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.
