Exactly. But part of the issue is that we need an entire reform of our food system here in America because right now we have... I don't know the exact number, but we have a small amount of just really large industrialized farms. And then they're just shipping out everything across the country.
And what people don't realize is that an apple that you get at the grocery store has probably been, it was probably three weeks from being picked because they picked it and then they sprayed it with something in the truck that makes it ripen while it's on its trip to you.

And then finally, by the time you get it at the grocery store, it was picked like three weeks ago and it was ripened in the back of a truck, not on a tree. And we're doing this largely across all of our food systems. So what we need to do is we need to incentivize farmers to go back to regenerative farming. We need more local farms where we can get local produce from our communities.

I think a lot of these smaller farmers that are super passionate about all this, they're all getting pushed out by these big industrialized farms that are taking over everything. And then they're just ruining our food supply and they're spraying everything and they're conventionally farming. And, yeah, to your point, I mean, you talk about this all the time, the nutritional deficiencies.

And we're not getting enough nutrients from our foods because we're really not eating a lot of real foods anymore. And then when we are, they're devoid of vitamins and minerals and nutrients that were there before. And this is another argument for organic. There's been a lot of studies and testing done.
