And if we're not thinking about this, like what are we doing with our time?
You know, I just really don't understand sometimes, but I think that that gets into some of the tech and the more cultural issues. Like we're so distracted and by design, right? Like we're so obsessed with on our phones, technology, 10 hours a day. You know, the average kid, I think it's seven hours a day now on a screen. So we're not, we're totally funneled in on this stuff.
And then you've got these other cultural factors that may have good intentions. Like tech has a great side and feminism has a great side, but they get weaponized culturally to say like, yeah, you know, like we were talking about earlier, women, Don't cook. Being a mother is second class citizenship. It's associated with like being property and slave. Get out of the workforce.
Rise the corporate ladder. And women are now 25 percent of them on our SSRIs. Divorce rates are 50 percent. Men are lost because basically women are saying like men don't have a role anymore. You know, we got this. And kids kids are not being able to, you know, get that quality time with their family to play and to be wisdom to be passed down and to have home cooked meals.
And, you know, and I feel. It's obviously the beautiful sides to that, but also it's like we've totally lost our priorities and we're giving away our attention freely so that we're so distracted that we're missing the existential issues that are happening here now.
And I think that what Kelly and I really want to share is that there's a way to get back to, I think, deep fulfillment and genuine happiness.
health but it's it you know we do have to the chronic disease epidemic is just part and parcel with all of this because you know our brains and our bodies are basically getting destroyed and then it's a vicious downward cycle where if our bodies aren't strong and our minds aren't strong we're actually less strong to build a
to face and to push back against the things that are trying to capture our attention. You know, you get a kid who is eating the dead food filled with the sugars and the seed oils and their brains inflamed. They're on the dopamine treadmill from life. And so they're going to be more
um easy to succumb to the the phone that hits the dopamine or the drugs down the road i think you talked about this with brigham like you put the rats in a group and if they're in community and they have kind of that purpose of community they're not going to choose the heroin water right they're going to just choose the regular water but that's why the food is so interlinked with all of it like i just look at the food we're feeding our kids and we're we're doing this because families feel strapped for time and money you know and that's a societal issue
And we've also bought into this idea that both parents may be working all the time for women to have any value in society, which is insane, and forgotten that parenting is the most precious, incredible act we possibly could do, I think, as humans, and raising healthy, strong, critical-thinking people.
But because of all of these forces, we are just giving food to our families that is literally dead. Ultra-processed food is dead food. The second... People don't really understand this. Doctors certainly don't. The second food comes out of the earth or is killed, if it's an animal, like it starts degrading. That's just what happens.
And the food has tens of thousands of molecular components in it that work miraculously with our cells to generate health. And right now, the average piece of food, I mean, 67% of our calories are ultra processed food, totally dead, totally stripped of all those miraculous nutrients.
And the average piece of fresh food is traveling 1,500 miles from the soil to our plates and is usually out of the ground for weeks. So we are literally eating dead food that has lost all of its magic that is God-given for us to have cells that function properly.
And all of this is tied in to all these cultural societal factors that are being used against us to make us think that our priorities are basically just climbing the corporate ladder. It's all interconnected. And fundamentally, we need to just wake up and really focus on like, again, like get back to the core basics below all of this, above all of this, which is that our life is a miracle.
It is a miracle that we are here, that you're here, that I'm alive, that Callie's alive, that we're all here. It is so insane that we get to have this experience and privilege to be alive once.
And to have these finite number of days and we're squandering that because we're distracted and we are we are allowing ourselves to live in fear when in fact we don't need to have fear because we are these incredible miraculous beings. And I think so. That's why I think.
Just to, we're talking a lot about policy and it's really important, but I think it also like a lot of this is going to come down to us having a reckoning in our families and our communities with ourselves of like getting back to that higher level of like, Jesus Christ, like we're alive. This is insane. And this body is our temple. It's our one home.
and we're destroying it um and that's not the best idea like we could actually be doing it differently we could be honoring it respecting it letting it produce the energy it needs to produce to be able to reach our highest purpose in this one lifetime and it's not that complicated and i don't understand fully i reflect on this every day with cali like why are there dark why are there forces that don't want that to happen i don't understand i don't know if it's just money like
Because it's big, right? Like, everything we're saying is not the direction we're going in as a country, as a world. And, you know, I don't understand that. It feels like we have an opportunity to elevate consciousness here on this planet for future generations, and we're choosing not to. But we could make a different choice today, all of us, by...
by really digging deep into our spiritual strength and being bold right now. I think now's the moment. And it's above political. There are political tactics that I think can help bring it to fruition, but fundamentally it starts with us, each of us individually believing that this life is a miracle and fighting for it.
