> 00:08:28.160 don't they don't want fertilizer on the land 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:29.740 because what happens if that if that makes if 00:08:29.740 --> 00:08:31.339 that affects the environment or does other stuff 00:08:31.339 --> 00:08:35.000 or if you have animals that create a smell. That's 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:36.659 an undue smell on other people's property. They 00:08:36.659 --> 00:08:37.980 shouldn't have to smell that. It's all that kind 00:08:37.980 --> 00:08:40.679 of stuff. In my state, that's why there's a big 00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.559 argument. I'm sorry. The farm was there first. 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:47.320 They chose to move in. To them, it doesn't matter. 00:08:47.379 --> 00:08:50.779 It's unsightly. They're unsightly. Move along. 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:54.039 I know. My response is get a mirror. They'll 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:59.820 learn. You know, the protests in France, I think 00:08:59.820 --> 00:09:02.200 they're doing some things right. That's how you 00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:05.320 handle neighbors like that. Yeah, you just take 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.559 a harvester and dump a literal fuck ton of shit 00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:11.980 on their property. Exactly. Here you go. Here's 00:09:11.980 --> 00:09:14.500 your unsightly right there on your doorstep. 00:09:14.500 --> 00:09:17.240 Thank you very much. Move along. You know what? 00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:19.000 The French aren't professional at many things, 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:21.080 but protesting is something that they're really 00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:24.139 fucking good at. Right? I mean, didn't they invent 00:09:24.139 --> 00:09:26.860 the guillotine? Yeah, you know, they're really 00:09:26.860 --> 00:09:28.500 good at revolutions, but they're really good 00:09:28.500 --> 00:09:31.909 at almost doing them. Right. They'll do a revolution, 00:09:31.929 --> 00:09:33.730 like almost go all the way through it. Right. 00:09:33.889 --> 00:09:36.190 And then they end up back with the same bullshit 00:09:36.190 --> 00:09:38.529 oligarchy. Yep. I don't know. It's this weird 00:09:38.529 --> 00:09:40.049 thing with them. But anyways, that's a whole 00:09:40.049 --> 00:09:43.990 different. Fun sidebar. I went to look at some, 00:09:44.049 --> 00:09:46.990 some guns at a gun store years ago. Guy showed 00:09:46.990 --> 00:09:49.490 me a French rifle and I asked him also, it's 00:09:49.490 --> 00:09:56.789 only been dropped once. All right. That's a new 00:09:56.789 --> 00:10:00.559 one. I like that. That's funny. That's funny. 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.799 Oh, man. It took him a solid second to think 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:05.299 about that when he started cracking up laughing. 00:10:08.220 --> 00:10:10.860 You don't even make that many good rifles either 00:10:10.860 --> 00:10:12.679 now that I think about it. Yeah, they've only 00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:19.440 had a few. So I guess we could start right at 00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:26.019 the top of our notes. We have some of the worst 00:10:26.019 --> 00:10:29.490 food standards in the world, period. A lot of 00:10:29.490 --> 00:10:32.149 our food is banned in other countries, not just 00:10:32.149 --> 00:10:34.509 for the chemicals that are in it, but because 00:10:34.509 --> 00:10:37.690 of the ingredients that we allow in it. A lot 00:10:37.690 --> 00:10:42.509 of our bread counts as cake in other countries 00:10:42.509 --> 00:10:45.230 because of the amount of sugar in it. Why our 00:10:45.230 --> 00:10:49.269 bread has to have sugar in it is beyond me. Now, 00:10:49.330 --> 00:10:51.370 I understand putting sugar in it for like the 00:10:51.370 --> 00:10:54.789 fermenting process for the yeast. I get that 00:10:54.789 --> 00:10:59.120 part. And beyond that. Bread does not need sugar. 00:10:59.659 --> 00:11:02.340 Bread is fine without it. I have had homemade 00:11:02.340 --> 00:11:05.519 bread without sugar. It's delicious. It's bread. 00:11:05.820 --> 00:11:08.480 It's supposed to taste like bread, not sweet 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:10.899 bread. I've had sweet bread. Sweet bread is great. 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.440 You don't need to have the sugar unless it's 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.500 sweet bread. No. I'll get off my soapbox there. 00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:22.940 You want to take the next one? Well, what I did 00:11:22.940 --> 00:11:25.830 want to make up is like. Well, bread is one of 00:11:25.830 --> 00:11:27.429 those things where anyone can learn to make at 00:11:27.429 --> 00:11:29.750 home. Even like sourdough bread and other stuff. 00:11:30.090 --> 00:11:32.350 Get ready to say sourdough has become the new 00:11:32.350 --> 00:11:37.269 housewife craze. Well, the thing is, right, is 00:11:37.269 --> 00:11:40.210 to go to a store and get actually good bread 00:11:40.210 --> 00:11:43.450 in America. It's fucking expensive. It's only 00:11:43.450 --> 00:11:45.629 expensive, but most of it has still been sitting 00:11:45.629 --> 00:11:48.610 around for a day or two. Like, you know how bad 00:11:48.610 --> 00:11:50.870 it is? My girlfriend and I, we actually order 00:11:50.870 --> 00:11:53.840 from a local lady that makes them. And mind you, 00:11:53.860 --> 00:11:58.259 I paid $10 for a loaf of sourdough. It's the 00:11:58.259 --> 00:12:00.460 best sourdough I've ever had in my life. But 00:12:00.460 --> 00:12:04.500 it's the only person around. We're working on 00:12:04.500 --> 00:12:06.320 it. For $10 a loaf, you all need to start making 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:09.980 that shit. We have some plans in the works. Don't 00:12:09.980 --> 00:12:13.919 you worry. Okay. But it's the idea that, like, 00:12:13.980 --> 00:12:16.480 there were things that a lot of Americans, it 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.019 was very typical for a lot of American families 00:12:18.019 --> 00:12:20.620 to use to be able to make your own bread. like 00:12:20.620 --> 00:12:22.259 i even have like a machine at my house that's 00:12:22.259 --> 00:12:24.139 for making like the non -sour like the regular 00:12:24.139 --> 00:12:26.679 breads and stuff like that it used to be common 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:29.159 knowledge but now it's because people don't have 00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:30.720 the time or don't have whatever they don't make 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.340 it but also finding any sort of person that like 00:12:33.340 --> 00:12:37.100 knows how to make these foods even just generic 00:12:37.100 --> 00:12:40.059 stuff it's actually rather difficult if at least 00:12:40.059 --> 00:12:42.600 in my area anyway everyone found like a couple 00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:47.340 of people for whatever fucking reason but anyways 00:12:47.340 --> 00:12:48.580 did you want me to go down with the specific 00:12:50.180 --> 00:12:54.460 I definitely want to hit on one of the big additives, 00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:59.840 potassium bromate. That one's used as a dose 00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:02.519 strengthener in baked goods like breads and rolls. 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:06.840 That's been linked to cancer in animal studies. 00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:10.220 Absolutely banned in the European Union, the 00:13:10.220 --> 00:13:15.120 UK, Canada, and a lot of other countries. California 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:19.610 will be banning it completely. Effective 2027. 00:13:20.690 --> 00:13:22.909 You know, that's probably the first time California's 00:13:22.909 --> 00:13:28.269 banned something and I agree with it. Yeah. Why 00:13:28.269 --> 00:13:34.509 would we even want that? The list gets worse 00:13:34.509 --> 00:13:36.509 the further down that we go. You're kidding. 00:13:36.610 --> 00:13:38.610 So that's probably like the least bad one that 00:13:38.610 --> 00:13:43.809 we have on the list. Okay. Do you want to take 00:13:43.809 --> 00:13:46.789 the next one? Sure. BVO. Yep. Bromated vegetable 00:13:46.789 --> 00:13:48.750 oil. This one I have actually heard of before. 00:13:49.230 --> 00:13:51.690 Before we were doing this list. Used as emulsifier 00:13:51.690 --> 00:13:53.870 in citrus -flavored drinks, like some sodas. 00:13:54.049 --> 00:13:57.230 Contains bromine found in flame retardants. Linked 00:13:57.230 --> 00:13:59.470 to neurological issues. Banned in the EU, Japan, 00:13:59.549 --> 00:14:03.129 and India. FDA recently moved to revoke its approval. 00:14:03.610 --> 00:14:07.429 Here's my question. Who is the jackass that approved 00:14:07.429 --> 00:14:11.120 that in the first place? Yep. Like, the minute 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.840 you know it can be linked to neurological issues, 00:14:13.860 --> 00:14:15.340 you should immediately pull it and say, we got 00:14:15.340 --> 00:14:18.259 to look at this first. It's too cheap to do that, 00:14:18.259 --> 00:14:22.480 though, Gibbs. It's so cost effective, who cares? 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.940 It's probably cheaper to write off a paycheck 00:14:25.940 --> 00:14:28.539 to a lawsuit that may or may not get settled 00:14:28.539 --> 00:14:32.620 than it is to stop using this as an additive 00:14:32.620 --> 00:14:36.740 in your drinks. Yeah, we're going to. I'm going 00:14:36.740 --> 00:14:39.769 to hold off. On my FDA rant until we get to it. 00:14:39.850 --> 00:14:43.929 We have a whole episode planned on the FDA and 00:14:43.929 --> 00:14:46.730 FEMA and all that other shit. Some of the alphabet 00:14:46.730 --> 00:14:52.570 agencies. One of my personal favorites to rant 00:14:52.570 --> 00:14:58.769 about. Titanium dioxide. Used as a whitening 00:14:58.769 --> 00:15:01.690 agent in many processed foods, including candies, 00:15:01.750 --> 00:15:05.009 desserts, and soups. It is the white part of 00:15:05.009 --> 00:15:07.539 the white icing and Pop -Tarts. That's like the 00:15:07.539 --> 00:15:12.399 most known use of titanium dioxide in food. The 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:17.200 EU has banned it as a food additive, citing genotoxicity 00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:22.659 concerns, potentially damaging to DNA. It is 00:15:22.659 --> 00:15:25.080 still allowed in the US, though California recently 00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:28.179 banned it. It is an industrial cleaning agent. 00:15:30.100 --> 00:15:33.519 So, this is one of those things that I wish I 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:36.120 didn't learn on this podcast. Yeah. Because that 00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:37.659 used to be a guilty pleasure of mine was having 00:15:37.659 --> 00:15:40.840 a Pop -Tart. Uh -huh. The maple and brown sugar 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:42.740 ones in particular were like a sweet spot with 00:15:42.740 --> 00:15:48.799 me. Yeah. I used to love the s'mores ones. Mmm. 00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:54.740 Yeah. And the titanium dioxide. It's in like 00:15:54.740 --> 00:15:58.679 industrial strength degreasers. So what the fuck 00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:02.700 is it doing in the food? Exactly. The whitening 00:16:02.700 --> 00:16:08.279 agent? Uh -huh. How is that the easiest road 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:13.399 to make it whiter? I mean, fuck, look at us. 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:16.179 We're white as shit. I know. That's probably 00:16:16.179 --> 00:16:19.019 where I get a lot of it. That's probably my problem. 00:16:19.139 --> 00:16:21.039 That's why I can't tan anymore. Too many goddamn 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:26.159 Pop -Tarts. Yeah. Give him... Osai in chat said, 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:27.419 give me a minute. I'm going to throw up my brown 00:16:27.419 --> 00:16:32.879 sugar Pop -Tart. Dude, that's wild. So just so 00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:34.860 chat knows, I only looked up a few of these before. 00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:37.980 is I wanted to react to these live. That one 00:16:37.980 --> 00:16:40.460 actually makes me really sad. Like, I hope everyone 00:16:40.460 --> 00:16:42.379 at home understands that, like, a Pop -Tart to 00:16:42.379 --> 00:16:44.080 me of, like, a special connection, and that you 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:45.700 just ruined tomorrow's breakfast for me. Thank 00:16:45.700 --> 00:16:48.620 you. You are welcome, sir. And now I have to 00:16:48.620 --> 00:16:51.019 find some other way to start my work week. Yeah. 00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:55.320 And to all those people at home that are listening 00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:58.000 to the podcast that that morning had a Pop -Tart, 00:16:58.100 --> 00:17:03.059 and now they're listening, I'm sorry. But potential 00:17:03.059 --> 00:17:07.160 damage to DNA? Yeah. Genotoxicity. Like what? 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:15.180 Yeah. So I had to dig just a tiny bit. Commonly 00:17:15.180 --> 00:17:18.119 used in auto lubricant products such as greases, 00:17:18.220 --> 00:17:23.019 gears, gear and engine oil can also be found 00:17:23.019 --> 00:17:30.720 in, if this loads, cosmetics, building materials. 00:17:32.569 --> 00:17:38.369 Um, let's see. It's non flammable. Well, it's 00:17:38.369 --> 00:17:41.130 a, it's a common ingredient in concrete. So there 00:17:41.130 --> 00:17:45.029 you go. There's solid, uh, plastics and rubbers, 00:17:45.049 --> 00:17:49.170 pigments and coatings. Uh, but it can be found 00:17:49.170 --> 00:17:56.450 in things such as coffee creamer, uh, non, uh, 00:17:56.630 --> 00:18:03.849 non -organic milks. Yeah. salad dressings wait 00:18:03.849 --> 00:18:09.069 a minute if you just infant formula no yes no 00:18:09.069 --> 00:18:13.849 we're feeding we start our kids off right that 00:18:13.849 --> 00:18:15.529 that's why i really believe we should just go 00:18:15.529 --> 00:18:18.589 breast milk if you can do it oh 100 throw me 00:18:18.589 --> 00:18:20.190 the kid form was a full of shit that i learned 00:18:20.190 --> 00:18:23.970 recently yeah oh my god it's a baby formula why 00:18:23.970 --> 00:18:25.609 why does it matter what color it is if it's a 00:18:25.609 --> 00:18:32.650 whitening agent why why yes Okay. Oh, he said 00:18:32.650 --> 00:18:34.289 a chat is asking my question. Hold on. Which 00:18:34.289 --> 00:18:37.250 creamer? Also, if you ruined a fair life milk 00:18:37.250 --> 00:18:38.829 for me, I'm going to have a fucking problem. 