Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "Where did they get it?"
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."
Activist: "From... eating?"
Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."
Activist: "The soil?"
Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."
Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."
Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."
Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."
Activist: "It's not that simple."
Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."
Plastic is shrinking your balls. That's not a joke. It's peer-reviewed science.
Microplastics have been found in human blood, lungs, liver, placenta, and breast milk. Every time you eat from plastic containers, drink from plastic bottles, or breathe indoor air, you're ingesting them. Some estimates suggest the average person takes in a credit card's worth of plastic every week.
In 2024, researchers at the University of New Mexico found microplastics in every single human testicle they examined. Every one. More PVC and PET plastic correlated with lower testicle weight.
Sperm counts have dropped 59% between 1973 and 2011. The decline is accelerating — over 2.6% per year since 2000. Dr. Shanna Swan projects most couples may need assisted reproduction by 2045.
Phthalates — chemicals in plastics — are anti-androgenic. They suppress testosterone in utero. The result: shorter anogenital distance, smaller genitals, undescended testicles. Swan's research showed shorter distance directly correlates with lower sperm counts.
Testosterone has been declining roughly 1% per year across generations. Your grandfather had significantly higher testosterone than you — not because of lifestyle alone, but because of chemical exposure that didn't exist in his era.
This week, RFK Jr. and EPA head Lee Zeldin announced STOMP — a $144 million federal program to detect and remove microplastics from the human body. For the first time, the EPA is listing microplastics as a priority contaminant in drinking water.
They put plastic in everything. Now it's in us. Your body is not a landfill.
Question everything.

@VinnieTortorich fyi, the jaspr promo was only good thru 2025. It $300 now. Still great and an amazing product. I just did a snooze and lose but love it thanks
Watched the documentary, " I Like Me" about John Candy. That guy was the best . Worth the watch. @VinnieTortorich did you see it? Check it out, on prime
