We have to improve this.
You know, one last thing I'd add to the grass, and again, this isn't pointing fingers, but I think this is just stating facts of where we are.
But I think most Americans would agree this is reasonable and it's under current law.
The food industry, there's these weird sounding ingredients, but they're also responsible for having safety studies of the ingredients at the amount that they're being put in the product and recommended to consumers.
And I think this is an important conversation that we need to have.
Big brand name products in America have foundationally different ingredients than other countries, including sugar content.
If you look at major soda brands, major candy brands, major cereal brands, the exact same product has marginally to substantially lower amounts of sugar often in other countries.
You know, if you are a cereal with 20 grams of sugar, marking that cereal to five-year-olds for daily consumption, by law, you're actually required to understand the safety and efficacy of that product that's intended to use.
How addictive is it?
What does it do to your metabolism?
You know...
If a candy brand, if their slogan is every day use, has every day in their slogan, it's a fair question to ask, where's the safety study of this product with 40 grams of sugar that spikes blood sugar being used every day?
So again, this is just a reminder, I think, for the food industry.
This is not mass finger pointing, but I do think we all need to have an incremental...
conversation here about what the law currently is, about what's happening in the country and about how we need to build a bridge to the future where we're not systematically by design spiking our children's blood sugar every single day to diabetic levels and causing a mass and unique situation in America of inflammation, insulin resistance, which then leads to devastating rates of obesity, you know, diabetes and etc.
That's the conversation we're fostering.
It's been one year.
I will say to voters, whether they supported President Trump, Bobby Kennedy or not, or wherever they are, I think we should be actually very excited where we are right now.
I think so too.
And I think one of the most important things that's happening is every single boardroom in America of a food company...
