You just can't afford it.

And my wife says, which I haven't tasted, that there's a place in Paris.

She took her mother for her mother's 75th birthday and a special trip to Paris.

And there's a place called PLAQ that has, she says, the best chocolate ice cream she's ever had.

I haven't been there.

So let me talk about food for a second.

Yeah.

Food is incredibly important for all sorts of reasons.

Cooking keeps your mind sharp, you know, following recipes, making up recipes.

It's good for sociabilities, as we've mentioned many, many times.

It's obviously also critical for nutrition and part of the problem.

I would say a large part of the problem of American food

decrease in problems in life expectancy, not reaching those of other countries like Japan or France or Switzerland, the obesity epidemic, which is worse than the United States and anywhere else.

All of that is traceable to the food and our food system.

What I try to say in this book is the most important things you can do are

No, stop doing a few things and start doing a few things.

Don't try to change everything all at once.
