It's also healthier for the farmers because they're not using all this glyphosate and all the other stuff that so many of these farmers, no one is really talking about this. So many of these farmers are now getting non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

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.
