The Remembering, Vol 91: Is Your Tea Bag Shedding Plastic?

Beef liver's B12 math, what a tea bag sheds into your cup, Airbnb paying farms to host you, and a homeschool mom's sourdough roll-ups.

Should you eat liver once a week?

Ounce for ounce, beef liver is one of the most nutrient-dense foods you can put on your plate. A single 3 oz serving gives you:

  • About 6,500 mcg of vitamin A, more than seven times the daily value, for normal vision, immune function, and growth
  • 12 mg of copper, which helps your body make energy and blood vessels, plus 5 mg of iron to build the protein that carries oxygen in your blood
  • Roughly 70 mcg of B12, about 30 times the daily value, to keep blood and nerve cells healthy

One serving a week is plenty. If the flavor is a hurdle, grate a little frozen liver into ground beef for burgers, meatballs, or chili. You’ll get the nutrients and barely notice it's there.

How much plastic is in your tea?

Researchers in Barcelona steeped three common types of tea bags and counted what the bags themselves release into your drink.

  • Polypropylene bags released about 1.2 billion particles per milliliter.
  • Cellulose bags, often seen as the safer option, still released around 135 million.

Paul broke down the study in this reel, along with the simple swap he recommends.

Airbnb is paying farmers to host you?

The typical U.S. farm struggles to be profitable from farming alone. Meanwhile, Airbnb says its typical farm-stay host earned about $8,000 in 2025. That gap is big enough that Airbnb and American Farmland Trust just launched the Farm to Stay Grant Program. It will give 25 to 30 working farms and ranches $5,000 to $10,000 each to add overnight stays, farm-to-table dinners, apple picking, and hands-on workshops.

We love this. More time on real farms means more people seeing firsthand how their food gets grown, and more farmers staying on their land. Applications open in late November 2026. Next time you travel, book a night on a working farm, or buy direct from one near you.

What a homeschool mom of 5 feeds her family

Kelcie Souve · Fredericksburg, Virginia

With five kids at home, she knows a thing or two about keeping a hungry family fed. About a year and a half ago, her family began incorporating more animal-based foods into their routine. More red meat, raw milk, fruit, honey, and beef organs.

Lineage has found its way into the whole family’s routine. Kelcie and her husband start their mornings with ABC Protein and raw honey in their smoothies, while the kids reach for Air-Dried Steak, Meat Sticks, and Protein Bars for snacks.

One of their favorites is somewhere between a pancake and a crepe.

Know exactly what's in your morning cup

If a tea bag can shed millions of particles, it's fair to ask what else is in your morning mug. Coffee is a mold-prone crop, especially when it's grown fast in poor soil. How it's grown and whether it's tested both matter.

Rewild Roast comes from small family farms in the highlands of Nicaragua. It's grown under native shade trees and fed with on-farm compost instead of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It's Certified Organic and Fair Trade, fermented with wild native yeast, slow-dried, and third-party tested every batch for mold, mycotoxins, glyphosate, and heavy metals.
