Let's say we've had enough.
My kids are getting fat.
We've tried all that other stuff in the last 70 years.
We're going to try.
I remember Fort Worth, Texas, one of the most conservative cities in America.
The mayor, they invited me there to show them the program.
And I got a lot of people saying, sounds like nanny state to me.
Sounds like they're taking away my freedoms.
And yeah, I am.
I'm taking away your freedoms to do unhealthy shit.
Um, you know, and I was walking out the door and the mayor said, you know, stop the meeting and said, Betsy price was her name.
She said, no, I think we ought to give Dan a chance.
And Fort Worth, Texas, in five years, they themselves, because of our program, reported 3% drop in BMI, the city of almost a million people, compared to other Texas controls.
So while the rest of Texas got fatter, Fort Worth went down a little bit.
They themselves calculated that we saved them about $260 million a year in projected healthcare costs, a year.
Why?
Because now Fort Worth is more walkable.
It's more bikeable.
There are more healthy, whole plant-based options.
Schools are certified.
