So when we go into a university, we're going to work with the cafeteria companies

to help them favor whole plant-based food over junk food.

And if they are selling junk food, we're going to, in many cases, we're successful in convincing them to lower the price of the healthy food and then we'll raise the price of the burgers and fries and pizzas.

And then subsidize the unhealthy food.

Subsidize the healthy food, rather.

Connect freshmen when they come in and set up the campus so people are moving mindlessly, get more physical activity.

Generally take that approach, and it works.

I didn't love that.

Well, what I'm most proud of, we do have Blue Zone kitchen frozen food, which is 100% whole food plant-based.

It's in 4,000 grocery stores.

And that I did oversee.

That I'm very proud of.

We've sold 2 million meals and figure we've saved about 50 life years and just moving people away from the standard American diet to eating these 2 million whole food plant-based meals.

And I'm very proud of that.

That other stuff I have nothing to do with.

It's a brand that people want to slap on whatever they do.

And we fight to try to minimize that.

Well...

You know, we worked with Wellmark in Iowa, and they're very pleased.

So we don't just give certification.