00:18:41.150 --> 00:18:45.529 If that stuff is in fair life, I live off that 00:18:45.529 --> 00:18:48.930 shit as a man. That's trying to eat fewer calories 00:18:48.930 --> 00:18:53.650 and drink more protein. That's. No, don't you 00:18:53.650 --> 00:18:57.150 do this to me. I'm sorry, Gibbs. No, don't do 00:18:57.150 --> 00:19:00.519 this. Yes. Fairlife milk products contain titanium 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:04.759 dioxide, specifically low -fat and skim milk 00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:07.400 varieties, as well as some chocolate milk options. 00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:18.799 God damn it, Bob. Now, I... I mean, I'm sure 00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:21.859 my DNA can handle a little bit of Fairlife. I 00:19:21.859 --> 00:19:23.559 don't know if I can give that stuff up. It's 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:27.930 so good. It's... That pisses me off. Okay, now. 00:19:28.009 --> 00:19:29.490 I wonder if it's in the chocolate one. What's 00:19:29.490 --> 00:19:31.750 that? I wonder if it's in the chocolate one. 00:19:31.829 --> 00:19:34.309 Yes, it's specifically called out chocolate as 00:19:34.309 --> 00:19:38.289 well. Yes, so there you go. Don't you shoot me 00:19:38.289 --> 00:19:41.730 in the balls, why don't you? Yeah. Everything 00:19:41.730 --> 00:19:44.789 sucks. I know. I'm going to let you take the 00:19:44.789 --> 00:19:48.589 next one, but I do want to have a little sidebar 00:19:48.589 --> 00:19:50.609 on this, so go ahead and take this one away. 00:19:51.329 --> 00:19:54.730 So this one I do have a sidebar on as well. We 00:19:54.730 --> 00:19:57.500 may have the same sidebar. probably very similar 00:19:57.500 --> 00:20:00.460 um the u .s also allows artificial food dyes 00:20:00.460 --> 00:20:04.220 uh dyes like red three which are recently banned 00:20:04.220 --> 00:20:06.059 but as well as they will be banning things like 00:20:06.059 --> 00:20:08.579 red 40 yellow five yellow six blue one blue two 00:20:08.579 --> 00:20:12.920 now this i have actually seen before and i do 00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:16.380 want to back up here it's linked to hyperactivity 00:20:16.380 --> 00:20:18.980 in children and potential cancer risks in animal 00:20:18.980 --> 00:20:21.640 studies may require it requires warning labels 00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:23.579 in the eu and are banned in some european countries 00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:25.660 They're found in candy things like Skittles, 00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:27.900 M &Ms, although M &Ms in Sweden are banned due 00:20:27.900 --> 00:20:30.539 to a trademark issue, not dyes. But they're in 00:20:30.539 --> 00:20:32.700 things like cereals, processed snacks, and drinks. 00:20:33.059 --> 00:20:35.220 Basically anything with a bright color to it 00:20:35.220 --> 00:20:37.140 that's either red, blue, yellow, any one of the 00:20:37.140 --> 00:20:43.259 primaries. So something that my girlfriend noticed, 00:20:43.299 --> 00:20:46.119 because she works with kids that are on the spectrum. 00:20:48.220 --> 00:20:50.640 She noticed years ago, mind you, this is like 00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:52.960 four or five years ago, that some of the kids 00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:56.740 have a... big reaction to certain food dyes yep 00:20:56.740 --> 00:20:59.200 some kids are fine some kids totally are not 00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:03.740 some kids whether it be adhd or add or even you 00:21:03.740 --> 00:21:05.160 know on the autism spectrum or anything like 00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:08.779 that it would totally for some of those kids 00:21:08.779 --> 00:21:11.740 throughout their routine it would just throw 00:21:11.740 --> 00:21:15.819 them completely out of whack yep and she always 00:21:15.819 --> 00:21:18.140 mentioned something to me about it and like i 00:21:18.140 --> 00:21:20.400 you know i i believe you're gonna be wrong i 00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:21.980 never really looked into it until more recently 00:21:22.670 --> 00:21:26.970 and like holy crap there are some kids that it's 00:21:26.970 --> 00:21:28.970 like putting them on a drug like you would you 00:21:28.970 --> 00:21:31.289 would think that oh it's just a dye in our minds 00:21:31.289 --> 00:21:32.569 you're thinking oh it's just like something that's 00:21:32.569 --> 00:21:34.150 like a colored water type of thing or maybe like 00:21:34.150 --> 00:21:37.450 a light chemical but nothing crazy no some of 00:21:37.450 --> 00:21:39.390 that stuff is nasty yeah some of these food dyes 00:21:39.390 --> 00:21:43.089 are insane uh the sidebar i wanted to specifically 00:21:43.089 --> 00:21:46.869 mention was these food dyes are getting banned 00:21:46.869 --> 00:21:50.250 yes a lot of the companies have already started 00:21:50.250 --> 00:21:54.650 to chemically or I'm sorry, submit chemical name 00:21:54.650 --> 00:22:01.490 changes to get around the bans. A lot of the 00:22:01.490 --> 00:22:04.029 lists are already coming out. That should not 00:22:04.029 --> 00:22:08.150 be allowed. Money talks, buddy. Yeah, but the 00:22:08.150 --> 00:22:10.569 FDA needs to make a rule that for one chemical 00:22:10.569 --> 00:22:12.289 composition, it should have one name and that's 00:22:12.289 --> 00:22:15.829 it. Yeah. That's it. So this is actually, my 00:22:15.829 --> 00:22:17.410 mom's been fighting for this actually in the 00:22:17.410 --> 00:22:19.900 local government for a while. uh because she 00:22:19.900 --> 00:22:22.319 has like a brain and spinal fluid issue so for 00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:24.299 her food is really important because she has 00:22:24.299 --> 00:22:26.779 a severe msg allergy where if she has it she's 00:22:26.779 --> 00:22:30.299 basically disabled for a day because yeah basically 00:22:30.299 --> 00:22:32.640 it affects her neurologically so essentially 00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:35.099 with her with something like that gets into her 00:22:35.099 --> 00:22:37.500 system she has severe migraines and sometimes 00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:39.099 can't move her limbs sometimes can't do other 00:22:39.099 --> 00:22:42.099 things it's a little freaky um she's like one 00:22:42.099 --> 00:22:43.579 of like 50 people or somebody in the world to 00:22:43.579 --> 00:22:46.660 have that condition but it's her problem of like 00:22:46.660 --> 00:22:48.640 msg is allowed to have like 20 different names 00:22:49.019 --> 00:22:51.240 And sometimes I'll change it every few years. 00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:53.839 So sometimes she'll go to a store, buy something, 00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:57.160 and then come home, eat it, and then we'll wonder 00:22:57.160 --> 00:22:58.779 why she's passed out on the couch and got to 00:22:58.779 --> 00:23:00.180 pick her up, bring her upstairs, do whatever. 00:23:00.339 --> 00:23:03.720 But it's something to where why the hell is it 00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:05.740 mandated? There should be one name for one chemical 00:23:05.740 --> 00:23:11.079 composition. That's it. Yep. Yeah, I stumbled 00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:14.519 across the list. I'm going to try to remember 00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:17.700 to put it up in the Discord later. the ones that 00:23:17.700 --> 00:23:20.240 I was able to find, uh, because that's information 00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:23.960 we're sharing. That's something I actually kind 00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:26.079 of want to be on top of. Yeah. I feel like a 00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:28.019 lot of people could use that information. Yeah. 00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:32.579 Um, that's bullshit. Uh, that's, that's beyond 00:23:32.579 --> 00:23:35.180 dirty and underhanded is trying to get around 00:23:35.180 --> 00:23:37.480 a banning by changing the name of a chemical. 00:23:37.740 --> 00:23:40.960 Fuck that. That's a hell of a precedent that 00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:43.720 sets, right? I'm not stealing your shit. I'm 00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:46.410 just tactically acquiring it. I don't know what 00:23:46.410 --> 00:23:48.710 to tell you. Hey, it worked for Ukraine, right? 00:23:52.930 --> 00:24:01.710 BHA and BHT, butylated. Oh, Jesus Christ. Hydroxin, 00:24:01.710 --> 00:24:07.930 soul and butylated hydroxyl toluene. I got that 00:24:07.930 --> 00:24:11.589 one. Preservatives used to prevent spoilage in 00:24:11.589 --> 00:24:15.509 cereals, snacks and packaged foods. Animal studies 00:24:15.509 --> 00:24:18.609 suggest potential leaks to cancer. It has been 00:24:18.609 --> 00:24:22.390 banned in the EU and Japan. Let me just say this. 00:24:23.069 --> 00:24:26.690 If you cannot easily pronounce it, it should 00:24:26.690 --> 00:24:30.089 not be going in our mouths. If it cannot easily 00:24:30.089 --> 00:24:32.470 come out of the mouth, it should not easily go 00:24:32.470 --> 00:24:39.049 into the mouth. You know. Like penis. I knew 00:24:39.049 --> 00:24:41.150 you were going to do it. I knew you were going 00:24:41.150 --> 00:24:43.049 to do it. The problem is you do it also because 00:24:43.049 --> 00:24:44.470 someone has a lisp that doesn't usually come 00:24:44.470 --> 00:24:47.730 out of their mouth. So congratulations. Just, 00:24:47.789 --> 00:24:58.190 it's like the Tyson effect. Penis. Anyways. But 00:24:58.190 --> 00:25:00.650 no, I do agree with you that there are some things 00:25:00.650 --> 00:25:04.779 to where, if it's even questionable. why the 00:25:04.779 --> 00:25:07.900 hell is it allowed yeah especially like why aren't 00:25:07.900 --> 00:25:09.240 we looking at other countries being like hey 00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:13.380 if even they mind you this is japan who they're 00:25:13.380 --> 00:25:15.259 not exactly known for eating the cleanest food 00:25:15.259 --> 00:25:17.240 when 80 what they eat is seafood a lot of it 00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:20.119 has like no no no japan has got some extremely 00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:24.559 rigorous food safety requirements now now when 00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:28.220 india if if some of these we already mentioned 00:25:28.220 --> 00:25:31.000 india has banned some of this shit When a country 00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:34.240 like India is saying, no, that's too dangerous 00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:40.500 for our food. Buddy, they allow the street food 00:25:40.500 --> 00:25:45.980 to exist in that country. And oh, my God. Have 00:25:45.980 --> 00:25:49.220 you ever seen the videos of the average Indian 00:25:49.220 --> 00:25:55.240 man? And it just shows like a video of Gandhi 00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:57.960 just basically shitting straight diarrhea floating 00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:00.619 like a hovercraft going down the street. The 00:26:00.619 --> 00:26:02.980 entire street is brown. Everything is brown. 00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:08.039 Oh, it's stuff like that. The street food videos 00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:12.400 from India upset my stomach for three days. Just 00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:16.559 the videos. It's so bad. My favorite one is the 00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:18.799 guy that literally scratched inside of his asshole 00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:20.859 and go serve people food with the same hand. 00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:24.400 Yeah. I, you know, I never wanted to go to India 00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:26.099 before, but now I really think we might want 00:26:26.099 --> 00:26:29.359 to nuke it. I don't know. It's kind of. God, 00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:32.660 at this point, if India and Pakistan go to war 00:26:32.660 --> 00:26:34.640 at this point, it looks like they might at this 00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:36.019 point, do we just kind of like step out of the 00:26:36.019 --> 00:26:38.619 way? Be like, well, it's a problem to solve itself. 00:26:40.859 --> 00:26:42.920 But no, what I was getting at with Japan is like. 00:26:43.810 --> 00:26:45.769 with what their standards used to be with the 00:26:45.769 --> 00:26:47.509 amount of fish that they ate and the amount of 00:26:47.509 --> 00:26:50.329 crap that they ate out of the ocean, if even 00:26:50.329 --> 00:26:52.130 they have had this stuff banned for a while, 00:26:52.250 --> 00:26:55.869 why doesn't that raise a red flag? Yeah. You're 00:26:55.869 --> 00:26:58.769 like, you know, they might be on to something. 00:26:59.269 --> 00:27:03.109 Yeah. But no. Why would we? Yeah. I'll let you 00:27:03.109 --> 00:27:06.450 take this next one. Oh. Good luck with that one. 00:27:07.609 --> 00:27:12.819 Azotocarbonamide. Yeah. Or short, ADA. It's a 00:27:12.819 --> 00:27:14.779 dough conditioner used in some breads and baked 00:27:14.779 --> 00:27:17.880 goods. Also used to make yoga mats. Linked to 00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:19.980 respiratory issues like asthma by the World Health 00:27:19.980 --> 00:27:23.259 Organization banning the EU. Yes, I love chewing 00:27:23.259 --> 00:27:25.079 on a yoga mat. You know what I was going to say? 00:27:25.180 --> 00:27:27.279 Every time I have bread or something, I can think, 00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:30.859 man, this does not taste as good as my yoga mat. 00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:32.920 For whatever reason, it just doesn't compare. 