Or if you're a Latino, every Latino is going to recognize a corn tortilla and beans.

You put those two together, put some hot sauce,

bam, you have all the protein you need.

If you're Asian, mung beans or tofu is a great way to get that protein.

And these are inexpensive foods.

And the real genius Blue Zones has harnessed is they've known how to make these simple peasant foods high in protein, high in complex carbohydrates and fiber, taste delicious.

That's the most important insight.

Most important ingredient is deliciousness.

Why?

Because you could tell me that broccoli is the best, healthiest food in the world or fermented tofu or sauerkraut, whatever.

But if you don't like it, you might force yourself to eat it for a couple weeks or months, but you're not going to eat it for long enough to make any difference.

If you can figure out how to make these foods delicious, like people in the blue zones, peasant food delicious, bam, you got a killer app.

So, you know, my daytime job, I get hired by insurance companies to lower the BMI of entire cities that thereby raises their life expectancy.

And my job is to articulate in such a way that people want to move from a standard American diet to a Blue Zone Zoe type diet.

And by the way, the value proposition for a 20-year-old...

For a woman, it's about 10 extra years.

So moving from a standard American diet to a largely whole food plant-based.

And for a man, it's about 12 years.

So it's an enormous value proposition.

That's right, 20-year-old.
