And I'm not an obese person.

I don't feel like I'm suffering from food noise that was there.

It was more in the sense of like, oh, wow, one poor,

One long pour of olive oil on a daily basis, that's an extra 500 calories that I was getting.

And just by being a little bit more mindful, I'm not having olive oil.

I don't eat butter because I don't react well to it, but I wish I could because it tastes so good.

I'm not having these foods.

I've just been a little bit more mindful that even healthy food, food that's at Air One and Whole Foods or other things,

You can overeat it and it can add up to excess weight on you.

Oh, yes.

I don't think that you would disagree with that idea.

As we're winding down for today, is a part of your message...

that we have examples of traditional societies or societies that practice things more traditionally, the Lindy idea that they live in a way that's more in accordance, forget just eating, but the way that they spend time socially, et cetera.

But here in the Western world, America in particular, because we're

surrounded by so much food noise.

And then on top of that, our lifestyle is so different, how we sleep, our screens, caffeine usage, alcohol usage, drug usage, et cetera, because it's so different than some of these more traditional ways that we lived.

Even taking principles that you were talking about in how life was more 50, 60, 100 years ago, even in North America,

We have to be that much more vigilant because things have changed so much.

You know, it's not that everybody's getting mindfulness training in these countries that are naturally more, you know, less obese.

It's just the environment that they were grown up in, right?