00:27:33.900 --> 00:27:35.539 It's just not as salty. I don't know. I just 00:27:35.539 --> 00:27:41.650 can't deal with it. Got to have that taste of 00:27:41.650 --> 00:27:52.150 fresh taint sweat to go down. Did you get asthma 00:27:52.150 --> 00:27:54.750 because of the bread? Maybe, Osad. Maybe. You 00:27:54.750 --> 00:27:57.630 may have a bread allergy because of the stuff 00:27:57.630 --> 00:27:59.990 in the bread, buddy. You know what? That is something 00:27:59.990 --> 00:28:02.430 that I don't know if it's because we report it 00:28:02.430 --> 00:28:05.150 more often nowadays or maybe more people have 00:28:05.150 --> 00:28:08.160 it, but I know a lot of people have asthma. Well, 00:28:08.180 --> 00:28:10.000 not just asthma, but food allergies in general. 00:28:10.740 --> 00:28:13.019 I'm not so sure it's because of the food itself 00:28:13.019 --> 00:28:16.599 or because of the additives in the food. But 00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:18.579 a lot of the food allergies that we have now 00:28:18.579 --> 00:28:25.079 did not exist 50 years ago. I know. So, RBST 00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:31.839 and RBGH, recombinant bovine somatropin growth 00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:35.759 hormone, synthetic hormone given to cows to increase 00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:38.980 milk production. linked to potential health issues 00:28:38.980 --> 00:28:42.700 in cows and elevated levels of IGF -1 in milk, 00:28:42.859 --> 00:28:45.940 which some studies suggest could be linked to 00:28:45.940 --> 00:28:48.539 certain cancers in humans. It's been banned in 00:28:48.539 --> 00:28:52.039 the EU, Canada, and other nations. Still legal 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.880 in the U .S., milk is often labeled if it's RBST 00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:02.200 -free. By the way, to find milk that's RBST -free, 00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:04.509 you have to basically buy specialty milk. I do 00:29:04.509 --> 00:29:05.950 the regular milks you get at grocery stores. 00:29:06.069 --> 00:29:09.049 They have it in it. I've tried. Yeah. That's 00:29:09.049 --> 00:29:13.910 something I've tried before. Yeah. So drink milk 00:29:13.910 --> 00:29:17.990 to get your dose of growth hormone. That's a 00:29:17.990 --> 00:29:19.970 drink your milk. You grow up big and strong, 00:29:20.089 --> 00:29:26.049 right? Wrong. They weren't wrong, but they didn't 00:29:26.049 --> 00:29:28.009 mention the cancer. That's the problem. That's 00:29:28.009 --> 00:29:29.309 why you're bigger. You got an extra couple pounds 00:29:29.309 --> 00:29:35.059 of cancer on you. It's just a mass. It's okay. 00:29:35.299 --> 00:29:37.279 It's benign. It's fine. If you let it go long 00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:38.839 enough, it'll be a third arm. Don't worry about 00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:45.200 it. It's fine. This is delicious. This one's 00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:55.259 tasty. Give it to me, Gibbs. It's so tasty. It's 00:29:55.259 --> 00:30:03.039 so tasty. Could you not? I don't know what's 00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:04.880 wrong with you. How many times have you dropped 00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:08.160 as a child? So much. Only twice. Only twice, 00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:11.019 what, down three flights of stairs? Two. Okay. 00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:17.940 Fair enough. Anyways, besides the point, there's 00:30:17.940 --> 00:30:19.839 also chlorine -washed chicken, the practice of 00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:23.099 washing chicken with chlorine. Would you quit 00:30:23.099 --> 00:30:29.250 it? Goddamn. But... Basically, there is the practice 00:30:29.250 --> 00:30:32.890 in different factories of basically washing the 00:30:32.890 --> 00:30:35.049 chicken in chlorine baths to kill off bacteria. 00:30:35.589 --> 00:30:37.769 That has banned the EU over concerns it can mask 00:30:37.769 --> 00:30:39.789 poor hygiene practices. I will tell you this. 00:30:40.109 --> 00:30:41.990 Some of the known chickens, I have friends that 00:30:41.990 --> 00:30:43.890 raise chickens, that slaughter them, do everything. 00:30:44.609 --> 00:30:47.089 If you do it right, you don't need to chlorine 00:30:47.089 --> 00:30:50.190 wash them. You don't need to do any of that. 00:30:51.089 --> 00:30:53.630 So if other companies are doing it, it's because 00:30:53.630 --> 00:30:55.829 they're probably doing what they consider the... 00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:59.000 Free -range chickens which are like 10 ,000 chickens 00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:01.000 at a big warehouse and they call it free -range 00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:02.480 and they basically never give them Sun Never 00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:04.460 give them air never give them whatever they just 00:31:04.460 --> 00:31:06.480 fatten them up and then let them die or kill 00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:08.200 them But they get so big that they basically 00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:11.140 fall over break their legs then they die You 00:31:11.140 --> 00:31:13.099 really don't need to do that if you're doing 00:31:13.099 --> 00:31:14.960 it, right? So the fact that they do it means, 00:31:15.059 --> 00:31:17.339 you know, they are not screening this stuff. 00:31:17.460 --> 00:31:20.400 They're not doing it properly That's it's really 00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:21.759 inherent with the problem when you're trying 00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:24.519 to deal, you know, several hundred thousand pounds 00:31:24.519 --> 00:31:28.109 of chicken a day Mm hmm. Is really there's just 00:31:28.109 --> 00:31:29.970 no manpower. There's no way to do that effectively. 00:31:30.190 --> 00:31:32.069 So this is kind of like the natural problem with 00:31:32.069 --> 00:31:35.250 it. So it's a damn shame that, you know, our 00:31:35.250 --> 00:31:39.049 standards are better with it. But. It isn't chlorine 00:31:39.049 --> 00:31:42.589 is not they were talking about that also could 00:31:42.589 --> 00:31:47.009 be like a carcinogen. Mm hmm. So just saying. 00:31:50.130 --> 00:31:53.250 You'd have to fact check me on this, but I believe 00:31:53.250 --> 00:31:56.759 it's one of the ones that is fat soluble. And 00:31:56.759 --> 00:31:59.000 that's why it's such an issue. I didn't know 00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:02.319 that. I might be thinking of something else. 00:32:02.339 --> 00:32:05.700 So please fact check me on that one. But if I'm 00:32:05.700 --> 00:32:09.640 wrong, please let me know. So what I'm hearing 00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:13.099 is if I spend enough time in a pool and I cut 00:32:13.099 --> 00:32:16.819 me open, I could taste the chlorine. Possibly. 00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:20.940 Okay. That's a different, should be a different 00:32:20.940 --> 00:32:25.289 type of chlorine. Oh, fair enough. Yeah. Oh, 00:32:25.289 --> 00:32:28.430 sidebar, since you mentioned pools, did you know 00:32:28.430 --> 00:32:31.170 if you're in a swimming pool and you can smell 00:32:31.170 --> 00:32:33.410 chlorine, it's not actually the chlorine you're 00:32:33.410 --> 00:32:36.329 smelling. Yep. You're smelling the chemical reaction 00:32:36.329 --> 00:32:38.430 between chlorine and all the pee in the water. 00:32:38.650 --> 00:32:41.730 Yep. There's your fun fact for the day. I just 00:32:41.730 --> 00:32:46.730 ruined swimming pools for you. See, that's why 00:32:46.730 --> 00:32:51.329 you just don't have public pools. Nah. I can't 00:32:51.329 --> 00:32:54.509 do public pools anymore. Water parks. I can't 00:32:54.509 --> 00:32:57.430 do water parks anymore because of that. That 00:32:57.430 --> 00:33:01.710 and Cryptosporidia. That exists. What? Cryptosporidia. 00:33:02.569 --> 00:33:05.349 The fuck is that? The disease that you get from 00:33:05.349 --> 00:33:06.809 a water park because people don't know how to 00:33:06.809 --> 00:33:12.809 wipe their butt. I'll let you look that one up. 00:33:12.890 --> 00:33:16.029 It's fun. All right. Why do I feel like that's 00:33:16.029 --> 00:33:20.269 not fun? Oh, it's not. There's a water park in 00:33:20.269 --> 00:33:23.700 Columbus in central Ohio. Big water park. It 00:33:23.700 --> 00:33:25.920 used to get shut down like every other week for 00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:29.559 crypto outbreaks. So what I'm hearing is you 00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:31.299 go to a water park in Columbus and you end up 00:33:31.299 --> 00:33:34.500 on an episode of House. Basically, yeah. Okay. 00:33:35.019 --> 00:33:39.039 Yeah. Fair enough. The grass loophole, not the 00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:43.579 poophole. Explain the generally recognized as 00:33:43.579 --> 00:33:49.200 safe GRAS designation in the US that under this 00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:51.930 system. manufacturers can declare substances 00:33:51.930 --> 00:33:55.769 safe for use in food without mandatory FDA pre 00:33:55.769 --> 00:33:59.509 -market approval. Highlighting that this system 00:33:59.509 --> 00:34:03.289 relies heavily on industry information that the 00:34:03.289 --> 00:34:07.029 FDA has not reviewed the safety of the food additives. 00:34:07.829 --> 00:34:12.869 This is used as a loophole to get around FDA 00:34:12.869 --> 00:34:17.909 requirements. So they can pay people to do the 00:34:17.909 --> 00:34:22.300 studies just like, Marlboro paid doctors to say 00:34:22.300 --> 00:34:26.460 cigarettes are safe back in the 60s and 70s. 00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:31.280 Yeah. And they can use the grass loophole to 00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:34.239 say, yes, this is generally recognized as safe 00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:38.179 because we only did a limited study and we saw 00:34:38.179 --> 00:34:41.800 no degradation in health. Yeah. If you do it 00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:43.860 like, oh, yeah, we observed him for a week. We 00:34:43.860 --> 00:34:45.699 gave him one -tenth the dose and he seemed fine. 00:34:45.860 --> 00:34:48.559 So, like, it's safe. I mean, it's not a big deal. 00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:51.500 you know or they'll do it in relative to other 00:34:51.500 --> 00:34:53.199 things like oh yeah it's safe as what relative 00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:55.659 to what jumping off a 30 -story building like 00:34:55.659 --> 00:34:57.619 yeah it's safer than that so it's generally safe 00:34:57.619 --> 00:35:04.239 yeah using using uh legal loopholes when it comes 00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:08.920 to food safety probably not the best avenue just 00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:12.219 my just my two cents when we do the fda episode 00:35:12.219 --> 00:35:13.980 you guys are going to understand this is something 00:35:13.980 --> 00:35:16.480 i looked up a while ago tyson chicken spends 00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:19.900 more money on hiring lawyers to get around safety 00:35:19.900 --> 00:35:21.579 standards than they do on actually having safety 00:35:21.579 --> 00:35:25.519 standards. So, because I watched a documentary 00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:29.639 on that years ago. Yeah. I don't buy Tyson chicken 00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:33.539 for that reason specifically. You know, every 00:35:33.539 --> 00:35:36.139 day I get older, there's another day that I understand 00:35:36.139 --> 00:35:39.019 why people are into homesteading. Uh -huh. Like, 00:35:39.019 --> 00:35:48.469 I get it. Yeah. I really do. Yeah. So outside 00:35:48.469 --> 00:35:54.750 of using legal loopholes, lobbying power, I think 00:35:54.750 --> 00:35:57.670 lobbying should just go the fuck away. It should 00:35:57.670 --> 00:35:59.789 not exist. That is something that we actually 00:35:59.789 --> 00:36:02.829 covered on a previous episode. Yeah. I had a 00:36:02.829 --> 00:36:05.789 solution for that one. Did it involve a guillotine? 00:36:07.090 --> 00:36:11.670 Well, we can. That would be the final step on 00:36:11.670 --> 00:36:15.190 that one. So basically how it really should be 00:36:15.190 --> 00:36:16.730 with any of these companies is it just should 00:36:16.730 --> 00:36:18.989 be all be done on a public platform, a public 00:36:18.989 --> 00:36:22.070 website where any official inquiry or lobbying 00:36:22.070 --> 00:36:24.489 should be done. You know, obviously no funds 00:36:24.489 --> 00:36:26.809 can exchange or no quid pro quo. None of that. 00:36:27.010 --> 00:36:29.070 It should be the case of like, hey, I work for 00:36:29.070 --> 00:36:30.349 it. Let's just say let's pick on them again. 