I never ever learned in medical school or residency that I could write a prescription for food or exercise. It's totally legal. And if you do that, it can be covered by, you can use tax advantage dollars tax-free. Never learn that in nine years.

Like, like, like, like, yeah. Yeah, I mean, if you think about what's happened over the past 50 years, all of these chronic diseases are exploding.

The more clomiphene we are prescribing, the more we're having to do IVF procedures. You know, it's not making sense. The more hypertension, ACE inhibitors, you know, beta blockers, the more hypertension is going up.

We're prescribing 221 million prescriptions for statins per year, and heart disease is continuing to be the leading cause of death in the United States. This doesn't make... any sense. And, you know, it's like Callie's saying, like, it is a free country and people should be allowed to make choice, but we don't need to pay for the bad choices for people, which is what we're doing.

We're incentivizing sugar. We're putting it in their school lunches. We are also making those foods cheaper. Through the farm bills and through our complete and utter support of $500 billion program, the farm bill program. And it's all, in terms of the crops subsidies, going towards commodity crops that are turned into ultra-processed foods and making them cheaper. Less than 1%.
