Sophia, I would like to ask this question because I was just thinking about this as you were talking. I saw an advertisement around ugly vegetables and fruits. And it's like if a lesser fruit is looking perfect, people won't eat it. What are your thoughts? I mean, you know, I don't even know where my conversation is going, but I remember this like, you know, a bunch of ugly vegetables and fruit.

Yeah. OK.

Yeah. OK.

Well, that's really interesting to me because as you're talking about this, I'm thinking about how sometimes when people have this high expectation as well of what I should be receiving, you know, and it's important. I think it's important to enter this conversation to say that we need to sometimes rethink about how we receive or accept food.

Like I said, you know, somebody will say, well, I don't like that fruit because it's ugly. You know, you just talk about the ugly carrot. Yeah, we need to talk about that because if you're hungry, guess what? The ugly carrot works. You know, it has the same nutritional value as a pretty carrot, you know? So I think

So that's a great conversation to start having with people, you know, as a kind of a core conversation. Anyway, that's my thought. I'm just rambling at this point.

Clarence, last thoughts. My last thought, Sophia, is this. Where are the best resources for us who don't necessarily know where to go to go to be able to help or to support others who might be in need of food?

I wanna ask a question. I know that we've known about type one diabetes, type two diabetes, but the state has really made us a effort now to really take a look at this issue of childhood diabetes, like with this grant and stuff like that. What was the tipping point? I mean, what came up that caused the state to say like, okay, we have to deal with this?

Yeah, I did. I wanted to kind of follow up because when I take a look at, you know, I look at old videos and things like that, and all the people that I see on those old videos are real fans. I shouldn't say not all of them, but for the majority of the part, they're real, real thin. So what is the cause of this increase in diabetes and weight and obesity?

What's going on that we have to really look at it now? I mean, in 20, 30 years, I mean, we're going to have some major issues.

That makes it better. Zula, let me ask you this question. What are your expectations or hope for the community with this project?