00:36:30.389 --> 00:36:33.090 I work for Tyson Chicken. And, you know, if you 00:36:33.090 --> 00:36:34.630 pass this law with this chemical, this is going 00:36:34.630 --> 00:36:36.150 to affect my business in this way. And this is 00:36:36.150 --> 00:36:38.369 what we have to do to get around it. Help me 00:36:38.369 --> 00:36:40.449 out. Maybe this maybe a different law would be 00:36:40.449 --> 00:36:42.349 better or vice versa. Cool. As long as it's all 00:36:42.349 --> 00:36:44.340 out in the public. I really don't think lobbying 00:36:44.340 --> 00:36:46.480 is bad. It's because it's done in secret with 00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:49.420 a quid pro quo of, hey, you get this law passed 00:36:49.420 --> 00:36:53.639 for me, and I'll give you a lake house. And they 00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:56.079 wonder somehow after these politicians can work 00:36:56.079 --> 00:36:58.119 in the office for 10 years and then be worth 00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:02.579 $200 million, that's why. Well, that and stock 00:37:02.579 --> 00:37:07.659 trading. Oh, yeah. I do like the Pelosi Act. 00:37:08.380 --> 00:37:11.039 Have you heard about that? Well, which I've heard 00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:13.880 of like three different kinds. The one where 00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:17.199 they gave it the acronym for the allowance of 00:37:17.199 --> 00:37:21.380 stock trading. It's actually the acronym is Pelosi 00:37:21.380 --> 00:37:28.360 because of the bullshit she did. Oh, yeah. Dumb 00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:33.739 bitch. Lack of transparency. Not wrong. You know 00:37:33.739 --> 00:37:36.500 what though? Correction. She's not dumb. No, 00:37:36.539 --> 00:37:38.340 she's not. She's incredibly smart. She's very 00:37:38.340 --> 00:37:40.639 smart. The problem is she's a hypocrite and she's 00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:44.119 an asshole. So that's the problem. She claims 00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:47.059 to be for the poor and anti -wealthy and against 00:37:47.059 --> 00:37:49.079 almost like a Bernie style, but yet she's literally 00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:52.519 part of the oligarchy. So, like, come on. You 00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:57.460 know. But anyways. A thought just went into my 00:37:57.460 --> 00:38:00.679 head. The creepy -ass new guy that's head of 00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:07.500 the European World Union with the one weird eye. 00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:09.920 I don't remember his name. oh are you talking 00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:14.579 about the wh no you're talking about um oh geez 00:38:14.579 --> 00:38:19.679 oh crap he looks creepy as fuck he looks like 00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:24.139 a bad guy out of the comic books yeah yeah it's 00:38:24.139 --> 00:38:28.400 yeah um it'll take me a minute to remember to 00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:31.760 remember who it is yeah uh he was saying that 00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:36.139 access to water is not a basic human right beyond 00:38:36.139 --> 00:38:40.949 like minimum needs Well, he and Dasani would 00:38:40.949 --> 00:38:45.230 agree. Yeah. He was saying that people should 00:38:45.230 --> 00:38:48.250 have enough to drink, to bathe, but not enough 00:38:48.250 --> 00:38:50.989 for a pool, not enough for car washes. But then 00:38:50.989 --> 00:38:53.409 when you look at his house, one of his houses, 00:38:53.590 --> 00:38:57.789 he's got like a couple of big pools. It's funny. 00:38:58.309 --> 00:39:00.489 Waterfall fountains and all this other stuff 00:39:00.489 --> 00:39:04.289 and outdoor showers. Any single politician or 00:39:04.289 --> 00:39:05.829 the person that wants to tell you how to regulate 00:39:05.829 --> 00:39:07.769 your life means they want more for themselves 00:39:07.769 --> 00:39:12.139 every single time. It is never, ever, ever for 00:39:12.139 --> 00:39:14.340 the sake of safety or environmental health every 00:39:14.340 --> 00:39:17.179 single time they lie. How do you know? Because 00:39:17.179 --> 00:39:19.280 you look at their stock portfolio, you look at 00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:20.699 their money, and every single time they just 00:39:20.699 --> 00:39:23.300 use fair monger to get more money. Look at someone 00:39:23.300 --> 00:39:27.300 like AOC, just saying. She said she was for the 00:39:27.300 --> 00:39:29.940 people, for nothing, does all this warmongering, 00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:32.179 and all of a sudden, hey, she's somehow worth 00:39:32.179 --> 00:39:34.719 a lot more. She's only been in office for a few 00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:38.949 years. And she did it without OnlyFans. You know, 00:39:38.969 --> 00:39:42.150 miraculously, I expected her to break that record. 00:39:43.429 --> 00:39:46.369 A lot of people hope for it, too. Lack of transparency, 00:39:46.690 --> 00:39:50.190 highlighting the issues with transparency and 00:39:50.190 --> 00:39:53.010 the interactions between the food industry of 00:39:53.010 --> 00:39:56.030 the lobbyists and the government officials. There 00:39:56.030 --> 00:39:58.170 have been a lot of reports that have talked about 00:39:58.170 --> 00:40:00.650 all the meetings, like you were just saying, 00:40:00.809 --> 00:40:05.849 that did not happen publicly. There are a lot 00:40:05.849 --> 00:40:10.489 of descriptions. vagueness that are left out 00:40:10.489 --> 00:40:14.329 that we never hear about deals that get made 00:40:14.329 --> 00:40:20.570 that we never are privy to laws and changes that 00:40:20.570 --> 00:40:25.590 get made that go off the books and then happen 00:40:25.590 --> 00:40:31.289 without us knowing all the time. We, we can't 00:40:31.289 --> 00:40:34.190 know if we don't know. I know it sounds stupid, 00:40:34.269 --> 00:40:40.369 but it's, it's such a, basic concept we have 00:40:40.369 --> 00:40:42.090 this weird problem in the u .s where they say 00:40:42.090 --> 00:40:45.230 ignorance is no excuse for the law but yet we're 00:40:45.230 --> 00:40:48.329 never notified or told when the laws of the law 00:40:48.329 --> 00:40:52.429 yeah it's our responsibility to be almost clairvoyant 00:40:52.429 --> 00:40:56.570 and be able to telepathically read our lawmakers 00:40:56.570 --> 00:40:59.219 minds and be like you know oh, tomorrow potassium 00:40:59.219 --> 00:41:01.539 bromate will be illegal. Like, how the fuck are 00:41:01.539 --> 00:41:04.460 we supposed to know this shit? Number one. And 00:41:04.460 --> 00:41:05.820 also number two, all this stuff is purposely 00:41:05.820 --> 00:41:07.360 done behind closed doors, so you'll never know. 00:41:07.900 --> 00:41:10.579 We'll never know. You'll never know. It's just, 00:41:10.699 --> 00:41:13.539 it's whatever. It's just, you know, it's this 00:41:13.539 --> 00:41:16.900 ethereal thing. Yeah. And who knows if the law 00:41:16.900 --> 00:41:18.079 is ever going to be enforced? That's another 00:41:18.079 --> 00:41:19.920 topic we've talked about several times on this, 00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:22.460 which is there are so many other laws here that 00:41:22.460 --> 00:41:24.260 they might be happening, but if they're enforced 00:41:24.260 --> 00:41:26.820 or not, does it really matter? Does it really? 00:41:28.010 --> 00:41:32.510 Oh, I wanted to go back and touch on something 00:41:32.510 --> 00:41:35.150 real quick. We were talking about all the chemicals 00:41:35.150 --> 00:41:39.690 that are used in food. That's totally not even 00:41:39.690 --> 00:41:41.949 mentioning the foods that are made entirely of 00:41:41.949 --> 00:41:45.349 chemicals. Like one of our favorite things, ramen 00:41:45.349 --> 00:41:49.750 noodles. If you've never watched how ramen noodles 00:41:49.750 --> 00:41:53.030 are made, I highly encourage you to watch that 00:41:53.030 --> 00:41:56.849 process. Those things are like 90 % chemicals. 00:41:58.099 --> 00:42:00.340 They're delicious, and I'll be the first to say 00:42:00.340 --> 00:42:05.619 it. But fucking hell, they are just hardened 00:42:05.619 --> 00:42:10.579 chemicals in a pouch with salty powdered goodness. 00:42:11.440 --> 00:42:15.380 Why do you think it's a dollar? Not even a dollar. 00:42:15.380 --> 00:42:17.219 Recent politicians, why do you think it's now 00:42:17.219 --> 00:42:20.460 a dollar? You should get that shit for 30 cents 00:42:20.460 --> 00:42:24.099 each or 50 cents. I remember, I'm dating myself, 00:42:24.300 --> 00:42:27.239 I remember back when it was 12 cents a bag. Fuck 00:42:27.239 --> 00:42:33.559 off. Oh, my God. Back in my day. Imagine having 00:42:33.559 --> 00:42:35.199 a week's worth of food for a couple of dollars. 00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:38.900 Jesus Christ. Yeah. The whole big box used to 00:42:38.900 --> 00:42:44.900 be $2. That's insane. That wasn't that long ago, 00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:48.920 really. Yeah. See, now those are buck each. Wow. 00:42:49.059 --> 00:42:51.380 At least around here. But you know what? Something 00:42:51.380 --> 00:42:52.920 to consider, too. If you want to talk about... 00:42:53.070 --> 00:42:55.230 shit that's in food. Have you ever seen the documentaries 00:42:55.230 --> 00:42:57.329 on how the McDonald's chicken nuggets are made? 00:42:59.150 --> 00:43:04.690 Unfortunately. Yeah. Again, I am a pro meat guy. 00:43:04.809 --> 00:43:07.250 I love eating meat. I will tell you right now, 00:43:07.329 --> 00:43:09.309 after I watch that, I can't watch it again or 00:43:09.309 --> 00:43:12.329 else I will feel too guilty. There are certain 00:43:12.329 --> 00:43:14.110 things that you just... And they add a bunch 00:43:14.110 --> 00:43:17.969 of chemicals and other shit in there. You know 00:43:17.969 --> 00:43:19.369 what the sad part is? In a week, I'll still go 00:43:19.369 --> 00:43:23.800 have some. I'll admit it. Since you brought up 00:43:23.800 --> 00:43:30.679 McDonald's, I have moved very far away from eating 00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:34.199 McDonald's in the past couple months. Mostly 00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:40.320 due, take it for what you will, the video that 00:43:40.320 --> 00:43:44.639 came out of the burger molding from McDonald's 00:43:44.639 --> 00:43:49.880 or Burger King and the one not molding from McDonald's. 00:43:53.289 --> 00:43:55.789 In the course of a month, and you can do this 00:43:55.789 --> 00:43:58.650 experiment for yourself if you want, go buy a 00:43:58.650 --> 00:44:01.050 cheap burger from Burger King and get one from 00:44:01.050 --> 00:44:05.590 McDonald's. Set them in the same covered dish, 00:44:05.670 --> 00:44:08.829 if you would like, and just leave them untouched 00:44:08.829 --> 00:44:12.530 for a month and watch what happens. The mold 00:44:12.530 --> 00:44:15.789 will not grow on the McDonald's burger under 00:44:15.789 --> 00:44:20.409 any circumstance. It will not grow. It will not 00:44:20.409 --> 00:44:24.159 shrink. It will not. Other than harden, it won't 00:44:24.159 --> 00:44:29.460 do anything. So I have moved away from eating 00:44:29.460 --> 00:44:34.500 at McDonald's. Burger King tastes just fine to 00:44:34.500 --> 00:44:37.639 me. It's actually kind of better, I'll be honest. 00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:41.119 At least the one around here. I'll be real with 00:44:41.119 --> 00:44:44.420 you. It's one of those things to where, realistically, 00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:48.139 I always recommend people. I wouldn't go out 00:44:48.139 --> 00:44:50.280 of my way to eat any fast food regardless, but 00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:53.739 I will admit. Quite a few of them you can you 00:44:53.739 --> 00:44:55.639 can taste the preservatives you can taste all 00:44:55.639 --> 00:44:57.980 the oil and all the shit in it It's ridiculous 00:44:57.980 --> 00:45:00.780 the levels that they go to for those preservatives 00:45:00.780 --> 00:45:04.559 And it's terrifying if even bacteria doesn't 00:45:04.559 --> 00:45:07.699 want to eat your shit like no Bacteria will eat 00:45:07.699 --> 00:45:11.500 almost anything and it even it says you know 00:45:11.500 --> 00:45:14.280 there's a problem if it turns up its nose at 00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:19.639 you I I don't know if it you haven't played fallout 00:45:19.639 --> 00:45:21.929 for the video game. Have you? No, I have not. 00:45:22.409 --> 00:45:24.449 So all I can think about is when you talk about 00:45:24.449 --> 00:45:28.710 that McDonald's burger not getting moldy. There 00:45:28.710 --> 00:45:30.510 are a couple of spots of Fallout 4. Mind you, 00:45:30.530 --> 00:45:32.030 this is hundreds of years in the future after 00:45:32.030 --> 00:45:34.510 nuclear war and everything. There's a couple 00:45:34.510 --> 00:45:37.809 of automated food dispensers you can go to. And 00:45:37.809 --> 00:45:40.730 you can get a perfectly preserved piece of pie 00:45:40.730 --> 00:45:43.590 from several hundred years ago. And it comes 00:45:43.590 --> 00:45:45.010 out and it's like a big event and everything 00:45:45.010 --> 00:45:46.750 because if you're a vault dweller, you've never 00:45:46.750 --> 00:45:48.690 had fresh food like that. You've never had something 00:45:48.690 --> 00:45:51.500 like that. And all I can think of is... that 00:45:51.500 --> 00:45:53.980 must be mcdonald's like all the apple fucking 00:45:53.980 --> 00:45:55.940 things or whatever like the little packages or 00:45:55.940 --> 00:45:59.380 whatever oh yeah because it's just there's no 00:45:59.380 --> 00:46:02.320 way but the sad part is it could theoretically 00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:06.599 yeah and hey listen those holiday pies from mcdonald's 00:46:06.599 --> 00:46:08.880 let me tell you something buddy those things 00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:13.880 fuck they are delicious i know i i am a fat kid 00:46:13.880 --> 00:46:18.440 and i can eat those things all day i i can't 00:46:18.440 --> 00:46:23.099 help myself with them I understand how terrible 00:46:23.099 --> 00:46:26.780 they are. I think it's a sad part of like in 00:46:26.780 --> 00:46:29.039 our foods because we eat so many chemicals, we're 00:46:29.039 --> 00:46:31.719 used to it. It's when you don't eat that stuff 00:46:31.719 --> 00:46:33.159 for a while and then you come back to it, you're 00:46:33.159 --> 00:46:35.719 like, oh, yeah, what the fuck am I eating? And 00:46:35.719 --> 00:46:37.260 that's part of the problem, I guess, with our 00:46:37.260 --> 00:46:38.900 food is once you get used to those chemicals 00:46:38.900 --> 00:46:41.980 and the amount of sugar and the salt, it's when 00:46:41.980 --> 00:46:43.420 you step away from it, everything else doesn't 00:46:43.420 --> 00:46:45.000 taste that good. But then once you kind of clean 00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:47.559 that palate and you come back to it, you realize, 00:46:47.679 --> 00:46:49.820 oh, this is this is actually fucking terrible. 