Calley Means

It is absolutely disgraceful what hospitals are serving patients.

And we have asked a simple question to hospitals, which is why is the government paying you trillions of dollars to serve food that is fueling the chronic diseases?

The political coalition that Bobby Kennedy and President Trump put together allow us to ask common sense questions, and it allows Kyle to call the food industry to the table.

The Maha argument is that this is not an issue of rejiggering Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates to solve what's happening to American health.

There's something deeply cultural here.

It's very multifaceted, and we've opened up that conversation.

Yeah, on that podcast back just a year and a half ago, I never expected I would be moving to DC and going all in.

The reason I had to do it is because I think we are still in the moment of a generational opportunity.

It is impossible to describe how accustomed DC is to protecting the status quo.

And as Kyle said, it's not one individual evil person, but there are trillions and trillions of dollars that our current system fuels.

And there's so much inertia in DC to keep that system the way it is.

And there's such a lack of common sense in DC to not step back and ask common sense questions like, why don't we have safety testing on our food?

And we don't.

We do not have appropriate safety testing of our food today due to the perversion of the grass loophole.

It's almost the assumption DC is the food industry doesn't have to do safety studies.

Common sense questions like, well, we spend $120 billion on SNAP.

We spend tens of billions of dollars to procure meals for our schools and our military.

Why is 70% of the food that we procure for children ultra processed food?

Why is that?

Is that the right thing to do for children's health now that we're going bankrupt with Medicaid costs?
