Literally. So she was really on it. And very, very early on. I mean, my mom told me in 2006. It's crazy that I remember the date, but I remember the year because she cut out a newspaper article and physically mailed it to me at my college dorm. And it was an article about trans fats.

Well, then we know now, obviously, that trans fats are really bad for us. And they ultimately were pulled from our food supply in 2006. when was that? 16, somewhere around there, where food companies were finally, they were legally required to take them out.