00:46:50.639 --> 00:46:52.280 Yeah, and when you're doing a palate cleanse, 00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:54.820 you need seven to ten days for your taste buds 00:46:54.820 --> 00:47:00.739 to fully change out and adjust. Oh, yeah. So 00:47:00.739 --> 00:47:08.639 it's not a quick deal. No. But we can go into 00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:11.960 the part talking about the American foods that 00:47:11.960 --> 00:47:15.940 have been banned globally, if you would like. 00:47:16.639 --> 00:47:22.909 Why the fuck not? Yeah. So you have. There's 00:47:22.909 --> 00:47:25.070 quite a few different band ingredients and foods 00:47:25.070 --> 00:47:29.170 that are banned basically everywhere. Most of 00:47:29.170 --> 00:47:31.190 our breakfast cereals is through the BHA slash 00:47:31.190 --> 00:47:33.989 BHT and the artificial dyes. I was going to say 00:47:33.989 --> 00:47:39.730 Captain Crunch. That's that's a big one. In Canada, 00:47:39.789 --> 00:47:43.570 there's like one version. Yeah. And it's just 00:47:43.570 --> 00:47:46.170 like the regular Captain Crunch. I think the 00:47:46.170 --> 00:47:48.449 best one I saw was Cinnamon Toast Crunch is basically 00:47:48.449 --> 00:47:51.369 not available anywhere else because of just the 00:47:51.369 --> 00:47:52.869 amount of sugar, the amount of cinnamon, and 00:47:52.869 --> 00:47:55.670 other crap that's in it. That's sad. That's one 00:47:55.670 --> 00:47:58.250 of my favorite cereals, too. Oh, I am a cinnamon 00:47:58.250 --> 00:48:00.030 whore. I'll be honest with you. I fucking love 00:48:00.030 --> 00:48:03.409 cinnamon. I put it on a ton of stuff, but I'll 00:48:03.409 --> 00:48:07.030 be honest. I no longer buy it. I can't. Because 00:48:07.030 --> 00:48:09.769 it's too much sugar, too much fat, and too much 00:48:09.769 --> 00:48:13.079 shit. Um, but I just for the hell of it because 00:48:13.079 --> 00:48:14.940 I have friends from from europe and other countries 00:48:14.940 --> 00:48:17.420 and I chat with them Cinnamon toast crunch is 00:48:17.420 --> 00:48:20.239 like literally not a thing anywhere else if it's 00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:22.719 in other countries see I have had Um, well my 00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:24.559 girlfriend I went to like a like a world food 00:48:24.559 --> 00:48:29.300 store a while ago. I tried the cinnamon um Food 00:48:29.300 --> 00:48:32.880 like cinnamon, uh cereal type thing like a cinnamon 00:48:32.880 --> 00:48:35.320 snack type thing that was from japan And I was 00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:38.340 like, holy shit. Does this taste way better? 00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:41.420 And it had, like, six ingredients. And I couldn't 00:48:41.420 --> 00:48:43.539 believe it. Grant you, the box was, like, eight 00:48:43.539 --> 00:48:45.860 fucking dollars. Like, I wouldn't recommend going 00:48:45.860 --> 00:48:47.920 and getting it every day. The curiosity killed 00:48:47.920 --> 00:48:51.440 me. And I was like, holy Jesus. Why can't we 00:48:51.440 --> 00:48:54.699 have this here? And it's because of these fucking 00:48:54.699 --> 00:48:57.400 regulations of bullshit. Yeah. It's crazy. No 00:48:57.400 --> 00:48:59.699 chemicals in there. And it tastes better. Wow. 00:48:59.920 --> 00:49:04.179 It tasted great. Crazy, huh? I know. There's 00:49:04.179 --> 00:49:07.519 also snack cakes and pastries. Yeah. All of our 00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:10.429 little Debras. Yeah, those are all banned. The 00:49:10.429 --> 00:49:13.510 thing that kills me are the devil dogs. I fucking 00:49:13.510 --> 00:49:16.230 love those things. And I know they're terrible. 00:49:16.449 --> 00:49:19.030 I know all I'm just eating is just... Might as 00:49:19.030 --> 00:49:20.949 well just pour a box of fucking Drano down the 00:49:20.949 --> 00:49:24.610 gullet. Mine are Star Crunches. I've never heard 00:49:24.610 --> 00:49:28.110 of those. What the hell is a Star Crunch? Star 00:49:28.110 --> 00:49:31.429 Crunch from Little Debbie? I couldn't even tell 00:49:31.429 --> 00:49:36.329 you what that is. Chocolate, caramel, and crisped 00:49:36.329 --> 00:49:40.909 rice. Okay. And some nougat. Oh. Okay. Buddy, 00:49:40.929 --> 00:49:42.570 I'm going to have to send you a care package. 00:49:45.929 --> 00:49:47.650 I'm just scared what else would be in the package. 00:49:48.269 --> 00:49:51.730 Don't ask. I know from personal experience that 00:49:51.730 --> 00:49:56.010 sodas are very different, and ketchup too, over 00:49:56.010 --> 00:49:59.469 in the Middle East especially. When I was over 00:49:59.469 --> 00:50:03.389 in that area many years ago, the ketchup tasted 00:50:03.389 --> 00:50:07.579 very different, as did the sodas. Probably a 00:50:07.579 --> 00:50:09.780 lot less sugar and almost like a lot less salt. 00:50:10.300 --> 00:50:15.659 Yeah. Yeah. The ketchup tasted extremely different. 00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:17.460 Like it almost didn't have any vinegar. I want 00:50:17.460 --> 00:50:21.579 to say. Oh, like it was almost just like a tomato 00:50:21.579 --> 00:50:27.239 paste. Almost at least the kind that I had. So 00:50:27.239 --> 00:50:31.480 it was not good. I feel like for a long time. 00:50:32.639 --> 00:50:35.739 Yeah. I mean, it probably is better. Fun fact. 00:50:35.820 --> 00:50:39.650 Do you know why? Things like ketchup exist. And 00:50:39.650 --> 00:50:44.510 sauces for meat. I'm assuming to cover up the 00:50:44.510 --> 00:50:47.789 smell of either bad meat or meat and stuff like 00:50:47.789 --> 00:50:50.010 that. That's exactly why it was originally invented. 00:50:50.489 --> 00:50:54.269 To cover up the rancidity of meat. Yeah. There's 00:50:54.269 --> 00:50:59.849 your trivia for the day. So, yeah. Lots of stuff 00:50:59.849 --> 00:51:02.210 that we have here is banned in other countries. 00:51:02.449 --> 00:51:05.429 I'm curious if you sent a care package to somebody. 00:51:06.259 --> 00:51:10.239 If it would even make it through customs. I know 00:51:10.239 --> 00:51:12.300 it depends on the country. Depends on what's 00:51:12.300 --> 00:51:13.739 in it and what's disclosed and all that other 00:51:13.739 --> 00:51:16.880 stuff. There are some things I know that you 00:51:16.880 --> 00:51:19.019 can't cross the border with. Depending on where 00:51:19.019 --> 00:51:21.840 you're coming from. Yeah, like I know bananas 00:51:21.840 --> 00:51:24.340 are not allowed in, what is it, New Zealand? 00:51:25.079 --> 00:51:30.440 Because there are no fruit flies there. So that's 00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:32.539 a fun one. And different types of cheeses and 00:51:32.539 --> 00:51:35.219 other stuff like that. The one thing I do want 00:51:35.219 --> 00:51:39.079 to say. is sodas were on the list here. Now, 00:51:39.119 --> 00:51:40.599 one of the things I want to remind people of, 00:51:40.679 --> 00:51:42.800 I don't know if people are aware of this, but 00:51:42.800 --> 00:51:47.219 we used aspartame back in the 90s to 2000s for 00:51:47.219 --> 00:51:50.900 Diet Coke. We still do. Do you know, because 00:51:50.900 --> 00:51:53.820 I think you might have been around or been aware 00:51:53.820 --> 00:51:57.199 of this, what happens when aspartame is at above 00:51:57.199 --> 00:51:59.400 120 degrees over the course of multiple hours? 00:51:59.599 --> 00:52:04.739 Do you know what becomes? Formaldehyde. Correct. 00:52:05.579 --> 00:52:07.679 And they wonder why a bunch of our soldiers got 00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:10.400 very, very sick and had issues. It's because 00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:12.599 they spent not just weeks, not just months, but 00:52:12.599 --> 00:52:17.539 years drinking part formaldehyde. Yep. Which 00:52:17.539 --> 00:52:19.739 is great. That's awesome. I'm so glad we took 00:52:19.739 --> 00:52:22.219 care of our troops on that one. What the fuck? 00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:26.239 Yeah. Hey, man, the VA, it's a whole different 00:52:26.239 --> 00:52:29.920 chance for our vets to die for our country. Your 00:52:29.920 --> 00:52:31.719 formaldehyde poisoning is not service related. 00:52:32.199 --> 00:52:40.429 Nope, not at all. Oh, man. But there's just a 00:52:40.429 --> 00:52:42.469 lot of all of our processed food in America. 00:52:42.610 --> 00:52:45.809 Yeah. It's all just bad in other worlds. Yeah, 00:52:45.849 --> 00:52:49.650 and like I had mentioned in the opening, the 00:52:49.650 --> 00:52:54.429 American diet as a whole, over especially like 00:52:54.429 --> 00:52:58.030 the last 50 years, has moved away from things 00:52:58.030 --> 00:53:01.909 like whole, unprocessed foods, like that farm 00:53:01.909 --> 00:53:06.300 -to -table mentality. we now have an almost total 00:53:06.300 --> 00:53:09.739 reliance on processed and ultra -processed foods. 00:53:10.420 --> 00:53:13.420 I saw a thing, and if I can find the video, I'll 00:53:13.420 --> 00:53:17.400 link it in the Discord. They were showing the 00:53:17.400 --> 00:53:23.099 amount of ingredient -based food or type food 00:53:23.099 --> 00:53:25.739 that is purchased or that was purchased in the 00:53:25.739 --> 00:53:29.340 80s versus that same type that is purchased now. 00:53:30.300 --> 00:53:33.960 So it's your base ingredients that you would 00:53:33.960 --> 00:53:38.559 buy to make meals. And in the 80s, it consisted 00:53:38.559 --> 00:53:43.519 of at least 70 % of the groceries. Now it's about 00:53:43.519 --> 00:53:48.900 20. Yeah, I believe it. So that's pretty rough. 00:53:49.539 --> 00:53:51.099 You know what? I was thinking about this as we're 00:53:51.099 --> 00:53:53.260 doing the podcast, and I really feel like this 00:53:53.260 --> 00:53:55.719 is something with American culture that has been 00:53:55.719 --> 00:53:57.840 weird. Have you noticed that in American culture? 00:53:58.429 --> 00:54:00.789 everything that was considered average for common 00:54:00.789 --> 00:54:03.610 folk has become a privileged thing for wealthy 00:54:03.610 --> 00:54:05.750 people but yet all the things that were privileged 00:54:05.750 --> 00:54:07.210 for wealthy people are considered for the common 00:54:07.210 --> 00:54:09.630 folk now like for example things like lobster 00:54:09.630 --> 00:54:13.110 uh were were considered for poor people now it's 00:54:13.110 --> 00:54:16.809 a rich person's thing um and there's like a few 00:54:16.809 --> 00:54:18.230 other things that are escaping my mind but also 00:54:18.230 --> 00:54:19.829 vice versa you look at things like fast food 00:54:19.829 --> 00:54:22.349 and quick food it used to be like oh while you're 00:54:22.349 --> 00:54:24.030 going out to a restaurant or somewhere else that's 00:54:24.030 --> 00:54:26.039 for rich people we make our own food But now 00:54:26.039 --> 00:54:28.039 it's almost becoming 180 to where like to find 00:54:28.039 --> 00:54:31.719 farm to table shops and restaurants and things 00:54:31.719 --> 00:54:33.719 that get fresh food. It's like a rich person 00:54:33.719 --> 00:54:36.039 thing. Like when my girlfriend and I a couple 00:54:36.039 --> 00:54:38.219 months ago went to like a farm to table breakfast. 00:54:39.539 --> 00:54:42.320 Mind you. Wasn't cheap, was it? Do you want to 00:54:42.320 --> 00:54:44.300 take, mind you, no alcohol in this breakfast? 00:54:44.400 --> 00:54:46.139 Do you want to guess how much we spent on that 00:54:46.139 --> 00:54:53.340 with tip? What'd you get? I got chicken and waffles. 00:54:54.039 --> 00:54:56.599 And she got, I want to say it was like a typical 00:54:56.599 --> 00:55:02.099 like bacon, eggs, toast or something like that. 00:55:02.199 --> 00:55:05.059 And we each got like orange juice, milk, something 00:55:05.059 --> 00:55:09.260 like that. In your area? Yeah. I'll say with 00:55:09.260 --> 00:55:17.360 tip, I'll say 60 bucks. 80. And that was, mind 00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:19.179 you, I live in an expensive area, but it's not 00:55:19.179 --> 00:55:22.380 like super expensive. So that's why we haven't 00:55:22.380 --> 00:55:24.900 gone back. um but it was one of those things 00:55:24.900 --> 00:55:27.679 to where it's become this weird phenomenon america 00:55:27.679 --> 00:55:31.099 where you have to be wealthy or at least have 00:55:31.099 --> 00:55:33.639 your finances in order to be able to afford to 00:55:33.639 --> 00:55:36.079 get farm to table stuff on the regular at least 00:55:36.079 --> 00:55:37.800 maybe where i live maybe where you live it's 00:55:37.800 --> 00:55:40.059 a little cheaper and you could do it more often 00:55:40.059 --> 00:55:44.019 but finding farm to table you know restaurants 00:55:44.019 --> 00:55:47.460 and even just markets around here it's kind of 00:55:47.460 --> 00:55:51.409 bananas and they charge an extreme amount So 00:55:51.409 --> 00:55:54.510 it's becoming a rich hobby to become a homesteader. 00:55:55.309 --> 00:56:03.050 There's a market over by my friend. I won't say 00:56:03.050 --> 00:56:05.909 their name on here. You know them. You met them 00:56:05.909 --> 00:56:12.550 when you were here. There's a market over by 00:56:12.550 --> 00:56:17.829 her place. Let me pull them up right now. They 00:56:17.829 --> 00:56:25.579 specialize in selling. locally raised, um, farm, 00:56:25.880 --> 00:56:31.699 uh, produce essentially. Uh, but like they're, 00:56:31.699 --> 00:56:34.880 they're beef. Let me look at the beef real quick. 00:56:34.920 --> 00:56:43.639 Cause this is so, okay. Um, New York strip, they're 00:56:43.639 --> 00:56:49.440 selling it for 1799 a pound. Damn. Um, Porter 00:56:49.440 --> 00:56:54.179 houses, the same. Ground chuck, $5 .99 a pound. 00:56:56.139 --> 00:57:02.019 Ground round, $6 .99 a pound. T -bones, $17 .99. 00:57:02.739 --> 00:57:09.059 Sirloin, $10 a pound. They do sausage in bulk, 00:57:09.219 --> 00:57:20.599 $2 .99 a pound. They also do... Boneless or is 00:57:20.599 --> 00:57:23.639 that bone in? That's boneless. Boneless chicken 00:57:23.639 --> 00:57:26.840 breast, $3 .29 a pound. So, I mean, that's all 00:57:26.840 --> 00:57:30.460 locally raised. They also have locally made cheeses. 00:57:30.559 --> 00:57:35.699 They have eggs. And they're reasonably priced. 