Hey, Ben, thanks for having me.

And thanks for taking an interest in all of this.

That's 100 percent right.

And so what we have learned pretty much is that the FDA does a really good job as a reactionary force.

Right.

If there is a problem, they will go and investigate.

If there is a E. coli or salmonella outbreak, they will go and investigate.

But what we want to do in the free state of Florida and through a coalition of other states is to do trust, but verify testing.

Right.

A company can put a product out on the market.

It has a list of ingredients.

And what we want to do is trust the integrity of that product to ensure that there are no contaminants like heavy metals, leads or pesticides or anything like that.

And I think through the states in a federalist type way, we can help be a force multiplier to the federal Maha movement, give our data and our evidence to the FDA and say, hey, listen, here's some actors here that are problematic, like glyphosate, which we found in the bread, which is weed killer, commonly found in Roundup, right?

Like this is totally unacceptable.

And so we want to help provide truth and accountability and just give consumers the information so they can make informed decisions.

Yeah, right.

And the problem lies in aggregate.

We're not talking about one piece of candy on one day, but no child is eating one piece of candy on one day and not eating candy for the rest of the year, right?

When we look at it through our risk analysis, it is how much candy are they eating and consumption over the course of a year?

And what does that mean as far as the intake of arsenic and being problematic?
