And it also comes with a fiber package, which the two things that Zoe and Blue Zones violently agree on is how important fiber is and that we simply don't get enough of it.

So you hear that?

95% of us don't get enough fiber.

Tell people why fiber is so important.

You see, I think people don't realize how sexy fiber is.

I mean, we kind of associate with like this woody substance or lettuce, but it's so incredibly powerful.

And I just think it's hard for people to make money off of fiber.

So we don't hear about it as much.

And that's why 95% of us don't get enough of it.

So most of the blue zones were geographically isolated until about the year 2000.

So a 100-year-old had the first 75 years of his or her life

where they were eating a very traditional diet.

If you're eating a certain way for 75 years, even if a hamburger or pizza comes on the dietary scene, you don't necessarily adopt it.

So they continue to eat the patterns they established when they were children or young adults.

But now the blue zones are increasingly looking like the UK or the United States in the sad state of their food environment.

I wouldn't say it was a low protein diet, but I would say it's a medium protein diet.

So in America, for example, the average American consumes about 110 kilograms of meat a year.

That's a bathtub full of dead animal.

In the blue zones, it was about 10 kilograms a year.

Yes.