00:57:36.000 --> 00:57:40.639 They do not have $7 a dozen eggs right now. Their 00:57:40.639 --> 00:57:46.800 eggs are like $3 a dozen. So. That's better than 00:57:46.800 --> 00:57:49.530 some places. That's a lot better than a lot of 00:57:49.530 --> 00:57:51.989 places. I'm going to send you just on discord 00:57:51.989 --> 00:57:54.349 while we're on here. So to give you an idea of 00:57:54.349 --> 00:57:56.130 the prices in my area, I'm going to send you, 00:57:56.150 --> 00:57:58.869 this is, this is the prominent butchery or butcher 00:57:58.869 --> 00:58:01.829 shop. That's in my area. I'm just sending you 00:58:01.829 --> 00:58:03.349 to their shop thing. I want to get your live 00:58:03.349 --> 00:58:06.849 reaction on here. Okay. You look at their prices 00:58:06.849 --> 00:58:09.190 and you might happen to know the prices in your 00:58:09.190 --> 00:58:12.710 area. And I'm curious to see how you would react 00:58:12.710 --> 00:58:16.929 to some of their prices because yo, yeah. Oh, 00:58:16.949 --> 00:58:18.750 yeah, I'm seeing your face right now. So for 00:58:18.750 --> 00:58:22.429 the people that are watching, his jaw basically 00:58:22.429 --> 00:58:27.389 just hit the floor. So to give people an example, 00:58:27.550 --> 00:58:30.969 I'm not going to name the business because, to 00:58:30.969 --> 00:58:34.489 be fair, in my area, they have very good quality 00:58:34.489 --> 00:58:39.329 meat. However, to get three pounds of sirloin 00:58:39.329 --> 00:58:41.210 tips, three pounds of center cut pork chops, 00:58:41.449 --> 00:58:44.329 five pounds of ground beef, and two whole chickens, 00:58:44.550 --> 00:58:51.679 it's $100. Good God. And that's something to 00:58:51.679 --> 00:58:55.099 where, realistically, if you have a family of, 00:58:55.119 --> 00:58:56.880 what, three, they'll probably last, it's what, 00:58:56.920 --> 00:58:59.300 maybe a week's worth? Maybe two weeks? A week 00:58:59.300 --> 00:59:05.699 to two? Okay, let me pull these guys up. Do you 00:59:05.699 --> 00:59:07.820 have their menu up? Yeah, the one that I sent 00:59:07.820 --> 00:59:12.000 you, yep. Yeah, okay. So how many of what? So 00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:15.599 three pounds of sirloin tips. Three pounds of... 00:59:17.380 --> 00:59:21.079 Sirloin tips. Well, they don't have sirloin tips 00:59:21.079 --> 00:59:28.599 listed here. They probably have them. Would it 00:59:28.599 --> 00:59:32.480 be under anything else? Maybe I'll find an easier 00:59:32.480 --> 00:59:36.219 one for you to look up here. Okay. Okay. So I 00:59:36.219 --> 00:59:38.099 have a better list here. This might be easier. 00:59:38.360 --> 00:59:42.360 Three pounds of center cut pork chops. Or just 00:59:42.360 --> 00:59:45.380 three pounds of pork chops. Pork chops. All right. 00:59:45.860 --> 00:59:49.920 Let me get the old, as a friend of mine used 00:59:49.920 --> 00:59:53.239 to call it, the crank -a -later. Sounds like 00:59:53.239 --> 00:59:55.019 something you'd do in private. Jesus. Right. 00:59:55.679 --> 01:00:01.159 Okay, pork chops. Boneless? Center cuts, yeah. 01:00:01.219 --> 01:00:03.059 I believe they'd be boneless. Yeah, boneless. 01:00:03.179 --> 01:00:07.380 How many pounds? Three. Okay. Three pounds of 01:00:07.380 --> 01:00:13.199 ground beef. Three pounds of ground. So, okay. 01:00:14.269 --> 01:00:18.769 One pound of bacon. Bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon. 01:00:18.969 --> 01:00:25.010 Bacon, bacon, bacon. Bacon right there. Two pounds 01:00:25.010 --> 01:00:30.869 of Italian sausage. Italian. Two whole chickens. 01:00:32.630 --> 01:00:34.250 Realistically, that's probably four pounds of 01:00:34.250 --> 01:00:37.369 chicken. Whole chickens. He's got them right 01:00:37.369 --> 01:00:41.329 here. Oh, cool. And then two pounds of shaved 01:00:41.329 --> 01:01:00.570 steak. Shaved steak. Yes. I will go with probably 01:01:00.570 --> 01:01:03.170 like round steak would probably be the closest 01:01:03.170 --> 01:01:06.110 thing. Yeah. So how much does that come out to 01:01:06.110 --> 01:01:13.489 you for you? $71 .18. $90. And there's no food 01:01:13.489 --> 01:01:16.469 tax here. So it's $71 .18. We have a food tax 01:01:16.469 --> 01:01:19.389 here. So this would be closer to $100. Yeah, 01:01:19.389 --> 01:01:24.429 that's $71. Yeah. But anyways, the point I wanted 01:01:24.429 --> 01:01:27.090 to make with this is in America, in order to 01:01:27.090 --> 01:01:30.929 try and eat healthy, it's rather difficult, actually. 01:01:31.449 --> 01:01:34.570 We have several local markets around here that 01:01:34.570 --> 01:01:36.869 they're not great, but they have some stuff, 01:01:36.909 --> 01:01:39.250 but they're all very expensive. Getting homemade 01:01:39.250 --> 01:01:43.449 cheese is damn near impossible around here. To 01:01:43.449 --> 01:01:46.949 further that point, what I wanted to bring up... 01:01:47.900 --> 01:01:51.139 Because of the scarcity difficulty of getting 01:01:51.139 --> 01:01:54.719 healthy food or healthy food alternatives. Is 01:01:54.719 --> 01:01:57.619 the rising chronic diseases in this country. 01:01:58.659 --> 01:02:02.019 And it's one of those things to where do we blame 01:02:02.019 --> 01:02:04.099 people for what they eat in a lot of ways? Yeah. 01:02:04.719 --> 01:02:07.199 However, there has to be a bit of understanding 01:02:07.199 --> 01:02:10.000 here where. For a lot of people, it's actually 01:02:10.000 --> 01:02:13.619 difficult to find healthy alternatives for stuff. 01:02:14.840 --> 01:02:17.369 Especially if you grow up. with the American 01:02:17.369 --> 01:02:20.530 food system. And I will say this. Thanks, Michelle 01:02:20.530 --> 01:02:24.090 Obama, for completely fucking over the high school. 01:02:24.090 --> 01:02:28.670 I mean, Michael Obama. I'm not going there. Not 01:02:28.670 --> 01:02:33.769 even going there. But... Now you just derailed 01:02:33.769 --> 01:02:36.010 my whole time. No, no, don't you dare. No, no, 01:02:36.530 --> 01:02:39.230 no, no, no, no, no. FBI, I like my life. I'm 01:02:39.230 --> 01:02:41.449 good. I don't want to get whacked. I'm good. 01:02:41.550 --> 01:02:44.070 I'm good. I have nothing against the Clintons 01:02:44.070 --> 01:02:48.449 or anyone else. I'm not getting involved. But 01:02:48.449 --> 01:02:53.489 what I was getting at is, unfortunately, there's 01:02:53.489 --> 01:02:56.710 not much access in many cases for people to have 01:02:56.710 --> 01:03:00.429 healthy alternatives to food. Yeah. It's not 01:03:00.429 --> 01:03:03.610 so much as what they eat. It's what they're able 01:03:03.610 --> 01:03:07.309 to eat. And the other problem is with a lot of 01:03:07.309 --> 01:03:08.889 these foods, they're designed to keep you hungry. 01:03:09.769 --> 01:03:11.389 They're not designed to be satiated. They're 01:03:11.389 --> 01:03:13.050 not designed to give you that protein take. They're 01:03:13.050 --> 01:03:16.949 not designed to be filling. The issue is, A lot 01:03:16.949 --> 01:03:19.969 of kids eat very calorically dense and empty 01:03:19.969 --> 01:03:23.130 things. And even people, too, as well. But once 01:03:23.130 --> 01:03:27.409 you're on to eating that way nutritionally, it 01:03:27.409 --> 01:03:33.010 almost never ends. Let me butt in here. Oatmeal. 01:03:34.250 --> 01:03:37.750 Oatmeal is one of the worst things that you can 01:03:37.750 --> 01:03:41.349 eat, especially as a breakfast thing. Yeah. Because 01:03:41.349 --> 01:03:44.550 it spikes your insulin and can put you at your 01:03:44.550 --> 01:03:48.460 body. Into a chemically induced fight or flight 01:03:48.460 --> 01:03:54.400 mode. There has been a study. Yes, oatmeal to 01:03:54.400 --> 01:03:57.179 buddy. There has been a study that was done. 01:03:57.360 --> 01:04:03.820 They gave kids a heavy protein like omelet for 01:04:03.820 --> 01:04:08.920 breakfast. They gave another group oatmeal and 01:04:08.920 --> 01:04:13.199 they gave another group just like whatever. They 01:04:13.199 --> 01:04:17.030 checked blood levels. And they allowed them to 01:04:17.030 --> 01:04:19.289 eat as much as they wanted as often as they wanted. 01:04:20.489 --> 01:04:24.730 The oatmeal group constantly had to eat. They 01:04:24.730 --> 01:04:26.170 were not getting filled. They weren't getting 01:04:26.170 --> 01:04:32.590 sustained. The omelet group, they almost never 01:04:32.590 --> 01:04:36.929 asked for more. So they were full. They were 01:04:36.929 --> 01:04:40.190 sustained. They were being held over. Blood levels 01:04:40.190 --> 01:04:44.190 were low. They had no cortisol, I think it is. 01:04:44.559 --> 01:04:47.500 Low cortisol, yeah. Yeah, they were much better 01:04:47.500 --> 01:04:52.860 off physiologically. So high protein, higher 01:04:52.860 --> 01:04:58.199 good cholesterol, HDL I think it is. Those are 01:04:58.199 --> 01:05:00.019 the types of meals you want to gravitate towards. 01:05:01.159 --> 01:05:05.420 Things like oatmeal, bad juju. It's one of those 01:05:05.420 --> 01:05:08.559 things, what I will tell people in my experience 01:05:08.559 --> 01:05:12.179 with that, oatmeal as in the Quakers, the stuff 01:05:12.179 --> 01:05:14.679 over the counter, the quick, easy stuff, You 01:05:14.679 --> 01:05:17.039 can get protein oatmeal, which is completely 01:05:17.039 --> 01:05:19.000 different. It behaves like oatmeal, but it's 01:05:19.000 --> 01:05:21.599 actually not oatmeal. That stuff is half decent. 01:05:22.380 --> 01:05:25.360 But really, anytime you start your day, you got 01:05:25.360 --> 01:05:28.920 to start with some proteins, your fats, your 01:05:28.920 --> 01:05:31.739 carbs, you know, in your protein. You have to. 01:05:32.199 --> 01:05:34.219 If you don't, you're going to be craving. You're 01:05:34.219 --> 01:05:35.420 not going to be. Well, unless you're doing a 01:05:35.420 --> 01:05:37.860 carnivore diet. Well, that's that's totally different. 01:05:37.940 --> 01:05:40.280 That's a specialized. You know, if you're on 01:05:40.280 --> 01:05:43.039 a carnivore diet, all the power to you. That's 01:05:43.039 --> 01:05:45.199 something I'm kind of considering doing. It's 01:05:45.199 --> 01:05:46.760 the problem is you got to really commit to it. 01:05:47.219 --> 01:05:50.840 Yeah. And it's not easy, but no, that being said, 01:05:50.920 --> 01:05:53.940 it's not for everybody, but for some people definitely 01:05:53.940 --> 01:05:58.519 could work. But just, just be careful and be 01:05:58.519 --> 01:06:01.619 aware of what you're eating. Cause give you an 01:06:01.619 --> 01:06:04.119 idea with my experience. So when, when my girlfriend 01:06:04.119 --> 01:06:06.420 is home, she usually likes to cook breakfast 01:06:06.420 --> 01:06:09.320 when she's not around. I'll be honest. I'm the 01:06:09.320 --> 01:06:11.199 world's worst morning person. I fucking hate 01:06:11.199 --> 01:06:14.840 waking up. So I just grab whatever and go and 01:06:14.840 --> 01:06:16.860 I just kind of deal with my day or I'll end up 01:06:16.860 --> 01:06:20.539 just sitting there and be like, oh, great. I 01:06:20.539 --> 01:06:27.300 can't blur. Well, just grab one of these and 01:06:27.300 --> 01:06:29.219 like a protein bar and out the door and it's 01:06:29.219 --> 01:06:31.460 fine. It's at least locale. But when she's home 01:06:31.460 --> 01:06:33.059 and she makes something like you sit like an 01:06:33.059 --> 01:06:35.699 omelet is a big thing with us because I have 01:06:35.699 --> 01:06:38.050 chickens. We have fresh eggs. Or something else 01:06:38.050 --> 01:06:41.090 that's protein based. My day is so much fucking 01:06:41.090 --> 01:06:43.429 better. Like I'm starting off on the right foot, 01:06:43.510 --> 01:06:46.090 getting going. I feel better. It's one of those 01:06:46.090 --> 01:06:48.230 weird things where as in America, because everything's 01:06:48.230 --> 01:06:50.590 such a rush, we don't take the time to make food 01:06:50.590 --> 01:06:53.710 in a proper fashion. And really because everything's 01:06:53.710 --> 01:06:55.550 always on the go. Businesses usually don't give 01:06:55.550 --> 01:06:56.829 you enough time to get a proper lunch. You have 01:06:56.829 --> 01:06:59.510 to grab something quick or do whatever. There's 01:06:59.510 --> 01:07:00.989 a reason why in other countries, why they take 01:07:00.989 --> 01:07:03.889 one or two hours for lunch. It's short. Yes, 01:07:04.030 --> 01:07:05.789 I can make fun of the French and they're lazy 01:07:05.789 --> 01:07:09.769 and they're whatever. I get it. But at the same 01:07:09.769 --> 01:07:11.809 point, I got to give them the credit. They give 01:07:11.809 --> 01:07:14.989 a two -hour lunch so they can go home and fucking 01:07:14.989 --> 01:07:17.110 make food and take a quick nap and do whatever 01:07:17.110 --> 01:07:19.369 and then come back and work. And you know what? 01:07:19.630 --> 01:07:22.550 I get it. I don't necessarily know it, but I 01:07:22.550 --> 01:07:26.289 get it. They also have it right with their time 01:07:26.289 --> 01:07:30.949 off policies. I'll give them that. And vacation 01:07:30.949 --> 01:07:33.429 and stuff. Oh, yeah. It's almost like if you 01:07:33.429 --> 01:07:35.190 treat your employees well, they work better. 01:07:36.190 --> 01:07:40.170 Exactly. It's a weird concept. Imagine the shock. 01:07:41.289 --> 01:07:46.610 Happy employees make good products. Who would 01:07:46.610 --> 01:07:48.869 have thought? Apparently nobody in this country. 01:07:49.789 --> 01:07:54.650 But getting back to the point, over 70 % of U 01:07:54.650 --> 01:07:57.989 .S. adults are overweight or obese. Present. 01:08:00.629 --> 01:08:02.250 We're weighing that graph down with gravity, 01:08:02.389 --> 01:08:06.949 let me tell you. But the problem becomes when 01:08:06.949 --> 01:08:10.190 the number reaches that high, yes, I would say 01:08:10.190 --> 01:08:11.750 a majority of those people that are overweight 01:08:11.750 --> 01:08:15.469 or obese, it's due to the culture, which I agree 01:08:15.469 --> 01:08:19.170 with. But at the same point, it must have to 01:08:19.170 --> 01:08:21.149 do with our system as well, with what we're allowed 01:08:21.149 --> 01:08:23.289 to eat. Because when everything is so saturated, 01:08:23.590 --> 01:08:26.810 you can't get away from unhealthy food. It's 01:08:26.810 --> 01:08:30.659 almost impossible. Uh, that reminds me, there 01:08:30.659 --> 01:08:34.000 was a study done not long ago. The food that 01:08:34.000 --> 01:08:38.779 we eat today is so calorically deficient compared 01:08:38.779 --> 01:08:43.239 to the food that we had 50 years ago. Uh, like 01:08:43.239 --> 01:08:46.579 our fruits and vegetables, uh, retain something 01:08:46.579 --> 01:08:52.760 like 30 to 40 % of the nutrition. Uh, not, not 01:08:52.760 --> 01:08:56.079 calorically dense, nutritionally deficient is 01:08:56.079 --> 01:09:00.359 what I meant to say. Yeah, our food is less nutritious 01:09:00.359 --> 01:09:04.560 today than it was 40, 50 years ago. Now, do you 01:09:04.560 --> 01:09:09.100 know why? The way it's been processed and grown 01:09:09.100 --> 01:09:14.239 and... Not just that. Words. It's also the fact 01:09:14.239 --> 01:09:17.000 that we do not, as a country, do well enough 01:09:17.000 --> 01:09:20.100 in terms of fertilizing and basically adding 01:09:20.100 --> 01:09:22.579 nutrition back into the soil. One of the problems 01:09:22.579 --> 01:09:24.539 is with any single plant, any single fruit, vegetable, 01:09:24.539 --> 01:09:26.500 anything, it pulls everything from the soil. 01:09:27.050 --> 01:09:29.350 Well, would you every single year deplete what's 01:09:29.350 --> 01:09:31.770 in that soil and do not replant it, redo whatever 01:09:31.770 --> 01:09:35.750 you're trying to just grow in bulk on mass? You're 01:09:35.750 --> 01:09:37.130 not worried about the quality of it. At your 01:09:37.130 --> 01:09:39.590 point, a potato is a potato. You don't give a 01:09:39.590 --> 01:09:41.550 shit how good it is. Not because you're paid 01:09:41.550 --> 01:09:42.949 by the pound. You're not paid by the quality, 01:09:43.029 --> 01:09:45.069 at least for the most part, which I know. Yes, 01:09:45.090 --> 01:09:46.649 I'm where this quality standards and other stuff, 01:09:46.689 --> 01:09:50.569 but generalizing. So for most of these big companies, 01:09:50.670 --> 01:09:53.050 they don't care. So what if the tomato they grow 01:09:53.050 --> 01:09:55.529 is half as nutritionally dense? They just want 01:09:55.529 --> 01:09:57.829 to be a bigger tomato. That's all they really 01:09:57.829 --> 01:09:59.210 care about. A lot of them care about the size 01:09:59.210 --> 01:10:01.250 of the product. So they get more per dollar, 01:10:01.369 --> 01:10:04.949 more per weight or per volume. And that is a 01:10:04.949 --> 01:10:08.630 big issue. I noticed this because so growing 01:10:08.630 --> 01:10:11.670 up on this property here, we had horses and we 01:10:11.670 --> 01:10:13.529 used to use the manure to grow cherry tomatoes. 