So advertising on candy is $5 billion a year, and just purchasing of candy is $50 billion a year in the U.S. And so that $1.5 billion is just nothing compared to what the true issue is going on.

I have not seen that, but that really would be sad if that were true. Amazing. Yeah. So we really need research and innovation. I think we need a new National Institute of Nutrition at the NIH. The NIH has a National Cancer Institute, a National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. All these institutes focus on diseases. We need a National Institute of Nutrition.

It's the National Institute of Health. Food is the biggest challenge to health. Let's create a new National Institute of Nutrition. And again, that sounds impossible, but the National Cancer Institute was added recently. to NIH not that long ago because of just the concerted acts of a few people going to Congress and saying, hey, we need a war on cancer. We need a war on

We need a war on

on bad food and a victory for healthy food. We need a National Institute of Nutrition. We need public-private partnerships and guardrails so industry can fund nutrition research. I think industry has a role to fund nutrition research, but we really have to figure out how to do that transparently and carefully and independently.

It's, it's, it's a challenge. You know, again, the food industry is a heart healthy cereal with seven teaspoons of sugar. You know, that makes you want to quit the American Heart Association. It's challenging. It's challenging. I mean, I mean, the food industry has expertise that we need and they also have negative influence that we don't need.

And so how can we use the expertise and, and minimize the negative. So, And then I think the last area, you know, and have transparency around food in general. And I think the last policy area, we talked about economic incentives, schools, work sites, research and innovation, the healthcare system. The last area is sort of quality standards. There are some basic things.

There are some basic things.

The same way we have quality standards for toys or for cars or for houses. We need some minimum quality standards. And the easiest places to start are additives. So we need quality standards. Basically, the government's saying you shouldn't have too much of these things in food. It's just a minimum standard. We already have done that for trans fat. That's a huge win for the U.S.

We need to do that for salt and for added sugar additives. And then we need marketing restrictions on marketing of unhealthy foods to young kids.
