I am there. I guess I'm like a little bit disheartened from our chat on politics and health because I don't feel like there should be any sides.

I want my family to be healthy and I want my community to be healthy. And it's just really disheartening to sit here and talk about how politics has such a massive influence on our health and wellbeing.