01:10:14.470 --> 01:10:16.090 And I will tell you, I'm not somebody that even 01:10:16.090 --> 01:10:18.590 likes tomatoes that much, but the cherry tomatoes 01:10:18.590 --> 01:10:21.180 we could grow here. They were sweet. They were 01:10:21.180 --> 01:10:23.359 almost like candy. But they were natural. Really? 01:10:23.479 --> 01:10:26.239 Oh, yeah. They were smaller like cherry tomatoes. 01:10:26.600 --> 01:10:29.640 They're basically native to the area. Well, yeah. 01:10:29.720 --> 01:10:32.020 I mean, I grew cherry tomatoes in my old place, 01:10:32.119 --> 01:10:35.380 but I can't stand tomatoes. I like pretty much 01:10:35.380 --> 01:10:37.460 everything tomato -based, but I can't stand tomatoes. 01:10:37.840 --> 01:10:40.260 Same. They were the only tomatoes that my grandfather 01:10:40.260 --> 01:10:44.220 grew them. But it's because they were 100 % natural 01:10:44.220 --> 01:10:47.000 from the area. No GMO, no nothing. He had the 01:10:47.000 --> 01:10:50.199 seeds since like the 70s. And oh, wow. You just 01:10:50.199 --> 01:10:52.819 grow them every year. Same thing. I'm so mad 01:10:52.819 --> 01:10:55.220 at him. I can't find whatever type of carrot 01:10:55.220 --> 01:10:57.380 he grew as he used to grow carrots like this 01:10:57.380 --> 01:11:00.800 long. And they were they were super juicy, though. 01:11:01.279 --> 01:11:04.939 Like, so I this is a little fun story. I went 01:11:04.939 --> 01:11:06.359 camping with a bunch of friends and I brought 01:11:06.359 --> 01:11:08.899 with me as a snack because I'm a fucking weirdo. 01:11:08.939 --> 01:11:12.060 I had a five gallon bucket of all of all the 01:11:12.060 --> 01:11:14.119 carrots that we just grew because I wanted to 01:11:14.119 --> 01:11:16.720 munch on them. Well, we had about a five hour 01:11:16.720 --> 01:11:19.109 drive. over to the other side of my state to 01:11:19.109 --> 01:11:23.090 go camping. I was so busy having fun, chat with 01:11:23.090 --> 01:11:25.590 my friends, doing stuff, I ate about half the 01:11:25.590 --> 01:11:29.789 bucket worth of carrots. Let me tell you, the 01:11:29.789 --> 01:11:32.109 sheer panic on my face when my piss was bright 01:11:32.109 --> 01:11:37.090 orange. Thinking, mind you, I'm out in the woods, 01:11:37.310 --> 01:11:40.189 we are away from civilization, we are like out 01:11:40.189 --> 01:11:43.350 there in the mountains. And I was peeing in the 01:11:43.350 --> 01:11:45.960 background of the carrier going, am i gonna die 01:11:45.960 --> 01:11:50.619 as it's just bright orange so lesson learned 01:11:50.619 --> 01:11:52.739 if you if you if you drink too much i said drink 01:11:52.739 --> 01:11:55.140 too much yes james drink no if you eat too many 01:11:55.140 --> 01:11:58.340 carrots your piss can be orange um right but 01:11:58.340 --> 01:12:01.520 those carrots are so fucking good it was uh fun 01:12:01.520 --> 01:12:05.359 fact if you drink a bunch of red food dye and 01:12:05.359 --> 01:12:08.340 then go pee it'll be red you can use that as 01:12:08.340 --> 01:12:11.359 a prank just uh fyi a prank or a good way to 01:12:11.359 --> 01:12:15.539 go home from work Both. Jesus Christ. I want 01:12:15.539 --> 01:12:17.260 to do that and then go into like a public restroom 01:12:17.260 --> 01:12:19.979 at a Walmart and just scream bloody murder and 01:12:19.979 --> 01:12:24.020 just pee everywhere. That's a weird kink. I haven't 01:12:24.020 --> 01:12:28.199 heard of that one before. Jesus Christ. Oh my 01:12:28.199 --> 01:12:33.359 God. I don't like that. I'm going to start calling 01:12:33.359 --> 01:12:37.340 you the piss master. I am not piss master. Thank 01:12:37.340 --> 01:12:42.699 you very much. He's weird. But anyways, in America, 01:12:42.779 --> 01:12:44.579 we have a big problem with type 2 diabetes or 01:12:44.579 --> 01:12:46.859 even diabetes in general. That's just due to 01:12:46.859 --> 01:12:49.479 the over -processed sugar that we see. So much 01:12:49.479 --> 01:12:52.140 sugar in everything. Cardiovascular disease, 01:12:52.399 --> 01:12:54.399 that's huge. Your heart attacks, strokes, high 01:12:54.399 --> 01:12:57.500 blood pressure. Just due to all of the calorically 01:12:57.500 --> 01:13:00.199 dense foods just clotting up our cardiovascular 01:13:00.199 --> 01:13:04.199 system. A lot of cancers, metabolic syndromes. 01:13:04.899 --> 01:13:07.300 Fatty liver disease, that's something that's 01:13:07.300 --> 01:13:10.520 really, really... That's getting real bad. Yeah, 01:13:10.560 --> 01:13:12.560 because our livers are working. Non -alcoholic 01:13:12.560 --> 01:13:15.239 fatty liver. Yeah, because our livers are working 01:13:15.239 --> 01:13:16.880 overtime to try to figure out how to process 01:13:16.880 --> 01:13:18.319 all this stuff. What people need to realize is 01:13:18.319 --> 01:13:20.939 your entire body goes into almost part of the 01:13:20.939 --> 01:13:23.319 process of digesting your food. Everything has 01:13:23.319 --> 01:13:27.020 to pull from it. So the problem is if you got 01:13:27.020 --> 01:13:28.779 parts of your body having to work double or triple 01:13:28.779 --> 01:13:31.079 overtime just to try to fucking figure out all 01:13:31.079 --> 01:13:32.939 those random chemicals and shit, it's got to 01:13:32.939 --> 01:13:34.979 go somewhere. Not everything goes out in your 01:13:34.979 --> 01:13:37.060 stool and your urine. Some of it is retained, 01:13:37.399 --> 01:13:42.119 which is a problem. Yeah. You know, which that's 01:13:42.119 --> 01:13:47.880 a fun thing. When some people start losing weight, 01:13:48.039 --> 01:13:51.140 they get really sick. And it's because stuff 01:13:51.140 --> 01:13:53.180 that's been held over in the fat cells starts 01:13:53.180 --> 01:13:55.939 to break down. Their body doesn't know how to 01:13:55.939 --> 01:14:00.260 deal with it. It's like when a bunch of druggies 01:14:00.260 --> 01:14:05.060 start to lose weight, they get high again. What? 01:14:05.659 --> 01:14:10.640 That could happen. I never do that. Yeah. Some 01:14:10.640 --> 01:14:12.960 drugs are fat soluble and they get stored in 01:14:12.960 --> 01:14:15.560 fat. What? And if they lose a bunch of weight, 01:14:15.739 --> 01:14:19.479 they can get really messed up. Which ones? I 01:14:19.479 --> 01:14:21.880 have no idea. I don't remember which ones off 01:14:21.880 --> 01:14:24.960 the top of my head. But there are a couple of 01:14:24.960 --> 01:14:26.979 them. That must be crazy. That it will store 01:14:26.979 --> 01:14:29.439 in fat. And then if you lose weight, you can 01:14:29.439 --> 01:14:33.979 get high just from losing weight. Jesus. So. 01:14:34.100 --> 01:14:36.819 Imagine that euphoric runner's high. It's the 01:14:36.819 --> 01:14:39.260 normal run. Then all of a sudden the LSD kicks 01:14:39.260 --> 01:14:41.739 in again. And then you're really running from 01:14:41.739 --> 01:14:44.420 the inner demons of the dragons and stuff like 01:14:44.420 --> 01:14:46.399 that. The inner demons have become outer demons. 01:14:48.859 --> 01:14:51.199 Oh my God. That'd be a great way to lose weight 01:14:51.199 --> 01:14:54.140 though. Imagine that. Every five pounds you lose, 01:14:54.180 --> 01:14:55.520 you have a bad trip that makes you run another 01:14:55.520 --> 01:14:58.500 five or 10 miles. It's like a self -fulfilling 01:14:58.500 --> 01:15:01.399 prophecy. Oh man. That'd be one way of doing 01:15:01.399 --> 01:15:04.649 it. And there is another note here about potential 01:15:04.649 --> 01:15:06.590 links to neurological conditions and mental health 01:15:06.590 --> 01:15:10.229 disorders. I would say that that is probably 01:15:10.229 --> 01:15:12.449 a bigger thing than even we understand as of 01:15:12.449 --> 01:15:17.050 today. Anxiety and depression. I would say probably 01:15:17.050 --> 01:15:19.289 anxiety almost even a little bit more when it 01:15:19.289 --> 01:15:25.289 comes to. So anxiety, depression. I'll even go 01:15:25.289 --> 01:15:28.210 down the slippery slope and say a lot of the 01:15:28.210 --> 01:15:31.399 potential gender issues. that are being linked 01:15:31.399 --> 01:15:37.680 to mental health issues, autism and the rates 01:15:37.680 --> 01:15:40.939 of diagnosis of it could be linked. I'm saying 01:15:40.939 --> 01:15:45.279 could be linked to the chemicals and the trickle 01:15:45.279 --> 01:15:48.659 down effect of all the stuff that's in our food. 01:15:48.720 --> 01:15:52.000 Because at the end of the day, we do not know 01:15:52.000 --> 01:15:54.640 what's going into our bodies, altering stuff 01:15:54.640 --> 01:15:57.220 in our bodies and being passed on. especially 01:15:57.220 --> 01:15:58.760 you don't know how they're interacting with previous 01:15:58.760 --> 01:16:01.239 medications anything else that's going on if 01:16:01.239 --> 01:16:03.819 you have any other deficiencies as well you know 01:16:03.819 --> 01:16:06.680 it's people don't understand you have several 01:16:06.680 --> 01:16:08.439 hundred different variables when it comes to 01:16:08.439 --> 01:16:11.020 your nutrition your diet interacting with the 01:16:11.020 --> 01:16:12.600 several hundred variables of what you're eating 01:16:12.600 --> 01:16:15.100 so it's like when you multiply that out congratulations 01:16:15.100 --> 01:16:17.239 you have 10 000 different fucking things to look 01:16:17.239 --> 01:16:19.500 at and there's no doctor in the world that's 01:16:19.500 --> 01:16:22.270 going to 100 know 100 of what's going on So, 01:16:22.310 --> 01:16:24.970 unfortunately, like, yes, nutrition is well studied, 01:16:25.050 --> 01:16:27.649 but we still don't even know 100 % of what's 01:16:27.649 --> 01:16:33.649 happening. So, you know, good luck ruling any 01:16:33.649 --> 01:16:35.569 of that out. Like, it definitely, it must be 01:16:35.569 --> 01:16:38.109 a contributing factor at this point. And especially 01:16:38.109 --> 01:16:39.590 with the amount of people that have changed their 01:16:39.590 --> 01:16:42.670 entire life around just by changing a diet. Like, 01:16:42.670 --> 01:16:45.470 Michaela Peterson, for example, Jordan Peterson's 01:16:45.470 --> 01:16:56.950 daughter, she had severe neurological and Like 01:16:56.950 --> 01:16:59.010 issues with her antibodies and stuff like that. 01:16:59.250 --> 01:17:01.430 Whatever that's called. Like autoimmune type. 01:17:01.510 --> 01:17:03.510 Thank you. I couldn't think of the word. But 01:17:03.510 --> 01:17:05.010 she switched to a carnivore diet and all that 01:17:05.010 --> 01:17:07.289 cleared up within a matter of weeks. And now 01:17:07.289 --> 01:17:11.210 she's purely carnivore. Really? Yeah. And because 01:17:11.210 --> 01:17:13.430 she lives in Canada, it's better than America. 01:17:13.569 --> 01:17:15.449 But like, I think she probably moved to America 01:17:15.449 --> 01:17:18.010 at this point. But like, because of where they 01:17:18.010 --> 01:17:20.539 live. They did have access to some stuff, but 01:17:20.539 --> 01:17:22.739 they still had chemicals and things. I wonder 01:17:22.739 --> 01:17:24.539 if there's a lot of people that because they 01:17:24.539 --> 01:17:29.140 don't have access to actually clean food, they're 01:17:29.140 --> 01:17:30.500 always going to have these symptoms and these 01:17:30.500 --> 01:17:32.300 side effects or to some point it's contributing 01:17:32.300 --> 01:17:35.100 to some factor. I'll never know how much, but 01:17:35.100 --> 01:17:37.420 I will say I think the number one problem I see 01:17:37.420 --> 01:17:39.479 for most people is you're going to see sleep 01:17:39.479 --> 01:17:42.060 issues with the way we eat, especially with the 01:17:42.060 --> 01:17:44.659 amount that we eat just before we go to bed and 01:17:44.659 --> 01:17:46.920 when that stuff kind of hits you. And definitely, 01:17:46.939 --> 01:17:48.479 I would say anxiety is up there too with a lot 01:17:48.479 --> 01:17:49.659 of people that just have too much sugar, too 01:17:49.659 --> 01:17:51.340 much stuff, too many highs and lows and crashes 01:17:51.340 --> 01:17:53.800 throughout the day. It just completely displaces 01:17:53.800 --> 01:17:57.100 your mood. Insulin resistance is a big thing. 01:17:59.840 --> 01:18:05.380 100%. Yep. So yeah, pay attention to what you 01:18:05.380 --> 01:18:08.939 put in your mouth and put in your body. Read 01:18:08.939 --> 01:18:12.920 your food labels. Try to shop local as best you 01:18:12.920 --> 01:18:17.220 can. Do what you can, where you can, when you 01:18:17.220 --> 01:18:20.119 can, how you can. Oh, yeah. Try to change your 01:18:20.119 --> 01:18:23.079 life for the better. And so as someone that like 01:18:23.079 --> 01:18:25.279 I've lost a bunch of weight once and I'm in the 01:18:25.279 --> 01:18:28.359 process of doing it again. And I have a few other 01:18:28.359 --> 01:18:31.460 friends that have lost a ton of weight. In America, 01:18:31.500 --> 01:18:36.380 it's tough. There's no doubt about it. But sorry, 01:18:36.539 --> 01:18:37.800 something's caught my throat. But one of the 01:18:37.800 --> 01:18:40.560 things I would say is like. In this country, 01:18:40.619 --> 01:18:43.060 it's very hard to actually eat healthy, like 01:18:43.060 --> 01:18:46.079 100%. All you do is find better substitutions. 01:18:46.279 --> 01:18:48.319 I joke it's, I'm not eating healthy, I'm eating 01:18:48.319 --> 01:18:51.000 less bad. Yeah. And that's kind of the way you 01:18:51.000 --> 01:18:52.380 have to look at it, is make the minor changes. 01:18:52.380 --> 01:18:54.520 That's how a lot of us do that. But that's all 01:18:54.520 --> 01:18:55.760 you can do, because no matter what you eat in 01:18:55.760 --> 01:18:57.779 this country, it's going to be bad. Unless you're 01:18:57.779 --> 01:18:59.899 like literally doing grilled chicken and rice, 01:19:00.020 --> 01:19:02.579 and you basically have to grow the rice yourself 01:19:02.579 --> 01:19:04.039 at that point, slaughter the chicken yourself, 01:19:04.220 --> 01:19:06.380 like besides that, it's going to have crap in 01:19:06.380 --> 01:19:11.609 it. So, I hate to say it. But at least it's not 01:19:11.609 --> 01:19:13.789 Indian street food crap that you're eating. No, 01:19:13.930 --> 01:19:15.989 no, it's not literal feces. That doesn't step 01:19:15.989 --> 01:19:20.489 up. I mean, God. But I guess the good thing going 01:19:20.489 --> 01:19:24.930 forward is as controversial as RFK is, at least... 