The Joe Rogan Experience.
The problem is it's so delicious.
Well, that's, you know.
And those keto desserts are mostly bullshit.
Bullshit.
No, I just have to roll my eyes.
The paleo treats and the keto desserts and the, you know, all these things are
like trying to come up with a version.
It's almost like, you know, beyond meat trying to come up with a piece of steak
that's made out of, you know, of vegetables.
And here we are trying to create a sugary dessert that looks like a dessert and
tastes like a dessert,
but is made with erythritol and allulose and all this other stuff.
I'm glad you brought that up because I think there's real promise in these
meats that are made in a laboratory in terms of their cloning meat.
You know, they're taking meat and reproducing it.
And I've seen some of these really strange looking 3D printed steaks, but it's
actual animal tissue.
But these meat substitutes that are made with seed oils.
Just knowing that.
There is a study, and we've talked about it on the podcast, where they fed rats
these things.
And they had horrible, fucking rats eat each other.
They eat everything.
They eat garbage.
They're fine.
They eat those fake burgers, and they were sick as fuck.
I know.
They started getting liver problems.
Yep.
Yeah.
I can't explain it.
It's amazing how many people think that those things are good for you.
Beyond amazing.
Ooh, beyond amazing.
Yeah.
It's impossible.
Oh, wait.
No.
It's just nuts.
It's just nuts that, again, that the collective conscience of the country would
rally around something so inane, so antithetical to health.
And in the name of saving the climate or saving the animals or whatever, there's
never going to be any, well, not in our lifetime, even the cell, you know, the
matrix lab-grown meat, the cell-based stuff, still lacks a lot of the nutrients.
You know, you have to have the infusion of the capillaries and all of the stuff.
You have to have a real animal to get the full impact of all this.
They need to clone headless animals with no souls.
Yeah, exactly.
That's what they need to do.
But then they would have to exercise in order to be, like, really delicious.
That's the thing, like, the difference between a wild game animal and an animal
that's stuck in a pen like veal, which is disgusting.
A wild game animal is rich and red and dark, and it's denser.
It's more chewy because it's a denser, healthier animal.
And you think you're going to get that from a lab-grown?
No.
No.
So, you know, we're back to...
You get a headless elk, and you put them on steroids, and you have them running
on a treadmill.
Let's patent that, Jamie.
Make a note.
Yeah, it's...
I think, you know, regenerative agriculture is the way we need to go to feed
the world, not through ceasing growing animals and trying to do it all in the
lab, I think.
Well, Rob Wolf has a new book out, and he was supposed to be on right around
April, but a bunch of shit went down, and we're going to have him on again.
But his book is about that.
Yeah.
His book is all about the benefits of regenerative agriculture.
Sacred cow.
Yeah.
The people that are skeptical, though, don't think that we could do it at a
scale that's necessary to provide as many people with meat as eat meat in this
country because of fast food production.
Fast food production, the way they believe, the way I've heard it argued, and
it makes a lot of sense, is that the scale in which we're consuming meat in
this country because of fast food requires factory farming to keep up with it.
Well, for now, it does, but, you know, there's got to be a tipping point.
There's got to be a point at which we have to recognize that by concentrating
everything in our world, not just food, but all of these different
concentrations, that there is a point at which we can't satisfy people's needs.
And so I see us sort of going back to the cottage industry farm, the local
grown, you know, the local farmers.
I mean, I would love to see if there's going to be any subsidies in agriculture,
it should be for local small farms that are trying to do regenerative
agriculture and reclaim the topsoil and, you know, build back instead of
continuously depleting it.
Yeah, I think so, too, and I think one of the interesting things is that one of
the big arguments against everyone eating vegetables is monocrop agriculture,
which is essentially what you would need.
This is the real problem.
It becomes a conundrum because everyone, I think everyone, with a heart and a
soul, agrees that factory farming in terms of animals is disgusting.
It's horrible.
But I don't think they understand the horrors of monocrop agriculture and how
bad it is.
It's so bad for the environment.
It's so bad for the soil.
It's bad for the animals.
It's terrible for all the wildlife that gets moved and displaced because of the
fact that you have, you know, 4,000 acres of corn or some crazy shit like that.
And when they churn that corn up with a combine, a lot of shit dies.
There is no way you're going to go out there and handpick 4,000 acres of corn.
You're not going to do it.
You use machinery.
And during that machinery, it's indiscriminate.
It chews up everything.
Not only that, you have to use some sort of pesticides.
You have to use something that discourages predation.
You have to use all these different methods to keep animals – like if you
have 4,000 acres of corn, you're going to have a food source where animals are
going to swarm in and eat all of your crops.
That's what they would do.
If that was a normal thing that occurred in the wild, if in the wild, all of a
sudden, out of nowhere, there was 4,000 acres of naturally growing vegetables,
that would be one of the most wildlife-rich areas.
100%.
100%.
Yeah.
So how do they keep that from happening?
Well, they do with poison.
They discourage it with pesticides, with all sorts of different methods of
eliminating insects.
If you care about insects, they destroy insect populations, insects which are
also critical to the growth of the soil.
It's like there's this natural cycle.
So then they have to add a bunch of nitrogen and shit to the soil.
And they estimate that we have like – I think the latest estimation – Jamie,
look this up – the United States farmlands have, I believe, 60 more seasons
in there.
I heard 50, but yeah, it's that number.
Yeah, it's a dwindling number.
It's a diminishing number until all of the nutrients are depleted.
You and me might be dead, but Jamie's going to ride this out.
Jamie's going to be here at the end of crops.
He's going to be in this bunker with his lab-grown meat.
Yeah, I'll be 113 hooked up to an IV, NAD machine, and Jamie will be out there
trucking, eating lab-grown carrots.
I just don't understand why people don't recognize that both these things are
terrible.
Factory farming is terrible, and this monocrop agriculture.
And this is the argument they always use.
We need these monocrop agriculture things to feed animals.
Well, no, we don't.
What you need is natural grasslands, which is what these – when you saw –
when the settlers saw millions of bison running across the plains, what were
they eating?
Were they eating monocrop, GMO, soy?
No, they weren't.
They were eating grass.
That's what they're supposed to eat.
And when they do that, they shit on the ground.
That shit fertilizes the grasses and fertilizes all the other plants.
And then you have this whole ecosystem of animals that exist within these
fields, and it's supposed to be that way.
They're supposed to coexist together, and they work together symbiotically to
make sure that – and you can do that.
At least we've demonstrated on small scale, and this is what Rob's book is
about, and a lot of other people have talked about this as well –
that when it's done correctly, it actually produces a carbon-neutral effect.
Yeah.
Nature always has the best answer.
