Fixing our food system.
We've consolidated way too much up at the top.
It's become mass manufactured.
It's almost merged with the government.
I say culinary fascism to some degree.
And we need to open up the supply chain to those local guys, right?
Give them more access to the supply chain, create more competition.
Meat right now and and the kind of the beef debate is another um filter for that because what we're seeing is this mass consolidation, and you've you have to have
a heavy handed government that then tries to break that up.
We never should have gotten to that point to begin with.
Yes.
Yes.
And that's the prime example.
Eighty plus percent of the seafood we consume in the United States is imported.
And yet we have the most sustainable fisheries in the world.
And the majority of the seafood we catch locally, which supports our local industries, is exported.
So we have this backwards approach when we have an asset right here off our coastline, a bounty of the most sustainable fisheries in the world, and yet we're not taking advantage of.
Of it because we're over-regulating them out of business.
We're literally shipping our technology, blue ocean investment overseas to China when it comes to aquaculture, multi-trophic aquaculture, all the technologies that could actually create a much higher bounty of seafood from a trade perspective.
And we're going to use our enemies.