01:19:24.930 --> 01:19:29.189 Brainworm. As controversial as Captain Brainworm 01:19:29.189 --> 01:19:32.630 is, he is also trying to make the right decisions 01:19:32.630 --> 01:19:36.229 in terms of food and making people aware and 01:19:36.229 --> 01:19:38.090 holding some of these companies accountable. 01:19:38.270 --> 01:19:40.909 Now, whether it will actually happen, I really 01:19:40.909 --> 01:19:43.069 don't know, you know, the presidency, you know, 01:19:43.069 --> 01:19:44.909 this, this term is still young with this president 01:19:44.909 --> 01:19:47.010 and, and with RFK and all that. And so we're 01:19:47.010 --> 01:19:49.670 going to see, but hopefully we're, we're barely 01:19:49.670 --> 01:19:51.789 over a hundred days right now. Yeah. I feel like 01:19:51.789 --> 01:19:54.890 a lot's already happened. So it feels like it's 01:19:54.890 --> 01:19:56.069 already been four years. What are you talking 01:19:56.069 --> 01:19:58.069 about? Well, the last one didn't seem to ever 01:19:58.069 --> 01:20:04.149 fucking end, but that that's a whole nother COVID 01:20:04.149 --> 01:20:10.369 thing with that. Yeah. Yeah, I guess. I will 01:20:10.369 --> 01:20:13.130 say it's refreshing to see press conferences 01:20:13.130 --> 01:20:16.789 from the White House. It's good to see questions 01:20:16.789 --> 01:20:21.130 get asked and coherent answers coming out. And 01:20:21.130 --> 01:20:28.550 I will give the Trump camp a bit of a thumbs 01:20:28.550 --> 01:20:30.970 up for this point. They introduced the new media 01:20:30.970 --> 01:20:33.590 seat where they have people from smaller media 01:20:33.590 --> 01:20:35.550 companies. They come in and get a special seat 01:20:35.550 --> 01:20:36.850 in the White House to ask questions, and they're 01:20:36.850 --> 01:20:39.090 allowed to ask more questions. That way you get 01:20:39.090 --> 01:20:41.390 new people always in there. Like Tim Pool was 01:20:41.390 --> 01:20:44.250 in there the other day asking very important 01:20:44.250 --> 01:20:46.550 questions. So I think that's great. I'm glad 01:20:46.550 --> 01:20:48.850 they're doing it. Hopefully that will bring more 01:20:48.850 --> 01:20:51.789 stuff up like our food issue with the FDA and 01:20:51.789 --> 01:20:55.470 everything else going on. Yeah. We should have 01:20:55.470 --> 01:20:57.369 all the listeners make true social accounts at 01:20:57.369 --> 01:21:00.590 the president and at the president's staff and 01:21:00.590 --> 01:21:04.310 have them do podcast people. Let us go up there 01:21:04.310 --> 01:21:07.689 and ask questions. No. For the sake of both of 01:21:07.689 --> 01:21:11.390 our careers, no. Let me ask the president questions. 01:21:11.909 --> 01:21:17.189 No. You'd be asking him things like... Actually, 01:21:17.189 --> 01:21:18.750 I don't even know if I can say that on the podcast. 01:21:19.510 --> 01:21:25.189 You'd be asking him some wild stuff. Nah, I could 01:21:25.189 --> 01:21:29.069 keep it professional. I'd probably get a poll 01:21:29.069 --> 01:21:31.109 together and find out the good questions that 01:21:31.109 --> 01:21:34.130 we would want asked. Fair enough. I could do 01:21:34.130 --> 01:21:37.409 a job like that, right? Not cock it up too much. 01:21:37.609 --> 01:21:40.029 Okay. That's good to know. Because I figured 01:21:40.029 --> 01:21:41.210 your first question out of the gate would be 01:21:41.210 --> 01:21:45.590 something ridiculous. Maybe not the first one. 01:21:45.829 --> 01:21:58.310 Okay. Oh, man. But, yeah. What's that? I guess 01:21:58.310 --> 01:21:59.810 that kind of wraps up what we're going to talk 01:21:59.810 --> 01:22:06.699 about today. More or less. Did you have anything 01:22:06.699 --> 01:22:10.100 else to add in? No, I was going to say, Chad, 01:22:10.159 --> 01:22:11.560 if you have any questions, feel free to ask them 01:22:11.560 --> 01:22:13.060 now while we kind of wrap this up. That way we 01:22:13.060 --> 01:22:14.060 can answer them in the next couple of minutes 01:22:14.060 --> 01:22:17.119 if you have any. What I was definitely going 01:22:17.119 --> 01:22:20.659 to say is, you know, if you guys want to do a 01:22:20.659 --> 01:22:23.479 little research at home, have fun looking up 01:22:23.479 --> 01:22:26.560 and comparing the U .S. food standards to other 01:22:26.560 --> 01:22:28.859 countries. We've done obviously a bit of research 01:22:28.859 --> 01:22:31.619 here. But it is a very deep rabbit hole that 01:22:31.619 --> 01:22:34.420 you can look forward and look through for hours 01:22:34.420 --> 01:22:37.399 and hours. Oh, yeah. And it's something to where 01:22:37.399 --> 01:22:42.159 I could not tell you all the details. We'd have 01:22:42.159 --> 01:22:46.260 to spend a long time looking at it. One of the 01:22:46.260 --> 01:22:48.119 things we will be discussing in the future is 01:22:48.119 --> 01:22:51.539 our alphabet agencies, things like the FDA, FBI, 01:22:51.659 --> 01:22:54.600 all that kind of stuff. And our best friends 01:22:54.600 --> 01:22:59.850 at FEMA. Oh, God. The FDA part, that's why we 01:22:59.850 --> 01:23:01.229 really didn't touch on it much here. We kind 01:23:01.229 --> 01:23:05.109 of loosely touched on it. I have a whole goddamn 01:23:05.109 --> 01:23:08.149 rant about the FDA. I'm sure you have one about 01:23:08.149 --> 01:23:11.670 FEMA and a few other ones. That's probably going 01:23:11.670 --> 01:23:13.510 to be a two -parter episode, to be honest with 01:23:13.510 --> 01:23:15.289 you. It might be. I don't know if we'll be able 01:23:15.289 --> 01:23:18.949 to do it all in two hours. Yeah. I really don't 01:23:18.949 --> 01:23:23.210 think so. Yeah, I think the only thing I know 01:23:23.210 --> 01:23:25.229 Oside was asking was what creamer had the titanium 01:23:25.229 --> 01:23:30.189 stuff in it. Oh, yeah. I don't know if you, I 01:23:30.189 --> 01:23:38.029 know you had that up. Oh, gotta sneeze. No, no, 01:23:38.130 --> 01:23:43.109 not during the podcast. Oh, thank God. No sneeze. 01:23:44.430 --> 01:23:47.989 Most popular coffee creamers, particularly in 01:23:47.989 --> 01:23:52.489 liquid form. These include, but are not limited 01:23:52.489 --> 01:23:56.909 to, Coffee Mate. Everything, basically everything 01:23:56.909 --> 01:24:01.050 from Coffee Mate, Land O' Lakes, Walden Farms. 01:24:03.229 --> 01:24:07.430 Those are the ones that get me off the top. Oside 01:24:07.430 --> 01:24:12.210 is freaking out in chat. Don't you love drinking 01:24:12.210 --> 01:24:19.789 the titanium? Yes. Yeah. So, yeah, it just goes 01:24:19.789 --> 01:24:21.449 to show, like, with what Oside's calling out 01:24:21.449 --> 01:24:23.369 in chat, like, it's almost impossible. It's everywhere. 01:24:23.949 --> 01:24:26.350 In this country. And this is going to take generations. 01:24:26.909 --> 01:24:28.170 This is not going to be something we're going 01:24:28.170 --> 01:24:30.810 to fix today or even 10 years from now. We're 01:24:30.810 --> 01:24:33.289 just hitting the tip of the iceberg. And unfortunately, 01:24:33.449 --> 01:24:35.729 this is because we've had generations of people 01:24:35.729 --> 01:24:37.310 not involved with this stuff. And I don't mean 01:24:37.310 --> 01:24:38.829 to blame anybody. This is not a blame thing, 01:24:38.909 --> 01:24:40.529 but it's just, this is what happens with any 01:24:40.529 --> 01:24:43.510 government when people don't regulate it. You 01:24:43.510 --> 01:24:46.430 know, this is what happens when you let money 01:24:46.430 --> 01:24:49.329 talk. Yeah. So I encourage people to get involved, 01:24:49.430 --> 01:24:55.170 you know, sign up. Yeah. You know, And if anybody 01:24:55.170 --> 01:24:58.310 noticed my background today, if you can call 01:24:58.310 --> 01:25:01.529 it out, I won't say it here. And nobody who knows 01:25:01.529 --> 01:25:05.409 from earlier gets to call it out. But if you 01:25:05.409 --> 01:25:08.109 know what this is from, let me know. It's from 01:25:08.109 --> 01:25:11.909 a movie. It is from a movie. All right. And I 01:25:11.909 --> 01:25:16.090 thought it was fitting for today. I cannot confirm 01:25:16.090 --> 01:25:25.279 or deny. Hmm. Yeah, I think that pretty much 01:25:25.279 --> 01:25:27.899 wraps up in terms of this specific episode. I 01:25:27.899 --> 01:25:29.340 do want to give a shout out to everybody and 01:25:29.340 --> 01:25:31.680 say thank you everyone for interacting with us 01:25:31.680 --> 01:25:34.180 online. We've been seeing a big uptick in the 01:25:34.180 --> 01:25:35.819 views lately. We've been noticing the episodes. 01:25:35.899 --> 01:25:37.460 We appreciate all the shares, all the likes, 01:25:37.500 --> 01:25:41.119 comments, everything. It means a lot to us. As 01:25:41.119 --> 01:25:43.520 of today, we have the account. I made the account 01:25:43.520 --> 01:25:45.399 and everything. We'll be going forward and starting 01:25:45.399 --> 01:25:47.859 to do more clips as well and getting things going. 01:25:49.079 --> 01:25:52.949 That I'm excited for. I am going to be trying 01:25:52.949 --> 01:25:54.670 some format changes as well with a few of the 01:25:54.670 --> 01:25:56.409 videos and trying to get some background stuff 01:25:56.409 --> 01:25:58.130 and some other things. I kind of want to step 01:25:58.130 --> 01:25:59.569 it up and make it look even more professional. 01:26:00.270 --> 01:26:03.329 So that's going to be going forward. So let us 01:26:03.329 --> 01:26:05.329 know any suggestions in the comments of any of 01:26:05.329 --> 01:26:08.029 the videos about things such as either formatting 01:26:08.029 --> 01:26:10.829 changes in terms of how the video is structured 01:26:10.829 --> 01:26:13.869 or background or anything else. Just feel free 01:26:13.869 --> 01:26:16.670 to let us know because I'm open to suggestions 01:26:16.670 --> 01:26:20.270 with it. I have a few ideas. I did not listen 01:26:20.270 --> 01:26:22.390 to the audio from the past couple, but are you 01:26:22.390 --> 01:26:25.250 still putting in the background music? You know 01:26:25.250 --> 01:26:28.329 what? I haven't been. No one said anything. Okay. 01:26:28.430 --> 01:26:29.869 I did it for the one. I know it was brought up 01:26:29.869 --> 01:26:31.670 and we did it on the one. Yep, I did it on the 01:26:31.670 --> 01:26:33.369 one. I wanted to see what people were going to 01:26:33.369 --> 01:26:37.550 say. Okay, we got no feedback. I heard nothing 01:26:37.550 --> 01:26:41.949 positive or negative, so I figure maybe we will, 01:26:42.029 --> 01:26:45.449 maybe we won't. Who knows? Okay. I know with 01:26:45.449 --> 01:26:48.590 us, generally, we are pretty good at... fucking 01:26:48.590 --> 01:26:51.489 blabbing and talking so i mean there's not there's 01:26:51.489 --> 01:26:54.170 not much dead space uh but who knows not really 01:26:54.170 --> 01:26:59.489 uh but really besides that anything else you'd 01:26:59.489 --> 01:27:05.010 like to uh the closing no uh i i would personally 01:27:05.010 --> 01:27:07.569 like a little bit of feedback if anybody sees 01:27:07.569 --> 01:27:10.729 us on uh the the little reels that i make on 01:27:10.729 --> 01:27:14.489 instagram because i do i don't do the the insta 01:27:14.489 --> 01:27:18.289 page very much So I know that I'm reusing a lot 01:27:18.289 --> 01:27:20.050 of the same shit over and over and just putting 01:27:20.050 --> 01:27:22.789 a little bit of new music to it. But thoughts 01:27:22.789 --> 01:27:25.390 on the music that I do and the shit that I do 01:27:25.390 --> 01:27:27.869 for those reels, because I don't do that stuff. 01:27:28.010 --> 01:27:32.390 I'm not a young person. I don't use the the instant 01:27:32.390 --> 01:27:38.210 page, whatever crap I don't make reels. So, you 01:27:38.210 --> 01:27:39.590 know what I'll do? I'll talk to my girlfriend 01:27:39.590 --> 01:27:41.229 about it because she used to manage a big social 01:27:41.229 --> 01:27:44.390 media page. Okay. I'll ask her about stuff. You 01:27:44.390 --> 01:27:45.909 know what I was thinking about? I want to see 01:27:45.909 --> 01:27:48.050 what chat would say about this, too. What if 01:27:48.050 --> 01:27:51.989 we used AI to make, like, art photos and cover 01:27:51.989 --> 01:27:56.550 pages for the different episodes? Depending. 01:27:58.710 --> 01:28:00.710 I'm curious to see what people would say if they'd 01:28:00.710 --> 01:28:03.989 want, like, separate ones for that. Because if 01:28:03.989 --> 01:28:05.529 we're going to be investing AI and using some 01:28:05.529 --> 01:28:07.369 stuff, maybe that'd be kind of funny. Mm -hmm. 01:28:07.789 --> 01:28:10.390 You know? Also, yeah, what about TikTok, Gibbs? 01:28:11.109 --> 01:28:12.970 What about TikTok? That's literally what the 01:28:12.970 --> 01:28:16.609 AI thing's going to be for. That's all the clips 01:28:16.609 --> 01:28:19.390 that we can put on there. Although, granted, 01:28:19.470 --> 01:28:22.829 yes, I know I've been slacking on it. I am aware. 01:28:24.229 --> 01:28:29.170 Where are the clips at, Gibbs? Not on TikTok. 01:28:30.350 --> 01:28:32.689 No, not on anywhere. But they will be. That's 01:28:32.689 --> 01:28:37.319 the point of what we're doing. Yeah. But the 01:28:37.319 --> 01:28:39.779 only reason outside in the chat why I'm recommending 01:28:39.779 --> 01:28:41.520 the AI thing is because I just simply cannot 01:28:41.520 --> 01:28:44.079 afford to hire somebody from Fiverr to make a 01:28:44.079 --> 01:28:45.699 different kind of photo for each episode. Hell 01:28:45.699 --> 01:28:49.060 no. So I think it's the easiest way. Let me tell 01:28:49.060 --> 01:28:51.960 you, if it's music you want, I can do it. If 01:28:51.960 --> 01:28:57.399 it's drawing you want, I can sign my name. I 01:28:57.399 --> 01:29:00.000 can draw a potato. I got kicked out of art class. 01:29:00.100 --> 01:29:03.640 That's how bad I am. I can draw some stick figures. 01:29:03.939 --> 01:29:08.250 You know, same. We can wrap up the episode and 01:29:08.250 --> 01:29:10.329 take it to the after show if you want. Absolutely. 01:29:11.130 --> 01:29:13.670 But yeah, if anybody wants to join for the after 01:29:13.670 --> 01:29:17.489 show shenanigans, hit us up on Twitch. We typically 01:29:17.489 --> 01:29:19.609 hang out for a little while after the episode 01:29:19.609 --> 01:29:25.890 and just shoot the shit for a little while. Twitch 01:29:25.890 --> 01:29:30.430 .tv slash now underscore we underscore consume 01:29:30.430 --> 01:29:34.420 underscore podcast.
